Ethical Business Policy

At Be Creative, we uphold the highest standards of integrity, transparency, and ethical conduct in all aspects of our operations. Our commitment to ethical behaviour extends across every level of the organisation and guides our interactions with stakeholders, partners, and the community. This policy outlines our stance on key ethical considerations including money laundering, insider trading, conflicts of interest, fraud, bribery and corruption, unauthorised access to personal and business information, confidentiality, and compliance with the Data Protection Act 2018.

Money Laundering: We strictly prohibit any involvement in money laundering activities. Employees must comply with all applicable laws and regulations related to anti-money laundering efforts. Any suspicious activity must be promptly reported to the Director(s) for investigation and appropriate action.

Insider Trading: Insider trading is illegal and unethical. Employees are prohibited from trading securities or providing confidential information to others based on non-public information. All employees must adhere to insider trading laws and regulations and refrain from engaging in any activity that could lead to insider trading.

Conflicts of Interest: Employees must avoid situations where their personal interests conflict with those of the company. Any actual or potential conflicts of interest must be disclosed to the Director for assessment and resolution. Transparency and honesty are paramount in managing conflicts of interest to ensure the integrity of our decision-making processes.

Fraud, Bribery, and Corruption: We have zero tolerance for fraud, bribery, and corruption in any form. Employees must not engage in fraudulent activities, offer or accept bribes, kickbacks, or other improper payments. All business transactions must be conducted with honesty, fairness, and integrity, adhering to applicable laws and regulations.

Unauthorised Access to Personal and Business Information: We are committed to safeguarding personal and business information against unauthorised access, disclosure, or misuse. Employees must adhere to strict security protocols and only access information necessary for their roles. Any unauthorised access or breach of confidentiality must be reported immediately for investigation and remediation.

Confidentiality and Data Protection: We respect the confidentiality of information entrusted to us by clients, customers, partners, and employees. All confidential information must be handled with care and only disclosed to authorised individuals for legitimate business purposes. We are committed to compliance with the Data Protection Act 2018 and other relevant data protection regulations, ensuring the lawful and fair processing of personal data.

Compliance: Every employee is responsible for understanding and complying with this ethical business policy and relevant laws and regulations. Non-compliance with this policy may result in disciplinary action, including termination of employment and legal consequences. We encourage open communication and reporting of any concerns related to ethical misconduct to ensure a culture of integrity and accountability.

At Be Creative, ethical conduct is fundamental to our success and reputation. By adhering to these principles, we contribute to a positive work environment, foster trust with stakeholders, and uphold the values that define our organisation.

This policy is subject to periodic review and updates to reflect changes in laws, regulations, and business practices.
