Integrity guides our conduct towards our business partners, colleagues, shareholders and the general public.To a substantial degree our Company’s public image is determined by our actions and by the way each and every one of us presents and conducts themselves. .
All employees share responsibility for ensuring our Company meets its legal and social responsibility. This basic statement of our Company anti corruption policy is based on high ethical and legal standards.
Behavior which Abides by the Law
Observance of the law and the legal system is a fundamental principle for our Company. Every employee shall obey the laws and regulations of the legal systems within which they are acting. Violating the law must be avoided under all circumstances, especially violations punishable by jail, monetary penalties, or fines. Regardless of the sanctions foreseen by the law, any employee guilty of a violation will be liable to disciplinary consequences because of the violation of his/her employment duties.
Abiding by Fair Competition and Anti-Trust Legislation
Only fair competition enjoys the right of developing freely. The principle of integrity also applies to the battle for market shares.Every employee is obligated to abide by the rules of fair competition.
Anti-trust evaluation can be difficult in individual cases. However, some types of behaviour regularly constitute a violation of anti-trust legislation. For instance, employees and competitors may not have talks in which prices or capacities are arranged. It is also inadmissible to enter into an agreement not to compete with a competitor; to submit bogus offers for bidding; or to divide up customers, territories, or production programs.
Our employees must have no influence upon the resale prices charged by our purchasers, nor may they attempt to put through export or import prohibitions.
Offering and Granting Advantages
We battle for orders with the quality and the price of our innovative products and services.
No employee may directly or indirectly offer or grant unjustified advantages to others in connection with business dealings, neither in monetary form nor as some other advantage.
Client gifts to business partner employees must be selected so as to avoid any appearance of bad faith or impropriety in the mind of the recipient. In cases of doubt, the recipient should be asked to obtain prior permission for the gift from his/her supervisor.
Gifts must not be made to public officials or other civil servants.
Employees concluding contracts with consultants, intermediaries, agents, or comparable third parties must see to it that these also offer or grant no unjustified advantages.
Demanding and Accepting Advantages
No employee may use his/her job title to demand, accept, obtain, or be promised advantages. This does not apply to the acceptance of occasional gifts of insignificant value, but any other gifts must be refused or returned.
Special Rules for Awarding Contracts
Any bidder for a contract expects us to examine his/her bid fairly and without prejudice.
Employees whose work involves the awarding of contracts must particularly abide by the following rules:
- The employee must inform his/her supervisor of any personal interest he/she could possibly have in connection with the execution of his/her professional duties.
- There must be no unfair discrimination for or against any suppliers in their competition for contracts.
- Invitations from business partners may only be accepted if the occasion and scope of the invitation are appropriate and if refusing the invitation would be discourteous.
- Gifts from business partners must be refused and returned unless they are occasional gifts of insignificant value.
- No employee may have private contracts fulfilled by companies with which he/she has company business dealings if he/she could derive any advantage there from.
Transparency of Political Donations
Political donations must not be made to either political parties, public officials or other civil servants.

The Board of Napier Turbochargers Limited shall actively ensure compliance with the Anti corruption policy and see to it that it is implemented consistently. Compliance with the law and observance of the Anti corruption policy shall be monitored on a regular basis.
