Code of conduct

Aaltronav (the “Company”) believes in equal opportunity and we do not discriminate, neither directly nor indirectly on grounds of age, ethnic background, nationality, gender, sexual orientation, pregnancy, religious belief or lack thereof, political opinion or affiliation, disability, or any other protected characteristic.

to conduct oneself in a manner that aims to ensure one’s own safety and that of others in the workplace

to report any safety-related information.

to not wilfully disrupt the Company’s or client’s business

to be of good faith and not to do anything to harm the trust and confidence necessary for employment

Reporting of all accidents, incidents, events, hazards, risks and other information that may compromise the safe conduct of our operations is free of any form of reprisal.

The purpose of reporting is risk control and accident and incident prevention, not the attribution of blame. No action will be taken against any member of staff who discloses a safety concern through the reporting system, unless such disclosure reveals, beyond any reasonable doubt, an illegal act, gross negligence, or a deliberate or wilful disregard of regulations or procedures, including this code of conduct.

Our method for collecting, recording and disseminating safety information guarantees the protection, to the maximum extent permissible by law, of the identity of those who report safety information.
