Code of Ethics

Adherence to applicable legal and other regulations (compliance) is the basis of our decision-making and actions in doing business and is firmly embedded in our corporate culture.

The Foster Facility is against corruption and bribery. Business practices that use unfair means are not tolerated. Foster Facility employees may not offer, receive or accept any benefits from their business partners that lead to a violation of objective and fair business decision-making or may even give the impression of doing so.

At Foster Facility, business decisions are made solely in the best interest of the company. Potential conflicts of interest with private affairs or other economic or any other activities, including those involving close persons or organizations, must be nipped in the bud. If it nevertheless occurs, such a case must be dealt with in accordance with legal regulations and applicable internal guidelines. A condition for such a procedure is transparent informing of the superior about the conflict of interests.

No employee may, either alone or jointly with others, engage in conduct that violates domestic or foreign anti-money laundering regulations. In case of doubt regarding the admissibility of transactions involving the transfer of cash, the relevant finance department should be contacted as soon as possible.

Foster Facility employees may not request, receive, offer or provide - either directly or indirectly - unauthorized pecuniary benefits in the form of monetary payments, gifts or any other contribution or performance in the course of their work. This applies in relation to individuals, businesses as well as official bodies or other institutions. In particular, no benefits of any kind may be offered or provided to official representatives of domestic or foreign institutions.
