Code of Ethics

Effective Date: September 28, 2022

At the House of Czerlau Group, our commitment to integrity, responsibility, and excellence forms the foundation of everything we do. As we continue to grow and prosper, we remain deeply focused on maintaining a reputation that reflects the high ethical standards that we have set for ourselves. Our success is not only measured by the quality of our work but by the way in which we conduct ourselves in all interactions with clients, colleagues, brand partners, and the communities we serve.

The House of Czerlau Group is a global entity, operating in multiple jurisdictions, and it is imperative that we adhere to the highest ethical standards across all of our operations. Each of us is entrusted with the responsibility to act with integrity, and to align our actions with our core values, policies, and the laws that govern our work. While this Code of Ethics provides guidance, it is essential that every colleague exercises good judgment, speaks up when faced with ethical dilemmas, and ensures that they uphold the reputation and values of the House of Czerlau Group in all aspects of their work.

We are dedicated to fostering an environment of respect, inclusivity, and trust. Our colleagues are our most valuable asset, and we cultivate an atmosphere where diversity is celebrated and the contributions of each individual are valued. We believe that by upholding these principles, we not only strengthen our internal culture but also build lasting relationships with all of our stakeholders, enhancing our brand’s reputation as a socially responsible and ethical leader in the industry.

Every colleague has a responsibility to be familiar with the provisions of this Code and to engage in practices that reflect the values we espouse. Misconduct, whether deliberate or inadvertent, undermines the trust we have worked so hard to establish. Therefore, should any situation arise that challenges ethical decision-making, we encourage you to seek guidance from your line manager, HR representatives, or senior leadership to resolve the matter in a manner that is consistent with the principles outlined in this Code. We are committed to supporting colleagues who raise concerns or seek clarification, as it is only through collective accountability that we can continue to uphold the House of Czerlau Group’s reputation.

Ethics and compliance are integral to our way of doing business, and every colleague is expected to conduct themselves in a manner that fosters honesty, fairness, and respect. This means taking responsibility for the proper use of the Group’s resources, ensuring the safety and well-being of all those in the workplace, and protecting the confidentiality of both commercial and personal information. We must all be vigilant in safeguarding the integrity of our operations, understanding the implications of our actions, and avoiding any potential conflicts of interest.

Our commitment extends beyond compliance with local laws and regulations; we believe in going above and beyond, striving to make decisions that positively impact our communities and the environment. This includes supporting initiatives that contribute to social welfare and sustainability, while also ensuring that our conduct in the marketplace is consistent with principles of fairness and open competition.

Any form of bribery, corruption, or unethical conduct is unacceptable and will not be tolerated. We recognize that transparency and integrity are essential in fostering strong relationships with clients, partners, and regulatory bodies. In the pursuit of excellence, we ensure that our dealings are carried out with the utmost respect for legal frameworks, and we remain committed to the highest standards of governance.

We also understand that social media and public relations play an increasingly important role in shaping the perception of our Group. Therefore, we maintain strict guidelines regarding external communications, ensuring that any public-facing content is consistent with our values, legally sound, and aligned with our corporate vision. 

Colleagues must refrain from disclosing confidential information or making public statements that could compromise the reputation of the House of Czerlau Group.

Finally, we expect all colleagues to respect and comply with the procedures that protect confidential commercial and personal information. This is not only a legal obligation but also a vital aspect of maintaining trust and safeguarding the privacy of our clients, colleagues, and partners. Confidentiality must be maintained even after the conclusion of employment, and any misuse of privileged information for personal or professional gain is strictly prohibited.

By upholding these principles, we ensure that the House of Czerlau Group remains a respected and responsible entity in the global marketplace. Every colleague plays an integral role in this process, and we rely on each individual’s commitment to these values to continue building a legacy of excellence, integrity, and respect.
