Trust, respect, integrity and honesty are essential to Home Group. Any type of corruption is contradictory to the objective of doing good business. We have zero tolerance towards corruption in any form.
When dealing with officials, we need to always act in a professional way, solving daily business issues in a legal and ethical way.
We shall always make business decisions based on what is in the best interest of the Group. Decisions shall never be based on personal considerations or relationships. A conflict of interest arises when anything interferes with or influences the exercise of a co-worker’s independent judgment in the best interest of Home Group. We must avoid situations in which our personal interest may conflict with, or even appear to conflict with, the interest of the Group.
Home Group is committed to creating a safe and respectful work environment in which our colleagues can grow and perform at their best. We protect our colleagues from discrimination and harassment. We make all employment-related decisions (such as hiring, promotion, salary changes) based only on the evaluation of an individual’s qualification, competencies, and achievements. Discrimination because of gender, sexuality, national origin, race, religion, disability, age, marital status, or any other legally protected characteristics is strictly prohibited. Similarly, we do not tolerate harassment at work, meaning that Home Group leaders especially and all other Home Group employees are not allowed to display any sort of verbal, visual or physical behavior with the aim to intimidate, abuse, or harass.
