Code of Conduct
Stalis is committed to understanding, managing, and mitigating any negative sustainability impact.
Stalis supports the Ten Principles of the UN Global Compact and act to positively contribute to the UN Sustainable Development Goals.
We deliver our commitment by:
Business ethics: We conduct all business with honesty and integrity and comply with all relevant legislation. Anti-competitive practices including market-sharing, price-fixing, non-respect of confidentiality agreements, industrial espionage and abuse of dominant position are prohibited.
Community: We strive to positively contribute to our local communities as well as local/National charitable organisations
Corruption: We prohibit corruption in all its forms, including bribery, extortion, fraud, embezzlement, money laundering and facilitation payments. Gifts and hospitality are not accepted if they are in any way thought or perceived to be in return for either doing/not doing something or showing favour/disfavour to a person or organisation.
Information security and data privacy: We recognise the importance of protecting personal information and are committed to processing it responsibly and in compliance with the applicable data protection legislation in the UK/EEA including UK GDPR obligations. External disclosure of confidential information is prohibited
Inclusion and discrimination: We respect and champion individual differences, providing equal opportunities in relation to all aspects of employment and work conditions. Direct discrimination, indirect discrimination, harassment, and victimisation in relation to age; colour; COVID-19; disability (mental or physical); ethnicity; gender reassignment; marriage or civil partnership status; nationality; political opinion; pregnancy and maternity; race; religion or belief; sex; sexual orientation; and worker representative organisations are all prohibited.
Environment: We minimise our environmental impact. Although we are a fully remote organisation with no office to maintain, we measure our carbon footprint and continually strive to reduce this where we can particularly with regards to reducing waste, and energy use, and recycling wherever possible; conducting meetings by video/tele conference and using public transport or car sharing where travel is necessary.
Health and safety: We are committed to effectively managing all aspects of health and safety in our workplace and positively contributing to employee wellbeing.
Human Rights: We respect human rights and operate in accordance with the fundamental rights set out in the International Labour Organisation’s Declaration on Fundamental Principles and Rights at Work: This includes upholding freedom of association and collective bargaining, not using forced or child labour, and eliminating discrimination. All reasonable steps are taken to prevent slavery and human trafficking.
Lobbying: We do not give political donations, and we prohibit lobbying in contradiction of the standards upheld in this policy.
Tax: We comply with the letter and spirit of all tax laws applicable to the company. We are committed to paying our taxes, not engaging in tax avoidance and being transparent in our relationship with the HMRC. As a company headquartered and operating in the UK we pay all relevant UK taxes, in addition to paying all taxes arising in non-UK jurisdictions.
Supply chain: We are committed to paying our suppliers on time and promptly. Our standard supplier payment terms are 30 days.
This Code of Conduct applies to all employees of Stalis, and to all individuals conducting client work on the behalf of Stalis. Training on the Code of Conduct is available as needed, with annual mandatory training on Data Security and Awareness also provided.
