Introduction
This Code of Professional Ethics (hereinafter referred to as the Code) establishes standards of behavior and ethical norms for all members of the organization. Its purpose is to foster a culture of honesty, responsibility, and respect, as well as to enhance the organization’s reputation as a reliable and consistent partner in the business community.
The Code is a mandatory document for review and signing by all participants of the organization, including cluster leaders and new members. Compliance with its provisions is an essential condition for participation in the organization’s activities. The document publicly declares our values and principles, demonstrating our commitment to high standards of professionalism.
Core Principles
The organization’s activities are based on the following fundamental values:
1.Honesty and Responsibility:
Members of the organization are obliged to fulfill given promises and commitments, even if they become disadvantageous. If conditions change, new arrangements must be agreed upon with partners, or the original commitments must be honored.
Every word must be backed by action. If feedback is promised, it must be provided on time, even if there is no information yet — in such cases, new deadlines should be specified.
2. Reputation and Honor:
The reputation of the organization and its members is a priority. Every participant’s actions must contribute to maintaining and strengthening the organization’s good name.
We strive to be recognized as reliable partners whose words and actions are consistent.
3. Courtesy and Tact:
Members are obliged to demonstrate respect and courtesy in all interactions, avoiding arrogance, inaccessibility, or ostentatious ambition.
4. Feedback:
Providing timely and constructive feedback is the duty of every member. Even in the absence of information, it is necessary to notify the relevant parties and specify deadlines for its provision.
Behavior and Ethics
Members of the organization are required to adhere to high standards of behavior both within the collective and in the public sphere:
1.Public Behavior:
Actions that could be perceived as offensive, disrespectful, or inappropriate are unacceptable.
Behavior in public spaces must align with the organization’s reputation.
2. Interactions Within the Organization and with Partners:
Members must avoid promoting their own interests or those of their companies at the expense of other participants.
Interactions are built on principles of mutual benefit, openness, and tact.
3. Compliance with Laws and Norms:
All members are obliged to comply with applicable legislation, the organization’s internal rules, and ethical standards.
Violation of these norms is considered a serious offense.
Responsibility
Members of the organization bear significant responsibility for their actions:
1. Scope of Responsibility:
As the organization’s influence and the volume of transactions grow, the responsibility of leaders increases.
Every participant must be aware of the scope of their role and be prepared for challenges.
2. Reputational Responsibility:
The behavior of each member reflects on the reputation of the entire organization. Inappropriate behavior in public or professional settings is unacceptable.
Members bear personal moral and reputational responsibility for their actions.
3. Self-Control and Awareness:
Members must understand their limitations and not evade responsibility by citing the complexity of tasks or the scale of operations.
The organization expects a high level of self-discipline and consistency.
Consequences of Violations
Violations of the Code entail strict measures:
1. Disciplinary Measures:
Upon identification of violations, an internal investigation is conducted. Depending on the severity of the offense, measures such as a warning, temporary suspension, or expulsion may be applied.
Serious violations result in immediate expulsion.
2.Public Condemnation:
If a member’s behavior damages the organization’s reputation, their actions will be publicly condemned by the leadership.
The organization will not defend members who violate the Code, regardless of their status or personal connections.
3. Reputation Above All:
The organization’s reputation takes precedence over the interests of any individual. Violators will be expelled and publicly condemned.
Process of Review and Signing
1. Review:
All members of the organization, including new participants, are required to thoroughly study the Code.
The document is public and accessible to all stakeholders.
2. Signing:
Each participant signs the Code, confirming their agreement with its provisions and commitment to comply with them.
Signing is a mandatory condition for joining and participating in the organization’s activities.
3. Reminders and Training:
The organization will regularly remind members of the Code’s provisions and conduct training, particularly for cluster leaders, on matters of ethics and responsibility.
Conclusion
The Code of Professional Ethics serves as the foundation for building a club of honor, conscience, integrity, responsibility, and respect. Adhering to its principles will enable us to set an example of impeccable professionalism, earn the trust of the business community, and strengthen the organization’s reputation as a reliable partner. We are a club of consistency and mutual benefit, where words always match actions.
