At Skardin, we maintain high ethical standards across our global workforce. We expect employees to take responsibility for their actions and adhere to our values of honesty and integrity, consistent with our commitment to always conduct business fairly and ethically.

GOVERNANCE

Skardin has established a corporate governance and oversight process whereby leaders from compliance, internal audit and risk management meet quarterly with Skardin’s executive committee. These meetings ensure company leadership is aware of key risks and related risk mitigation efforts, drive alignment with the company’s strategic priorities, and help protect shareholder interests.
Skardin’s Code of Conduct guides us on how to make sound decisions and illustrates proper actions for conducting our businesses. Our Code promotes a shared understanding of what achieving the right results the right way means. By knowing and following our Code, each of us does our part to maintain and further build trust with our various stakeholders—including our colleagues, customers and business partners, shareholders and communities.
Skardin prohibits all forms of corruption, including bribery, and we abide by all anti-corruption laws in every country we do business. We have a robust anti-corruption program that includes a global Anti-Corruption Policy and other compliance procedures and controls designed to minimize the potential for corruption in Skardin’s global business dealings, such as enhanced due diligence, screening, monitoring of high risk third parties. We train our employees and high-risk third parties to raise awareness of corruption risks and applicable anti-corruption laws in order to both avoid inadvertent violations of the law and enable early recognition and handling of potential issues.
We have a strong “Speak Up” culture at Skardin, which helps us handle issues and address problems in a timely manner, building trust with one another and with our customers, suppliers and business partners and protecting the company from legal, financial and reputational risks. Employees are encouraged to voice concerns or ask questions through multiple channels, including by talking with their supervisors, Human Resources, or Compliance,
