Taking care of people and performing with integrity 

The foundation of our operations is our professional, well-being, and committed personnel. Our employees are our most important asset, and we want to cherish their well-being and satisfaction at work. Mutual trust and respect for each other is one of our values and in the heart of our operations. Additionally, we follow high ethical standards and operate responsibly in all situations, and expect the same from all actors in our value chain. 

Care for employee well-being 

Health and safe workplace is a necessity in Aidian. We strive to provide our employees with a secure and supportive environment characterized by mutual trust, respect, good management, and vigilant processes. Our focus is on preventing hazardous situations, occupational diseases, and injuries through continuous monitoring and regular risk assessments. We encourage proactive reporting of safety issues via our safety observation program, believing early intervention is key to workplace health and well-being. 

Aidian values employee input in HR decisions and maintains close dialogue with employee representatives. Together, we have created a Work Community Development Plan to support employee well-being, and regularly measure and monitor employee experience through surveys. 

We are committed to treating all employees equally, fairly, and with respect, recognizing the importance of a diverse, inclusive workplace for well-being, commitment, and innovation. Every Aidian employee has equal opportunities to succeed and develop, regardless of age, sex, sexual orientation, religion, or ethnic background. 

As the world and operating environments evolve, continuous skill development is crucial. Our competent and curious employees are our greatest asset, driving Aidian's success and competitiveness. We offer extensive training to support ongoing learning and professional development, ensuring our employees feel motivated and engaged in meaningful work that aligns with their skills in a well-managed and safe environment. 

Transparent and ethical business practices 

We uphold high ethical standards and operate responsibly, expecting the same from all actors in our value chain. We respect the UN Global Compact’s Ten Principles and the International Labour Organization (ILO) conventions. Our Code of Conduct, which all employees must follow, embeds principles and values to respect human rights. We promote awareness of the Code through internal communication, familiarization processes, and training courses, and monitor compliance, reacting to any violations. 

Aidian actively fights bribery and corruption, strictly prohibiting such activities among employees, suppliers, service providers, distributors, and partners. Our Code of Conduct and Anti-Corruption Policy instruct employees to refuse bribes and report suspected violations via Aidian’s Whistleblow channel. We also enforce fair competition guidelines through our Code of Ethical Business Practice, tolerating no form of bribery or corruption. 

Our Third-Party Code of Conduct commits suppliers, distributors, and partners to the same high ethical standards. We continuously develop our due diligence process to mitigate ethics risks in our global value chain.
