AIM AND SCOPE
The intent of this document is to create awareness amongst all employees of the organization about the significance of business ethics and the Company’s commitment to ensuring the same. Compliance with this document is mandatory, and exceptions are not permitted.
WHAT IS ETHICS?
Wikipedia defines “Business Ethics” as “the field of ethics that examines moral controversies relating to the social responsibilities of business practices, in any economic system.” It looks at various business activities and asks, “Is this ethically right or wrong?” As a company and organization, this is what concerns us the most.
WHY ETHICS?
It is essential that we understand how we, as individuals and as employees of this company, should act towards one another, our customers, our clients and anyone we deal with during the course of our professional day.
In essence, ethics is all about what kind of people we are and what values guide us in our daily activities, and how these values guide us in the way we make decisions as we conduct the business of the company. A company, once damaged by scandal, improper conduct or even the appearance of it, will never regain its reputation. This will affect the entire organization, regardless of who was responsible.
COMMITMENT AND RESPONSIBILITY
BIGXpress Global Logistics Ltd is committed to ensuring that all its activities are conducted under all applicable legal and regulatory requirements and the highest standards of ethical business conduct.
It is the responsibility of all BGLL to ensure that none of BGLL businesses engages in practices which violate legal or regulatory requirements or which fall below these standards. Any BGLL employee engaging in business practices which violate legal or regulatory obligations or fall below the standards of ethical business conduct may be subject to disciplinary action, which may lead to dismissal and/or personal, criminal or civil liability.
It is the responsibility of each BGLL employee to ensure that they report an infringement or suspected infringement, legal or regulatory, to their direct manager or a member of the Compliance Committee following Company Policy on this subject.

This brief document outlines what the company regards as appropriate or inappropriate in our day-to-day dealings: what we consider to be our Company Ethics.
Our Business Ethics represents the way in which we interact and deal with all types of clients, customers, agents and network members from all around the world. With such a variety of relations being formed involving different cultures and ways of doing business, our Company Code of Ethics, with values and principles which are robust and have endured the test of time, will eliminate uncertainty and assist in making the right and ethical decision.
The corporate conduct of BGLL is based on acting responsibly, honestly and with integrity at all times, and BGLL employees are required to work in the best interests of the Company. The Company’s interests may be jeopardized
in the event of any conflicts of interest involving its employees, mainly if any such dispute gives rise to any issues of bribery and corruption.
BIGXpress Global Logistics policies are supported by further guidance notes and the application of common sense, logic and the basic standards of behaviour expected in the local and international ecosystem in which the Company participates. These should assist in guiding each employee in determining the correct course of action when dealing with ethical standards in the performance of their daily working lives.
Our Business Ethics Policy provides employees with the fundamental principles required to govern the behaviour of all Bigxpress Global Logistics Ltd employees in the performance of their duties. A guiding principle should be that neither BGLL overall integrity nor its local reputation would be damaged if details of the business practice or transaction were publicly disclosed.
While it is impractical to try to cover every potential circumstance, the following descriptions of the standards are intended to assist employees. Failure of employees to observe the terms of the Ethics Code or any of the supporting BGLL policies and guidance notes may constitute a serious disciplinary offence and involve the termination of their employment.
If any employee believes that the standards of the Code and related policies are not being correctly adhered to, they should raise these concerns immediately. For this purpose, BGLL has instituted measures ensuring that any Employee who brings forth such a concern can do so without fear of either being punished or any retaliatory action being taken.

A situation that creates, appears to create, or might create a conflict of interest between personal interests and the interests of the company must be avoided at all costs.

The resources provided by the Company are there to assist employees in performing their day-to-day responsibilities efficiently and productively. While the Company ensures that all needed resources, be it equipment or otherwise, are provided to aid the employee in effectively carrying out Company business, the employee is responsible for ensuring that these resources are used for work and work-only purposes.

are these resources to be shared with anyone outside the Company or to be used for private purposes. Similarly, employees are responsible for taking appropriate measures to protect these resources.
PERSONAL CONDUCT
