Integrity in Action
At Apeiron, integrity is the foundation of every action we take. Our Code of Conduct defines the principles that guide our professional behavior and ensures we operate with transparency, respect, and responsibility.
Conducting Ourselves
According to our Code
Apeiron’s Code of Conduct (CoC) is informed by a set of values and principles that encapsulate what we expect from employees and associates acting on behalf of our company. This code offers guidelines on how we should conduct our daily professional activities, directed towards our mission, but always under the ethical principles that regulate our company.
The Code of Conduct is the guide that ensures that all employees and associates representing Apeiron act according to the values that we promote as a company. In addition to our CoC, employees must know the specific policies that regulate our professional activities.
For Apeiron, it is extremely important that all team members take the time to regularly refresh their familiarity with our CoC and the policies that regulate our professional activities. Apeiron continuously updates its policies and provides courses and workshops deigned to facilitate consistent ethical conduct. All Apeiron employees and associates must adhere to the CoC, and any failure to comply will be subject to disciplinary action, up to and including termination of employment.
