Ethics & Values
The Ethics and Values policies specifically state that Rotork will never offer, pay, solicit or accept bribes in any form. Group internal audits include Ethics policy compliance monitoring and these are reported to the Audit Committee. The Ethics Committee is a sub-committee of the CSR Committee and its members include the Group Finance Director and Group Legal Director. The Committee‘s remit includes review of the Group Ethics Policy and further development of systems and procedures for appropriate monitoring of the policies together with provision of suitable training for employees. The Ethics Committee reports into the CSR Committee whose Chair, the Chief Executive, reports into the RMB and Board on ethical matters. Senior Managers worldwide regularly receive presentations and training on the Group's ethical policies to enable them to ensure their staff are fully aware of and understand Rotork's ethics practices. These presentations make it clear that the Board of Rotork p.l.c. fully support and endorse the Group Ethics Policy.
Rotork is a signatory to the United Nations Global Compact and its Ten Universal Principles. These Principles are derived from the Universal Declaration of Human Rights ('UDHR') and incorporate human rights, labour, environment, bribery and corruption. The Group supports the UDHR and the International Labour Organisation's Declaration of Fundamental Principles and Rights at Work.
Rotork supports all United Nations' efforts to ensure the effective abolition of child forced compulsory labour and will never use any such labour in any of its operations worldwide.
The rights of every employee are respected and Rotork acts in ways that ensure all employees are treated with openness, mutual trust, dignity and respect. Everyone working at Rotork will be treated fairly and without discrimination on the basis of race, gender, language or religion.
