We expect our customers, suppliers, contractors, and employees to:

• Conduct business ethically and responsibly.
• Comply with all applicable anti-bribery and corruption laws, including the UK Bribery Act 2010.
• Implement adequate procedures to prevent any associated person from committing an offence, including offering, or receiving inducements for improper performance or engaging in corrupt practices.

This prohibition is in place to:

• Prevent actual or perceived attempts to influence decision-making.
• Eliminate the risk of bias or conflicts of interest.
• Reinforce our commitment to ethical and transparent business conduct.

Any attempt to offer such courtesies may result in corrective action, including termination of the supplier relationship or disciplinary measures where applicable.

5. Conflicts of Interest

All suppliers, contractors, and Entec employees, must avoid situation, actual or perceived, that could compromise the integrity, fairness, or transparency of their relationship with the company.

Conflicts of interest may arise in various forms, including but not limited to:

• Personal or familial relationships between supplier personnel and Entec employees.

Any such circumstances must be promptly and voluntarily disclosed to Entec International. Transparency is essential to uphold ethical standards and safeguard the integrity of our business relationships.

6. Anti-Competitive Practices

Entec International is firmly committed to fair, free, and open competition. We strictly prohibit all forms of anti-competitive behaviour by suppliers, contractors, and employees.

• Cartel activity, such as price fixing, bid rigging, or market sharing.
• Agreements that limit competition, including those that restrict discounts, commissions, rebates, or technical development.
• Any action that breaches competition or anti-trust laws, whether formal or informal.
