What we stand for
At Master Builders Solutions, integrity and compliance are paramount. Our Code of Conduct guides our actions, ensuring adherence to laws and regulations. We use a risk-oriented compliance management system (CMS) focusing on prevention, detection, and response to misconduct. Our SpeakUp channel allows employees and business partners to report issues anonymously, operating 24/7 with confidentiality.
Anti-Corruption
We are strictly committed to preventing and fighting corruption of any kind, and we expect our business partners to act in the same way.
Our Commitment against Slavery and Human Trafficking
We do not tolerate any forms of child and forced labor, human trafficking, and discrimination, and contribute to elimination of these wherever we can. Our employees work in a safe and secure environment and we offer opportunities for development and advancement. It is our commitment to maintaining the highest standards of business conduct and corporate governance practices. We expect our suppliers and supply chain to share the same values and comply with our aims in this regard.
We uphold the highest standards of integrity, strictly adhering to laws and regulations. This protects our reputation and builds trust with clients and partners. By operating responsibly, we drive long-term success and positively impact communities.
