WE DON’T OFFER OR ACCEPT IMPROPER
GIFTS OR INVITATIONS
Moderate, reasonable gifts and
invitations are generally acceptable if
they are infrequent, clearly legitimate
and serve a business purpose.
Access to vehicles or facilities for
private use
This may include showcasing the Club’s
services, strengthening relationships, or
enhancing our reputation.
Invitations or hospitality that
are excessive, frequent and/or
inappropriate
Reasonable business meals or
hospitality may be acceptable but
always assess the context and timing.
However, even low-value gifts or
invitations may be inappropriate if
offered frequently or during ongoing
or upcoming negotiations.
Never offer or accept anything that
could reasonably be perceived as an
attempt to influence a decision or gain
an improper advantage.
Examples of gifts and invitations
that are always prohibited:
Cash, gift cards or jewellery —
in any context, including to/from
public officials
Goods or services offered below
market value
Anything unethical (e.g. gifts
with sexual content)
As a manager, you must ensure
that your team is well informed and
understands the risks related to gifts
and invitations.
HAVE IN MIND:
Think twice before offering
or accepting any gift, meal
or invitation
Check whether formal approval
from your manager is needed
If in doubt, always consult the
Risk Management Function
Politely refuse and report
anything that seems improper
WE SUPPORT COMMUNITIES
THROUGH DONATION AND
SPONSORSHIP
WE REMAIN NEUTRAL
IN POLITICAL AND
GOVERNMENT MATTERS
We believe in supporting the
communities in which we live and work.
Any donation or sponsorship must be
assessed in advance to ensure that it
does not harm the Club’s reputation or
conflict with our principles and values.
The Club remains neutral towards
political parties and candidates.
We do not take political positions.
Donations and sponsorships must never
benefit individuals or private interests.
The recipient must be trustworthy and
aligned with the Club’s values.
The Club’s Management Team sets the
overall framework for such activities.
You must never use working hours,
the Club property or equipment for
personal political activities.
Always make sure your political
views and actions are clearly
personal and never presented
as representing the Club.
