CODE OF CONDUCT
Preface
​
Employees of Colombo Capital and its controlled affiliates and subsidiaries are expected to act honorably, obey the law, and show consideration for one another.
All of our staff members and board members are expected to be familiar with and adhere to this code of conduct. If this is not done, disciplinary measures, including termination of employment, may be taken. Our Board must give its approval before any directors or executive officers are exempt from this Code.
Never take action against anyone who discloses a potential breach of the Code or takes part in an investigation into it.
​
Please follow the behavior policy of your employer if you work for a Colombo Capital subsidiary or controlled affiliate. You can report a suspected violation or complaint through our Helpline if your workplace doesn't have its own code of conduct, if you have any questions or concerns about this Code, think that someone may be breaking it, or if you prefer to remain anonymous. Finally, if you think there has been a legal breach, you can always bring it up with a government agency or through the Ethics & Compliance helpline.

1. Prevent Interest Conflicts
You might be faced with a conflict of interest when you are in a professional circumstance where competing loyalties could lead you to pursue a personal gain for yourself, your friends, or your family at the expense of Colombo Capital or our users. Conflicts of interest and situations that can plausibly give the impression of a conflict should all be avoided.
​
When deciding on a course of action, examine whether it could give you an incentive—or give the impression that you have an incentive—to benefit yourself, your friends or family, or a related business at Colombo Capital's expense. If the answer is "yes," you should avoid doing the action you're thinking about since it might lead to a conflict of interest.
​
2. Ensure responsibility and financial integrity
Ascertain that funds are used wisely, our financial records are accurate and full, and our internal controls are upheld. Make sure you are knowledgeable of any pertinent policies, including those pertaining to revenue recognition, if your position requires you to record our transactions' financial information.
Never tamper with the financial records' audit. In the same vein, never fabricate any company account or record. Any financial integrity or fiscal responsibility-related violations, no matter how little, should be reported right away.
​
3. Follow the Law
Respect all legal requirements that apply and be aware of the main rules and legislation that concern your line of work. It is important to note here that there are a few particular laws that are simple to break unintentionally. Please contact the Helpline or our legal counsel if you have any queries regarding these laws or any other laws that apply to our activities.
