From fostering transparency and accountability to respecting the environment and our communities, this code reflects our commitment to upholding the highest standards in every aspect of our work.

We invite you to explore our Code of Business Conduct to see how these values underpin the way we do business, ensuring trust and mutual respect in all relationships.

• To prevent improper payments, gifts and gratuities, kickbacks and bribes to or from any employee and any person with whom Ecocoast conducts business.
• Compliance with the Code of Business Conduct is required for all Top management and Employees. The Code of Business Conduct should also be followed by the Company’s agents and representatives, including consultants and contractors/ suppliers’ and vendors.
