Our Code of Ethics
Universe Advanced Business Solutions (UABS) has established an Ethics and Compliance program, designed to bring our diverse and specialised personnel into our organisation with the same corporate goals and responsibilities.
It is the policy of UABS to incorporate this code of ethics into the UABS business model, creating an inclusive and ambitious corporate culture to enable our positive minded teams to operate with an integrity end a clear sense of their responsibilities to each other, our clients, the environment and the industry we hope to advance.
With each of our contracts, we acknowledge our implied obligation to govern our performance with not only the founding principles of UABS, but the expectations laid out in the code of ethics of the Prime Contractor, when UABS is the sub-contractor. We believe the client should get every success their service provider has promised. All of our people are part of the contract, and therefore all of our team members must put the contract first. Co-operation, communication and peer support are often a big part of honoring our obligations. The UABS team must hold this value in mind in the way they comport themselves with each other and the client, be they laborers, technicians or management.
At UABS, all employees and executives are accountable to each other in respect to their adherence to the ethics UABS has outlined, such as: At UABS we do not allow our colleagues to suffer bullying or harassment or hazing. This obligation extends to all forms of communication or interpersonal relations on site (worksite verbal, physical, or electronic transmissions), in company-provided residences, or to or from our worksites.
At UABS we avoid any damage to the environment. We use whatever impact mitigating systems are in place, and encourage the introduction of such where none exists.
At UABS we maintain a tidy appearance. This is the most visible way in which we show our respect for each other, our organization, and our client.
At UABS we treat each other with dignity and respect above the common standard. We use titles and honorary references, and maintain these manners, even as our relationships become more comfortable and assured. It will always be practical to be polite and deferential to our business partners.
We encourage personnel at all levels to raise concerns about ethical or client code of conduct transgressions. To that end, UABS has zero-tolerance for negative management, discipline, or retaliation for raising concerns within the process for such complaints set down for all employees by UABS. This is because at UABS, each of us knows that one of UABS’s primary goals is to create a positive, proactive, and professional working culture, wherein all of us feel encouraged and enabled to excel, in all factors of contract compliance.
Failure to follow the UABS code of ethics may result in: a verbal warning, an official warning on the employee record (using a “3 strikes” model for more serious consequences), suspension of employee privileges, and even termination. Determination of these consequences is the responsibility of the executive level, on a case by case basis, meted out by supervisors. We expect the best from our team, and it should be understood that this code of conduct will be enforced assertively.
Our aim is to create, maintain, and assure the best possible reputation for UABS, the trust of our colleagues and clients is our most important commodity. Through constant application and cooperative support at all levels of, we will make UABS the most respected, productive, and enjoyable company to work with in the region.
