Code of Ethics & Conduct
Getting business done is not enough; we must do the right thing.
Acoplin's mission is to design, develop, manufacture, sell, distribute, import and export products with the utmost rigor in quality and safety. Our reputation is our most valuable asset — built not only on the quality of the products we deliver, but on the integrity and ethical behavior of every person who represents us.
This Code sets out the guidelines that steer our daily actions and decisions. It applies to every level of the organization — management, leaders, employees, interns — and to all business partners, suppliers and service providers acting on behalf of, or together with, the company.
