ABOUT THIS CODE OF BUSINESS CONDUCT

The achievement of the success is dependent on an environment free of behaviours which can undermine the important missions of our institution. An atmosphere of mutual respect, collegiality, fairness, and trust is essential. Bittele Electronics Inc. is committed to establishing and implementing a standard of excellence in every aspect of our business, while promoting and ensuring the ethical and responsible conduct in all of our operations, with the utmost respect for the rights of all individuals and for the environment.

We expect these same commitments to be shared by all Bittele Electronics Inc. employees as well as other organizations that Bittele Electronics Inc. is in business with.

Bittele Electronics Inc. will comply with all applicable laws and regulations, including local and provincial codes, rules and regulations, applicable treaties and industry standards. Additionally, employees shall adhere to internal rules and regulations as they apply in a given situation. The internal rules are specific to the Company and may go beyond what is required by the law.

Conditions in all work and residential facilities provided by the manufacturer must be safe, clean and consistent with all applicable laws and regulations, ensuring reasonable access to clean, potable water and sanitary facilities, fire safety and adequate ventilation. Bittele Electronics Inc. will also ensure that the same standards of health and safety are applied in any housing that they provide for employees.

A Conflict of Interest occurs when personal interests of an employee, their spouse, siblings, children, other immediate family members or the interests of a third party compete with the interests of Bittele Electronics Inc. or our clients. In such a situation, it can be difficult for the employee to act fully in the best interests of Company. We make business decisions based on the best interest of our Company and our clients and not for personal gain or benefit. We require all employees to disclose actual or perceived conflicts of interest proactively and promptly to their manager and Human Resources.

Employees should not give or accept any cash, gifts, entertainment, hospitality, or other items of value from customers, suppliers or vendors which could raise concerns regarding the Company’s integrity and independence.

Gifts (excludes cash) of nominal values ($75 CDN or less) or entertainment may be given or accepted only where appropriate and where there is no risk of creating the perception of influencing business decisions.

Customary activities include modest forms of hospitality, such as lunches or dinners and occasional gifts of minimal value ($75 CDN or less), which do not influence business decisions. If you are offered anything that is more than nominal in value (more than $75 CDN), you must consult with your manager or Human Resources.

Confidential information consists of any information that is not or not yet public information. It includes trade secrets, business, marketing and service plans, client information, designs, databases, records, salary information and any nonpublished financial or other data.

Unless required by law or authorized by their management, employees shall not disclose confidential information. This obligation continues beyond the termination of employment. Furthermore, employees must use best efforts to avoid unintentional disclosure by applying special care when storing or transmitting confidential information.

Although the Company strives to ensure that each employee has access to the resources needed to perform his/her job, the Company also expects all employees to understand that use of those resources is limited to the performance of their jobs. Employees are responsible for locking their computers in their desks when they are not in use. Also, employees are responsible for all the equipment whenever they take it out of the office. Any unauthorized use, retention or disclosure of any Company resources or property will be regarded as theft warranting disciplinary action up to and including termination and may prompt various civil and/or criminal legal actions. Employees are responsible for protecting the key fobs, desk keys and locker keys. Please report to HR immediately if the keys are lost.

Any business must be conducted in an honest and straightforward manner to protect the integrity and reputation of the Company. We will be respectful to suppliers, and conduct the dealings with suppliers in a fair, just, and sincere manner. We will evaluate and select suppliers fairly based on such rational standards as quality, price, delivery performance, steady supply.

Improving customer service is an important goal of Bittele. The customer code of conduct applies to all employees of Bittele and should be used as a guide in providing superior customer service. The customer must always come first. One happy customer may tell a few people about their service experience; however, an unhappy customer will tell everyone in their circles.

When one of our employees fails to follow our Code, Company policy or the law, we will act to address the problem and prevent future occurrences. Depending on the circumstances, corrective and preventive steps might include training, counseling and disciplinary actions up to and including suspension without pay, loss of annual incentives, and termination of employment.
