Code of Conduct

We treat people with dignity and provide a professional environment free from discrimination, harassment, bullying, intimidation, and violence.

Employment and project decisions must be based on legitimate business considerations such as skills, performance, experience, and role requirements. Discrimination based on personal characteristics protected by applicable law is not tolerated.

We represent our capabilities, experience, delivery status, and results accurately. We do not conceal material risks, falsify records, misstate qualifications, or promise outcomes we cannot reasonably deliver.

We maintain accurate time records, expenses, project documentation, financial information, and operational reports. Technical work must follow agreed quality, review, testing, security, and approval processes.

Personal interests must not improperly influence business decisions. Actual, potential, or perceived conflicts must be disclosed promptly. Disclosure allows FIX Partner to assess and manage a situation fairly and does not automatically mean an activity is prohibited.

FIX Partner does not offer, request, authorize, or accept bribes, kickbacks, facilitation payments, or any improper advantage. This applies to dealings with private organizations, public officials, and all third parties.

Gifts and hospitality must be lawful, modest, infrequent, transparent, and connected to a legitimate business purpose. Cash or cash equivalents must never be given or accepted as gifts. Anything that could influence, or appear to influence, a decision must be declined and reported.

We compete fairly and do not obtain business through deception, misuse of confidential information, collusion, or unfair restrictions on competition.

We collect, access, use, share, retain, and dispose of personal and confidential information only for authorized business purposes and in accordance with applicable law, customer contracts, and FIX Partner policies. Confidentiality obligations continue after an engagement or employment ends.

Security is part of everyone’s role. We follow secure development, testing, deployment, and incident-response practices appropriate to each engagement.

FIX Partner systems and customer environments must be used responsibly. Unauthorized software, credential sharing, security-control bypasses, malicious activity, and unapproved transfer of data are prohibited.

AI tools may only be used when authorized and appropriate for the data involved. Customer source code, personal data, credentials, proprietary documents, and other confidential information must not be submitted to public or unapproved AI services. AI-assisted work remains subject to human review, accuracy checks, security controls, intellectual-property obligations, and customer requirements.

We respect the intellectual-property rights of customers, FIX Partner, employees, partners, and third parties.

Source code, designs, documentation, data, devices, accounts, licenses, and other assets must be used only for authorized purposes. Open-source and third-party materials must follow their licenses and project requirements. Customer deliverables and ownership rights must follow the applicable contract.

FIX Partner supports internationally recognized human rights and lawful, voluntary employment. We do not tolerate forced labor, child labor, human trafficking, abusive working conditions, or unlawful employment practices in our operations or supply chain.

Working hours, compensation, leave, and employment conditions must comply with applicable law and contractual commitments. Health and safety risks should be identified, reported, and addressed promptly.

We aim to reduce avoidable waste and use energy, equipment, travel, and cloud resources responsibly. Business decisions should consider operational efficiency, environmental impact, security, accessibility, and long-term maintainability where relevant.

Suppliers and partners are selected using legitimate criteria such as capability, quality, security, reliability, compliance, and value. Third parties acting for FIX Partner are expected to uphold standards consistent with this Code.
