ETHICS AND INTEGRITY
Setting high standards
Our reputation for integrity is one of the most valuable things AJJ has built over the years. We hold ourselves to standards that go beyond just meeting the laws and regulations that apply to us. Our principles are rooted in something simpler: always aiming to exceed what our clients expect from us, not just what's legally required.
Business Conduct and Ethics
AJJ's Code of Business Conduct and Ethics lays out the basic principles every employee is expected to follow. It's backed up by internal policies, ongoing training, and clear expectations around how we do business, every single day.
We have zero tolerance for illegal or unethical conduct. That's reflected across our policies covering conflicts of interest, gifts and entertainment, money laundering, fraud, sanctions, outside business activities, political contributions, and bribery and corruption. Any employee who violates these standards faces disciplinary action.
We hold the vendors and businesses we work with to the same high standard. Before partnering with anyone, we run appropriate due diligence based on the risks involved, including corruption risk.
Our commitment to anti-bribery and corruption compliance
AJJ and everyone connected to our business, including directors, employees, consultants, and representatives, are committed to operating with the highest ethical standards. Compliance with anti-bribery and corruption laws isn't optional to us; it's fundamental. We prohibit any improper payment to public officials or private individuals, and that includes facilitation payments or anything offered for a corrupt purpose.
Training and oversight
Every AJJ employee goes through mandatory training on our Anti-Bribery and Corruption Policy at least once a year, and they're tested to make sure the training actually sticks. Beyond that, we run additional targeted training sessions covering real-world scenarios and region-specific risks, since compliance doesn't look the same across five different countries.
This training is backed by a broader compliance program that's regularly reviewed to make sure our controls are actually working, not just existing on paper. Where risks are higher, we put extra oversight in place to protect both AJJ and our clients.
