About Us

Responsible, systemized operations

SIE is part of a comprehensive program aimed at identifying and mitigating compliance risks. Additionally, SIE has implemented a group-wide policy designed to protect both the organization and its employees, while fostering trust-based collaborations with business partners now and in the future.

The SIE Group focuses on three core areas:

  • -Competition Law
  • -Anti-corruption
  • -Sanctions list assessment

A key element of the compliance system is a thorough training program for employees, as compliance starts with them. The Compliance Team at SIE Group serves as the primary consulting and assessment authority for the three-tiered policy, which maintains a consistent structure across the SIE Group.

Preventing Corruption

The SIE Group enforces a strict zero-tolerance stance on bribery and corruption, which is regarded as a shared responsibility among all managers. To support this, the SIE Group has established an anti-bribery guideline that outlines the expected standards of conduct for every employee and representative.

Whistleblower Protection

At SIE, we uphold clear ethical principles, which are fundamental to our business success. Every member of the SIE team is accountable for ensuring that we adhere to these principles; often, the actions of a few can tarnish the reputation of the entire organization. Therefore, it is vital for SIE to be informed of any potential misconduct involving its employees, suppliers, or third parties as soon as possible, allowing us to respond swiftly and effectively address the issue.

There are various federal and state laws across the United States aimed at protecting individuals who report misconduct or illegal activities within organizations. SIE is dedicated to ensuring that those who raise concerns under these laws have access to appropriate channels, sufficient information, necessary data protection, and safeguards against retaliation. To support this commitment, SIE has set up an internal reporting channel for reporting any work-related misconduct or wrongdoing, including unsafe, unethical, improper, or unlawful behavior. Through this internal reporting channel, whistleblowers can alert SIE to potential work-related issues. For instance, whistleblowers may use this channel to report:

- bribery and corruption;

- conflicts of interest; 

- environmental, health, and safety violations;

- any other improper or unlawful conduct.

All reports will be handled with the highest level of confidentiality to ensure the protection of whistleblowers and those mentioned in the reports. SIE fosters an environment where concerns can be raised without fear of retaliation, with the assurance that the issues will be addressed. Reports received by SIE will be managed professionally, kept confidential, and investigated thoroughly. SIE strictly prohibits retaliation against anyone who reports known or suspected work-related misconduct in good faith (believed to be true by the individual at the time of reporting).

The internal reporting channel is managed by the Compliance Department.

Code of Business Standards

The trust that the SIE Group has earned from customers, employees, business partners, and the public is of utmost importance.

To enhance this trust, the SIE Group has established a Code of Business Standards that outlines the company's core values and expected behaviors for all employees.

The SIE Code of Business Standards serves as the foundation for all business decisions and governs responsible interactions with all stakeholders.

Supplier Code of Conduct

The SIE Group expects its suppliers to uphold the standards set forth in this Supplier Code of Conduct, implement them through appropriate measures, and comply with them in their business operations.

Sanctions  (Updated regularly based on legal and regulatory requirements.)

The shipment of goods or parcels is strictly prohibited under all applicable sanctions laws. For instance, certain contents, intended recipients, or countries involved in the shipment may be restricted by sanction laws. These laws encompass all regulations and orders that impose sanctions (including trade restrictions and economic sanctions) on countries, individuals, or entities, including those enforced by OFAC.
