Code of Conduct
Section 172 statement
In discharging our section 172 duties, the directors of the Aliaxis UK companies are required to have regard, among other matters, to the likely consequences of any decisions in the long-term; the interests of the Company’s employees; the need to foster the Company’s business relationships with suppliers, customers and others; the impact of the Company’s operations on the community and environment; the desirability of the Company maintaining a reputation for high standards of business conduct; and the need to act fairly between members of the Company.
In addition to the above, we also have regarded other factors, which we consider relevant to the decision being made. Those factors include the interests and views of stakeholders and our relationship with regulators. The Directors acknowledge that every decision it makes will not necessarily result in a positive outcome for all of the Company’s stakeholders. By considering the Company’s purpose and values, together with its strategic priorities including the risk management and having a process in place for decision-making, the Directors do however aim to make sure that its decisions are consistent and predictable.
