Geckoboard - Supplier Code of Conduct

Datachoice Solutions Limited t/a Geckoboard ("Geckoboard") are committed to operating in an ethical and fair way . We expect suppliers and other business partners with whom we do business to act with the same high standards. In that regard, suppliers, business partners and other third-parties ("Suppliers") must fully comply with this Supplier Code of Conduct ("Code") and educate their employees and subcontractors so they understand and comply with this Code when doing business with or for Geckoboard.

The Code should be viewed as the minimum standards that we expect from our supplier community. It is not intended to reduce, replace or limit any other legal or contractual obligations that you have to Geckoboard.

Our Policy can be summarized as Conduct Business with integrity. Specifically, Suppliers must:

BE TRANSPARENT

Avoid giving the appearance of or engaging in actual conflicts of interests. Suppliers or their representatives must not deal directly with any Geckoboard staff member whose spouse, domestic partner, or other family member or relative is employed by or holds a significant financial interest in the Supplier (other than publicly traded securities). Suppliers must disclose any such relationship or other actual or potential conflict of interest to their Geckoboard business contact for review as soon as the conflict becomes known.

NOT GIVE GIFTS TO INFLUENCE GECKOBOARD

Respect Geckoboard's Anti-Bribery and Anti-Corruption Policy. Do not offer, provide or solicit gifts or entertainment that might compromise or appear to compromise a Geckoboard staff members judgment or independence. That includes:

  • Gifts individually or cumulatively valued at more than £40 in any one year;
  • Any gift or charitable contribution solicited by a staff member;
  • Entertainment that is lavish or that takes place in a location inconsistent with Geckoboard's values; and
  • Entertainment or gifts offered in close proximity to a significant business decision involving the Supplier.

If a Geckoboard staff member asks for any of the above, you must report it to suppliers@geckoboard.com .

BE ETHICAL

Never attempt to improperly influence Geckoboard business decisions. Never offer a bribe, kickback, bartering arrangement, change in terms outside of the contractual relationship, or other incentive to a Geckoboard staff member in order to obtain or retain Geckoboard business or preferential treatment.

  • Avoid insider trading. Do not buy or sell the stock of Geckoboard or another company when in possession of information about Geckoboard or another company that is not available to the investing public and that could influence an investor's decision to buy or sell stock.
