IPPFA’s Code of Business Conduct and Ethics (“Code”) IPPFA is committed to applying the highest standards of integrity in all decisions and activities. Every year, each of our employees must confirm that they have complied with the Code. The Code provides standards for ethical behavior when representing the Company and when dealing with customers, investors, employees, field representatives, external suppliers, competitors, government authorities and the public.

Whistle Blowing Policy:

All our activities must be able to withstand close scrutiny. IPPFA’s policy on whistle blowing is enshrined in the Code. Concerns on unethical, unprofessional, illegal, fraudulent or other questionable behaviour may be reported, anonymously or not, without fear of retaliation. The Company absolutely prohibits retaliation of any kind for good faith reports of illegal or unethical behaviour.
