At Endeavour, we operate with a code of conduct. These set of rules guide and ensure that the company, its suppliers, and partners adhere to principles that reduce and avoid negative impacts on people and the environment. The CoC requires suppliers and business partners to establish company policies and management systems to ensure compliance with the CoC.
Endeavour's CoC is based on international declarations and conventions such as the Universal Declaration of Human Rights, the International Covenant on Civil and Political Rights, the International Covenant on Economic, Social and Cultural Rights, and the core conventions of the International Labour Organization (ILO). We operate based on the Forest Stewardship Council's (FSC) code of conduct. Endeavour's CoC sets minimum standards and addresses companies' responsibility to respect internationally recognized human rights.
Endeavour declares its commitment to maintaining the CoC and ensuring that our operations and business practices align with the principles of the CoC.

We are committed to complying with the laws of the applicable legal system and continuously strive to improve industry best practices and international standards, including the UN's 17 Sustainable Development Goals.

This ensures that we not only meet legal obligations but also uphold ethical and moral standards in our operations.

2 Zero tolerance for corruption and bribery.
2.1 Is a fundamental principle guiding our ethical behavior in both personal and professional settings. It is imperative not to tolerate or engage in any form of corruption, extortion, fraud, or bribery. This includes any payment or other benefit provided by an official or others with the purpose of influencing decision-making contrary to the law. Upholding these principles ensures fair and just decision-making processes and promotes integrity and transparency in all interactions. It is important for Endeavour to maintain this zero tolerance to preserve trust, credibility, and a strong ethical foundation in our operations.
