CONFLICT OF INTEREST POLICY
CUF Workwear & Uniforms (Ireland) Limited, it's directors and staff are committed to acting with integrity, transparency, and impartiality in all client engagements.
Our ethos demands that the client’s best interests always come first.
A conflict of interest (actual or perceived) arises when personal interests interfere, or appear to interfere, with an employee's ability to act objectively and solely in the best interest of our clients or the company.
Policy & Best Practice Guidelines
All employees must proactively manage their activities, interests, and relationships to avoid conflicts and prevent attempts to gain undue advantage from their role.
Zero Tolerance for Undue Benefit:
Employees are strictly prohibited from soliciting, accepting, or channelling any form of undue advantage in connection with products, services, or agreements between our company and clients. This includes, but is not limited to:
- Fees and Commissions: Receiving direct payments or finder’s fees from third parties involved in client transactions without explicit company approval and client disclosure.
- Kickbacks: Accepting illicit payments for steering business toward specific vendors or partners.
- Non-Monetary Benefits: Accepting lavish gifts, entertainment, or personal benefits that could be perceived as influencing professional judgment. Modest, infrequent business hospitality may be acceptable with management approval.
Arrangements to Avoid Conflict:
- Prioritize Company & Client Interests: Employees must remain loyal and guided solely by the interests of the Company and its clients in all professional capacities.
- Proactive Avoidance: Do not engage, directly or indirectly, in any activity that could place you in a position of conflict of interest.
- Mandatory Disclosure: If a potential conflict arises, despite preventative efforts, the employee must immediately disclose the situation to their manager or the Compliance Officer for review and approval.
- Impartial Judgment: Employees must avoid any private interests that might lead them to prefer personal gain over the company’s or client's interests, or that might affect their professional judgment and loyalty.
- Transparency of External Activities: Any secondary employment, investments in client/vendor organizations, or outside business activities must be fully independent and disclosed to the Company for review and approval.
Enforcement
The Company will take appropriate disciplinary and remedial measures—up to and including immediate termination of employment and potential legal action—if non-compliant behaviour or attempts to gain undue advantage are discovered.
