Chemtive handles hazardous materials, restricted goods and other people’s money. The code is short on purpose: eight commitments, one decision test, and a route to raise anything that does not look right.
Signed by every employee on joining and re-signed each January. The full policy is listed with the documents below.
No misrepresentation of specification, origin, purity, availability or lead time, whether in a quotation, a certificate or a conversation.
No bribes and no facilitation payments, even where they are locally common. Refusing one is always the right call, whatever the order is worth.
Sanctions, dual-use and end-use screening at onboarding, order entry and renewal. If the end use is unclear, the shipment waits.
Anyone can stop a batch, a loading or a shipment on a safety concern, and no one is ever asked to justify caution afterwards.
Customer formulations, supplier terms and personal data are handled on a need-to-know basis and never used commercially elsewhere.
No harassment, no discrimination, no retaliation. Hiring, pay and promotion decisions are made on evidence against a written profile.
Batch records, certificates, transport documents and accounts reflect what actually happened, without later adjustment.
Personal, family or financial interests in a customer, supplier or competitor are declared in writing as they arise, not when asked.
If the answer to any of the four is no, or you are not sure, stop and ask. Asking is never a career risk here; proceeding quietly is.
Retaliation against anyone who raises a concern in good faith is itself a dismissible breach of this code.
The fastest route for most concerns, and where we expect you to start when it is safe to do so.
A named, direct contact for anything involving a manager or a commercial relationship.
Independently operated, available in local languages, anonymous reporting supported.
Post or email to the compliance committee. It is open to customers and suppliers as well as employees.
Receipt confirmed and a case reference issued to you, whichever route you used.
Initial assessment and assignment of an investigator with no reporting line to the people involved.
Investigation closed or an interim update given to you in writing.
Outcome, corrective action and any policy change recorded in the register and reported quarterly to the board.
Breaches are handled consistently regardless of grade, revenue impact or how long someone has been here. Deliberate breaches of the anti-corruption, trade control or safety commitments are treated as gross misconduct, and we report to the relevant authority where the law requires it. Supplier breaches trigger suspension pending investigation and, where substantiated, termination of the agreement.
Culture, teams, the hiring process and our equal opportunity commitment.
Focus areas, representation data, networks and accommodations.
Learning model, academy tracks and the dual career ladder.
Filter live roles by function, location and contract type.
Timings, visas, referrals, data handling and reapplying.
Published bands, and one code that applies to every role.
