We promote ethical codes
In May 2006 the General Assembly of the Confederation of Private Employers Lewiatan adopted the Ethical Code of Employers – Members of Lewiatan. It is a declaration of ethical values that, in PKPP Lewiatan’s opinion, should be respected while running business activity.
The General Assembly called to Lewiatan’s members to draw up their own sector-specific or company-specific codes of conduct based on the Ethical Code. To make this job easer, we present below some of the codes of conduct applied by certain member companies and unions. All members, who have their own codes, are encouraged to publish them at this Site. The others, please feel free to use the good examples.
