Our company has been operating since 1977. Its form and operating structure has changed over the years, and is constantly enriched with new activities. In all these years however, my family’s values have remained stable with respect to the company’s sustainable growth; always guided for the better service of our customers as well as creating a working environment governed by honest and humane relationships between us.
It is my family’s common belief for the dissemination of stable values to all involved parties and primarily that these values to be constantly reflected through the relationships and contacts of the company’s workforce with all involved customers, suppliers and government officials. This is why I have undertaken the initiative to establish and record the values that I want all of us to believe in, in this Code of Ethics.
I believe that the following text depicts everything my family has been doing all these years, through its business activity and it is important that each of you reads, understands and fully complies with our Code of Ethics. It is your responsibility to defend the adherence to the Code but also to report any situation which you reasonably believe is contrary to our Code of Ethics.
The reputation of MOBIAK SA lies in the hands of each of us. I thank you in advance for your constant dedication to our common values and your ethical leadership, which is crucial to the continuation of our business success.

MOBIAK SA has established this Code of Ethics aiming at the Code guiding our daily business interactions, reflecting our standard for our correct conduct and our corporate values. We believe that our business activities are supported on directness, responsibility and compliance. The way in which we achieve our business results is equally important to their achievement. The Code of Ethics of MOBIAK SA applies to all the people of MOBIAK SA; including the Supervisors, Executives and all Company employees as well as its subsidiaries around the world. Our partners and suppliers are subject to these requirements, since the adherence to the Code is a requirement for the continuation of their collaboration with us.
The MOBIAK SA Code of Ethics is structured to reflect the expectations of our stakeholders. The stakeholders are individuals with a constant interest in our company. They are the customers, the suppliers and the markets – the customers who are satisfied and feel that we understand them, the suppliers who appreciate that we are demanding but also fair, and the markets, in which we play an important role. The shareholders – who expect our organization to maximize the value of their investment. The employees – who work with enthusiasm and pride since they feel challenged but also appreciated. The communities – in which our role is practical and positive.
Our management is determined to ensure that we are the best in our category with respect to compliance in all the markets in which we operate. Each employee is responsible to demonstrate integrity and leadership with his / her compliance to the provisions of the Code of Ethics, the Company policies and all applicable laws.
Are the standards for managers higher?
Individuals who hold the position of manager or supervisor, depending on their position at the company and their respective responsibilities, are expected:
– To support and to promote a work environment where ethical conduct is recognized, appreciated and is an example to be imitated.
– To ensure that their subordinates and their teams understand and follow the code and have the resources to do this.
– To support the employees who in good faith pose questions on issues of ethics.
– To monitor and consistently impose the standards defined in the code.
– To give a good example and to encourage others to do the same.
This Code does not replace your responsibility for using correct judgment and using common sense; we are demonstrating our commitment for a culture that promotes the highest possible standards of ethics.
