Rules of ethical cooperation

Please be advised that T-Mobile Polska implements a Code of Conduct. This also applies to relationships with Suppliers. Specific points related to this area are presented below.
 

PERSONAL DATA

 

T-Mobile Polska employees may not disclose to the suppliers any personal information of other employees, customers, or business partners of our Company.
 

Information about T-Mobile Polska customers and the personal data of the T-Mobile Polska employees, our business partners and agents are subject to the protection of personal data. Such information cannot be disclosed to persons outside of T-Mobile Polska, including friends, family, relatives, personal or business acquaintances, customers, suppliers or others, without specific permission.

FINANCIAL SHARES

 

One of the principles of our Code of Conduct is to prohibit our employees from forming business contacts and entering into agreements on behalf of T-Mobile Polska in the cases where a member(s) of that employee’s family would be a party to the agreement.

Employees cannot submit recommendations or make decisions regarding T-Mobile Polska’s initiation of collaboration with any individual or entity in which the employee, a close member of the employee’s family or other person close to the employee has a financial interest, has entered into a commercial agreement or is under a contract of employment.

Employees, close members of their families or otherwise close persons cannot possess financial interests in T-Mobile Polska suppliers, customers, or competitors without the knowledge of T-Mobile Polska. (1.2)
 

CONFLICTING INTERESTS

 

T-Mobile Polska staff have a permanent obligation to inform the Company of any conflicts of interest that may arise between their employment at T-Mobile Polska and a possible connection with a Supplier.

Disclosure of potential conflicts of interest before making a commitment on behalf of T-Mobile Polska regarding the establishment of a business relationship or employment is the key to maintaining full compliance with the provisions of the Code of Conduct. (1.3)

CONTACT WITH SUPPLIERS

Our employees are required to treat suppliers according to the principles of honesty and in a manner that does not limit competitiveness. They are strictly prohibited from offering any material benefits to or receiving any material benefits from Suppliers.

[...] The Company, its employees and agents shall treat customers, business partners and suppliers fairly, without acting against the rules of free competition and limiting the free market economy. [...]

It is unacceptable to make payments or transfer or receive other material benefits in any form, directly or indirectly, in order to obtain or maintain business, or to obtain a favourable decision for T-Mobile Polska. (1.4)

INVITATIONS, EVENTS

 

T-Mobile Polska treats invitations to parties, events and trips as benefits resulting from the position occupied by the employee, and as such they cannot be accepted without the knowledge and approval of a supervisor.

Prior written consent from a supervisor is required if a T-Mobile Polska employee is offered a free trip by customers, suppliers or bidders. (1.6)
 

DELEGATING POWERS

 

We kindly ask T-Mobile Polska Contractors to verify, before signing a contract, if the person representing T-Mobile Polska has appropriate permissions to conclude the contract.

[...] Employees cannot sign documents on behalf of the Company or bind the Company with contracts unless they are authorized to do so. [...] (1.7)

T-Mobile Polska ensures high ethical standards in the workplace, requiring all employees to:

[...] Treat with respect every employee, co-worker and representative of customers, suppliers and contractors by showing them attention, courtesy and respecting their personal dignity.

[...] Treat all employees, colleagues, customers, suppliers and contractors equally. (1.8)
