The Fargreen Code of Conduct
Fargreen farmers © Fargreen.,JSC
The Fargreen Code of Conduct is one of the ways we put Fargreen’s core values into practice. It’s built around the recognition that everything we do in connection with our work at Fargreen will be, and should be, measured against the highest possible standards of ethical business conduct. We set the bar that high for our ultimate aspiration: to go far in fulfilling our mission of building communities whose foundations are built on a nurturing environment where all of our Fargreeners or our community seeds can have an equal chance of growing.
This is also a reflection of our commitment to the highest standards which help us hire great people, build great communities and great products and attract loyal partners. Respect for our communities, for the opportunity, and for each other are foundational to our success, and are something we need to support every day.
So please do read the Code and Fargreen’s values, and follow both in spirit and letter, always bearing in mind that each of us has a personal responsibility to incorporate, and to encourage other Fargreener to incorporate, the principles of the Code and values into our work. And if you have a question or ever think that one of your fellow Fargreeners or the company as a whole may be falling short of our commitment, don’t be silent. We want and need to hear from you.
Who Must Follow Our Code? We expect all of our employees, leaders and Board members to know and follow the Code. This also includes volunteers, interns, and consultants that are currently working with us. Failure to do so can result in disciplinary action, including termination of employment and partnership.
What If I Have a Code-Related Question or Concern? If you have a question or concern, don’t just sit there. You can contact your manager, your Human Resources representative, or get in touch directly with our CEO. Finally, if you believe a violation of law has occurred, you can always raise that with your direct supervisor or our CEO for support.
