Asset Bank, built by Bright Interactive Ltd, is committed to achieving the highest standards of quality, honesty, openness and accountability in our everyday activities.
We also believe that we have a moral obligation to take account of the impact of our activities on the local, national and global economy – the environment and the community in which we operate.
We aim to reduce any adverse effects our activities may have to a minimum and to make a positive contribution where reasonably possible.
We will compete robustly but fairly in our market, provide value for money and high quality service for our customers, make prompt payment to our suppliers, and will not offer or accept inducements to further our business. We do not work with companies that are not compatible with our values, for example, those that operate in arms manufacture, pornography or tobacco sectors.
We will not work with any organisations that:
1. Cause, enable or promote violence.
Exceptions: Regulated contact sports.
Examples: Armies; Arms manufacturers.
2. Knowingly cause physical harm to humans, unless their target customers and end users are exclusively consenting adults and they do not have a history of misleading marketing.
Exceptions: Food industry.
Examples: Tobacco industry.
3. Produce or promote pornographic content.
4. Are a major contributor to, or denier of, climate change.
Awarding of contracts will be made only on the basis of their value for money, quality, ability to deliver the product/service required and taking account of the business ethics and corporate values of the business tendering for the contract.
All contracts must be arranged through our standard procurement process and authorised in writing by a director.
We have an anti-bribery policy and adhere to the 2010 Bribery Act, which came into force on 1 July 2011.
As an employer, we will act fairly and responsibly in all matters relating to our employees and workers, create a supportive, honest and open environment for employees to work in, and treat all individuals with dignity and respect.
We seek to eliminate prejudice, discrimination and victimisation, to provide a safe and healthy environment in which to work, provide opportunities for personal growth and professional development where possible, and support all employees to enable them to be fulfilled in their working lives.
Our recruitment process is fair, equitable and non-discriminatory. Appointments are made solely on ability to perform the duties required.
We have an environmental policy and take environmental issues and sustainability seriously and consider both issues as much as possible in our everyday business decisions. We ensure we comply with all European law applicable and keep abreast with changes in legislation.
