Ethical Standards

LEADING THE FIGHT AGAINST CORRUPTION

Isaac’s Moving and Storage is determined to lead the moving industry in taking a firm stand against bribery and corruption. We will protect the best interests of the industry, our affiliates and our customers.

Isaac’s Moving and Storage has signed and is guided by the Charter’s provisions and is inclusive of all employees (permanent, fixed-term or temporary) as well as any associated third party service providers.
The Charter will be integrated into FAIM and the procedural and audit requirements will form part of the FAIM Implementation Manual and the Pre-Audit Assessment.

WHAT IS BRIBERY?

Bribery is the offering, promising, giving, accepting or soliciting of an advantage as an inducement for action. It is illegal, and it is a breach of trust.
A bribe is an inducement or reward offered, promised or provided in order to gain a commercial, contractual, regulatory or personal advantage.

ZERO TOLERANCE POLICY

Corruption, bribery or attempted bribery is unacceptable. This applies both for offering or accepting a bribe. Any form of bribery is a fundamental violation of core values of conducting business to the highest legal, moral and ethical standards.
International law requires companies, including Isaac’s Moving and Storage, to have rigorous, pro-active measures in place to detect and prevent corrupt practices.

CHARTER STATEMENT

Isaac’s Moving and Storage commit to legal and ethical behavior, and to refrain from any business practices that will harm the interests of our company, other affiliates, clients, or the international moving industry. Isaac’s Moving and Storage will take steps to ensure they are fully informed of applicable regulations and will monitor their employees and business partners to ensure full and continual compliance.

LEGAL COMPLIANCE

Isaac’s Moving and Storage will ensure that they are aware of all applicable laws countering bribery and corruption in all the jurisdictions in which they operate, and that they will obey and uphold those laws.
The laws that apply to particular international business activities include those of the countries in which the activities occur as well as others that – like the US Foreign Corrupt Practices Act (FCPA) and the UK Bribery Act 2010 – govern the international operations of national companies and citizens in respect of their conduct both at home and abroad.
We must consistently ensure that we are aware of, and are complying with, all applicable laws.

LEADING THE FIGHT AGAINST CARTELS

Isaac’s Moving and Storage supports the adoption of Anti-Trust compliance programs by its Affiliates. In
this connection, Isaac’s Moving and Storage is determined to support the fight against cartels, which
restrict competition among suppliers to the detriment of customers.

BACKGROUND

Isaac’s Moving and Storage highly values membership in FIDI, and to ensure that value continue, Isaac’s
Moving and Storage pledge to abide by the highest ethical standards and to free and fair competition.
Isaac’s Moving and Storage agree to sign and be guided by the provisions of the Anti-Trust Charter. The
Anti-Trust Charter covers our employees (whether permanent, fixedterm or temporary) and any
associated third parties providing services to or on behalf of the Isaac’s Moving and Storage.
The Anti-Trust Charter will be integrated into FAIM. The procedural and audit requirements will form
part of the FAIM Implementation Manual and the Pre-Audit assessment.

WHAT IS A CARTEL?

A cartel is an agreement, concerted practice or conspiracy among competitors to fix prices, submit
collusive tenders, divide or share markets and, more generally, restrict competition.
A cartel is regarded as the most egregious violation of Anti-Trust laws in most jurisdictions, which may
lead to the imposition of significant fines as well as, in certain jurisdictions, criminal penalties.

ISAAC’S MOVING AND STORAGE WILL NOT TOLERATE CARTEL CONDUCT

Isaac’s Moving and Storage respects the Anti-Trust laws and regulations in the countries in which it
operates and requires that its Affiliates do the same. Involvement in a cartel is unacceptable. It is against
Isaac’s Moving and Storage’s core values of competing freely and fairly, based on the added value of its
products and services.
The laws and regulations that sanction cartel conduct are in place in most jurisdictions. These laws and
regulations are designed to promote free and fair competition and to protect consumers. Anti-Trust
compliance programs are to detect and prevent cartels.
