Ethics in entrepreneurial activity is an approach of utmost importance for the success and credibility of a company towards customers, suppliers and, more generally, towards the entire social context in which it operates.
Dogma Investigative Agency - Private Investigations and Security - has participated in the examination and drafting of this Code of Ethics. The purpose of the Code is to establish the principles of correctness, loyalty, integrity, and transparency of rights, of the way of operating and managing relations both within and with third parties.
Recipients of the Code of Ethics are all managers, employees and collaborators of the Company, as well as external collaborators. The Code applies to all business activities performed.
Infringing the rules contained in this Code will damage the relationship of trust established with the company and will be subject to the penalties provided. The application of the Code of Ethics is delegated to the Chief Executive Officer or to designated subjects.
The recipients of this Code of Ethics must abide by the following guiding principles:
The company’s aim is to constantly preserve the quality of the relationships it builds with its clients, improving them constantly. Professionalism, skills, availability, correctness and courtesy are the guiding principles that employees are expected to follow while dealings with clients.
All behaviors must respect the confidentiality of all the information obtained during the work, as well as the current legislation on privacy.
All relations with the clients are based on full transparency and fairness, in compliance with the applicable regulations (mainly referred to the processing of personal data), and free from any form of conditioning, both internal and external.
Clients represent the most important assets of the group. Employees and collaborators, in relation to their duties, offer their services by working with professionalism, prudence and common sense.
All clients are equally important within our Company and therefore, beyond their specific needs, must receive an equal care and attention.
The selection of suppliers and the determination of the purchase conditions must be based on an objective evaluation of the quality, of the price of requested goods and services, of the ability to provide and ensure prompt and adequate levels of goods and services for Companies. No supplier must be chosen over another because of personal reasons, favoritism, or benefits other than for the exclusive interest and benefit of the Company.
Human resources are an essential factor for the existence, development and success of any company. For this reason, Dogma Investigative Agency – Private Investigation and Security – protects and promotes human resources’ value, in order to improve and increase the assets and competitiveness of collaborators within the organization of the company.
Dogma offers equal opportunities to all employees on the basis of their professional skills and personal abilities, without prejudice, in terms of religion, race, political, union and sex belief.
Therefore, the company choses, employs, pays and organizes the employees according to their merits and skills.
Work place is not only adequate for our employees’ personal security and health, it enhances mutual collaboration and group spirit by respecting one’s moral personality, without prejudice and threats, illegal conditioning and illicit inconvenience.
Dogma shares the value of loyalty, refraining from behaviors that would go against European and national free competition protection provisions.
In its relation with the Public Administration, the Agency pays special attention to each act, behavior and agreement, in order to have the maximum transparency, traceability, correctness and legality.

In particular, it is not permitted to examine or propose job offers that may advantage employees of the Public Administration in a personal capacity, or solicit or obtain confidential information that could compromise the integrity or reputation of both parties. If the company uses a consultant or a third party to be represented in relations with the Public Administration, the same directives apply to the employees of the company in relation to these subjects and their personnel.
Gifts that may exceed normal commercial practices or courtesy, or gifts that may aim at obtaining favorable treatment in the conduction of any activity related to the Agency are not allowed. In particular, any gifts to public officials or their family members, which might influence their independent judgment or induce them to ensure any sort of advantage, is forbidden.
