Ethics & Compliance

At ALJAZEEL, responsible business conduct is fundamental to how we work. We are committed to acting with integrity, transparency and accountability across our operations, commercial relationships and project delivery. We expect our employees, representatives and business partners to uphold these principles and comply with applicable laws, contractual obligations and relevant client requirements.

We prohibit bribery, facilitation payments, kickbacks and improper benefits, whether offered, requested, given or received directly or through a third party. Business decisions must be based on legitimate commercial considerations, without improper influence.

Employees and representatives are expected to disclose actual, potential or perceived conflicts of interest. Personal relationships, financial interests or outside activities must not compromise independent judgment or the interests of ALJAZEEL and its clients.

We compete fairly and conduct commercial activities honestly. Proposals, qualifications and project information must be accurate and must not misrepresent our capabilities, experience or business relationships. We prohibit collusion and the improper use of confidential information.

We are committed to treating people with dignity and respect. We prohibit forced labour, child labour, harassment and unlawful discrimination, and support fair treatment, safe working conditions and respect for workers’ rights in accordance with applicable requirements.

Responsible conduct includes protecting people, communities and the environment. We expect personnel and business partners to follow applicable HSE requirements, report hazards and incidents promptly, and avoid compromising safety or environmental protection for commercial or schedule pressures.

Gifts and hospitality must be modest, reasonable, transparent and permitted by applicable rules. They must never be offered or accepted to influence a decision improperly or create an obligation. Cash, cash equivalents and benefits intended to secure an improper advantage are prohibited.

We expect subcontractors, suppliers and other parties acting on our behalf to demonstrate equivalent standards of integrity, safety and responsible conduct. Commercial relationships should be based on competence, quality, reliability and compliance with applicable requirements.

Business and project records must accurately reflect the activities and transactions they describe. We are committed to protecting confidential company, client and business-partner information and using it only for legitimate, authorized purposes.

Employees, clients, suppliers and other stakeholders may report suspected misconduct or concerns relating to ALJAZEEL’s business activities by emailing to ethics@aljazeel.net. Please provide sufficient information to help us assess the concern, including relevant dates, activities and supporting details where available. Reports will be handled discreetly, with access restricted to authorized personnel who need the information to assess and address the matter, subject to applicable legal requirements. ALJAZEEL does not tolerate retaliation against anyone who raises a concern in good faith or cooperates with a related review.

We are committed to complying with applicable Iraqi laws, relevant anti-corruption requirements, trade restrictions and sanctions, and our contractual obligations. Where requirements are unclear or potentially conflicting, appropriate guidance must be sought before proceeding.

Ethical conduct is a shared responsibility. Everyone acting on behalf of ALJAZEEL is expected to exercise sound judgment, raise concerns and cooperate with appropriate reviews. Identified breaches should be addressed through proportionate corrective action in accordance with applicable law and contractual requirements.
