Tagra Biotechnologies' Code of Ethics: five core values and rules of conduct for employees, customers, suppliers, competitors and the environment.

What Is the Code of Ethics?

The ethical code is an identity card of values and norms that Tagra formulated to ensure high ethical conduct. The ethical code defines rules of conduct and actions, in a clear and precise manner, designed to guide and instruct all company employees in relation to the desired behavior in various working situations.

The code is based on the company's five core values, and relates to all areas of activity in the company, integrating the network of relationships within the company, with customers, suppliers and the environment.

The code reflects the types of significant dilemmas that occur on a daily basis during our work life and provides a tool to aid employees and managers in coping with dilemmas that require decision making, in order to maintain the high ethical standards that we all share.

The code is an internal document for Tagra and is not a means for acquiring rights or remedy for any person or other party. The code is not part of a business agreement or of the company's contracts and will not change the employment status of anyone.

The code is not a substitute for laws, procedures and work instructions or personal judgment, but rather is to be used as an additional stratum of principles and moral values.

The Purpose of the Code

  • To define a system of unified and common standards for all workers, contributing to a feeling of belonging and to personal and organizational growth.

  • To contribute to fostering a culture based on integrity, fairness and social responsibility.

  • To aid in setting standards of higher ethical behavior.

  • To bring awareness to the ethical risks at work.

  • To instruct how to cope with ethical dilemmas.

We believe that each and every one of us sets a personal example in the application of high ethical rules, which is the cornerstone of Tagra. If you have any suspicion of ethical rules being broken you must report to the ethics commissioner, Ronen Roshkin, by telephone: 04-865-6454 or by email: Ronenr@tagra.com.
