Communication and Training on the Code of Conduct

To ensure that all employees are well informed about our Code of Conduct and the principles of ethical business practices, BOSKA organizes an annual Lunch & Learn session on ethics and our anti-corruption program. During this session, we discuss real-life examples, answer questions, and strengthen our shared commitment to integrity across the organization.

Whenever there are substantive updates to the Code of Conduct, this is actively communicated during regular internal events such as the Q-update, Q-Rocks, or the Annual Meeting. The updated version is then shared via our internal channels (such as SharePoint), ensuring everyone has access to the most recent version at all times.
