Ethical policy

 

 

 

1. Purpose and Applicability

This policy outlines BR1GHT’s approach to ethical business conduct and corporate responsibility. As a provider of technology, consulting, and managed services in the areas of governance, risk, and compliance, we understand the importance of working with integrity and transparency—particularly when serving clients in regulated industries such as financial services and the public sector. 

The purpose of this policy is to confirm our commitment to upholding commonly accepted ethical standards in the course of our business activities. While we are a small and agile organisation, we operate in accordance with applicable laws and best practices to the extent reasonable and proportionate to our size and risk exposure. 

This policy applies to all BR1GHT staff, contractors, and partners engaged in the delivery of our services. 

 

2. Ethical Standards and Expectations

We strive to meet the ethical expectations of our clients and society across the following areas: 

2.1 Integrity and Professional Conduct

  • We aim to conduct our business honestly, transparently, and fairly. 
  • We avoid conflicts of interest where possible and manage them appropriately if they arise.
  • We do not engage in or condone bribery, corruption, or fraudulent practices. 

2.2 Respect for People and Human Rights

  • We are committed to treating people with respect, dignity, and fairness. 
  • We comply with applicable labour laws and reject all forms of forced labour, child labour, or discrimination. 
  • We foster a working environment that values diversity and inclusion. 

2.3 Confidentiality and Data Protection

  • We are mindful of our clients’ confidentiality requirements and comply with relevant data protection regulations, including the EU GDPR. 
  • We maintain proportionate controls to protect information we handle as part of our engagements. 

2.4 Environmental Awareness

  • We recognise the importance of environmental responsibility and act with awareness of our environmental impact. 
  • As a digital-first business, we keep our footprint limited through remote collaboration and efficient use of resources. 

2.5 Compliance with Law and Fair Practices

  • We comply with the laws and regulations applicable to our business and the jurisdictions in which we operate. 
  • We compete fairly and do not engage in anti-competitive behaviour or misuse of insider information

 

3. Proportional Governance and Oversight

Ethical conduct is embedded in BR1GHT’s way of working and is overseen by our leadership team. We maintain clear lines of responsibility and encourage a culture where integrity and accountability are part of daily decision-making. 

Our internal processes are designed to support ethical behaviour in a manner that is appropriate to the scale and nature of our business. These include: 

  • Leadership oversight: Senior management takes active responsibility for setting expectations and guiding the organisation’s ethical standards. 
  • Staff awareness: Team members are made aware of our values and professional conduct expectations as part of onboarding and ongoing collaboration. 
  • Issue handling: Concerns or ethical questions can be raised directly with management and are addressed promptly and with discretion. 
  • Client alignment: Where clients have specific requirements relating to ethics or responsible business conduct, we review these and work collaboratively to ensure a clear mutual understanding. 

Through regular dialogue, thoughtful governance, and a focus on professionalism, we ensure that our ethical standards remain aligned with both internal expectations and those of our clients. 

 

4. Continuous Development and Client Alignment

We review this policy periodically to reflect changes in legal requirements, client expectations, or business context. Where clients have specific ethical standards as part of their vendor requirements, we assess these and aim to align with them where feasible.
