Our reputation for high standards of business conduct and integrity is one of our greatest assets, as it enables us to continue to provide effective services.

The Spherico Group does not condone questionable or criminal conduct by employees or others. Our reputation can be severely damaged, and our mission jeopardised, if even one employee violates the law.

Failure to report observed or known instances of wrongful activity or criminal conduct may be grounds for sanctions, ranging from reprimand to termination. Spherico expects all employees, agents and vendors to conform to the highest ethical standards and to avoid even the appearance of wrongful conduct.
