Harassment and bullying

All employees should treat each other with courtesy, dignity and respect. Axelent managers and supervisors at all levels must be alert to any form of harassment in the workplace and take whatever measures are necessary to prevent such behavior.
Child labour

Axelent will neither tolerate child labour in its operations nor accept products from suppliers who use child labour directly or indirectly through partnerships with subcontractors or other business associates in connection with the manufacture of their products.

Temping agencies and apprenticeship schemes must not be used to circumvent the Group’s obligations to its staff under applicable laws, regulations and statutes regarding social security.
