GAEL is committed to ensuring that all business is conducted in accordance with good business practice. To this end, GAEL conducts business in an ethical and equitable manner and in a way that safeguards the interests of all stakeholders to minimise and manage all actual or potential conflict of interest (“COI”).

OBJECTIVES

  • Provide guidance on the behaviours expected under GAEL standards

  • Promote transparency and to avoid business-related COI

  • Ensure fairness in the interests of employees and GAEL

  • To document the process for the disclosure, approval and review of activities that may amount to actual, potential or perceived COI
