Zurich Compliance & Ethics Charter

Our Commitment

This charter defines the principles that guide how we inspect, audit, report, and interact with clients, suppliers, and partners.

These principles apply to all employees, inspectors, auditors, and representatives acting on behalf of Zurich Inspection, in all regions and assignments.

Independence and Objectivity

Our inspections and audits are independent.
Findings and conclusions are based solely on verified facts, direct observations, and applicable requirements.

Commercial pressure, personal interests, or external influence must never affect our work. Any conflict of interest, real or perceived, must be declared and managed immediately.

We report what we observe.
Our reports reflect the actual conditions on site, without adjustment to meet expectations or convenience.

If information is incomplete or unavailable, this is stated clearly. Assumptions and unverified statements are avoided.

Compliance With Laws and Standards

Zurich Inspection complies with applicable laws and regulations in all countries where it operates, including anti-corruption, labor, health and safety, and data protection requirements.

Our work follows relevant international, national, and industry standards applicable to inspection, technical verification, and factory audits.

Anti-Bribery and Anti-Corruption

Zurich Inspection has zero tolerance for bribery, corruption, or improper influence.

No gifts, benefits, payments, or advantages may be offered, requested, or accepted if they could affect, or appear to affect, independence or judgment.

Confidentiality and Data Protection

All technical, commercial, and operational information obtained during assignments is treated as confidential.

Information is used only for the purpose defined by the client engagement and is not shared without authorization, except where required by law.

Professional Conduct

We conduct our work with respect for people, workplaces, and local environments.

Clear communication, factual discussion, and professional behavior are expected at all times. Discrimination, harassment, or inappropriate conduct is not tolerated.

Health, Safety, and Responsibility

The safety of our personnel and those we interact with is a priority.

Zurich Inspection complies with site safety rules and reports unsafe conditions observed within the scope of its work. We support responsible practices where quality, safety, or environmental risks are identified.

Reporting Concerns

Any concern related to compliance, ethics, or integrity may be reported without fear of retaliation.

Good-faith reporting is encouraged and handled confidentially.

Accountability

All individuals representing Zurich Inspection are responsible for understanding and applying this charter.

Failure to comply may result in corrective or disciplinary action.

Closing Statement

This Compliance & Ethics Charter reflects Zurich Inspection’s commitment to credible, independent, and responsible inspection services.

Integrity is not an option in our work. It is the condition that makes our work meaningful.
