Our values

INTEGRITY IS THE FOUNDATION OF EVERYTHING WE DO

Esto es una constante. Las personas con las que trabajamos, vivimos y servimos pueden confiar en nosotros. Alineamos nuestras acciones con nuestras palabras y cumplimos lo que prometemos. Desarrollamos y fortalecemos nuestra reputación a través de la confianza. No influimos de manera inapropiada en otros, ni permitimos que ellos nos influyan de manera inapropiada. Somos respetuosos y nos comportamos de manera abierta y honesta.

En pocas palabras, la reputación de la empresa refleja el desempeño ético de quienes trabajamos aquí.

WE ARE HONEST AND ACT WITH INTEGRITY

Aspiramos al más alto nivel de integridad y comportamiento ético. Decimos la verdad. Sólo prometemos lo que creemos que podemos cumplir. Luchamos por cumplir con nuestros compromisos. Los accionistas, clientes, distribuidores, concesionarios y proveedores de nuestra compañía, así como las personas con las que hacemos negocios y nuestros compañeros de trabajo, deben poder confiar en lo que decimos y creer que siempre cumpliremos nuestra palabra.

WE AVOID AND MANAGE PROBLEMS AND POTENTIAL CONFLICTS OF INTEREST

No debemos participar en actividades que creen, o parezcan crear, conflictos entre nuestros intereses personales y los intereses de la empresa. Estas situaciones surgen cuando algún interés personal o familiar, u otra relación, dificulta que una persona represente a la compañía de manera plena y justa.

Los conflictos de intereses pueden surgir en cualquier parte de las operaciones de INMÍNER ING. Los conflictos de intereses más graves suelen surgir cuando un empleado, tiene la autoridad para gastar el dinero de la compañía, tiene la autoridad para contratar o involucrar a una persona externa a la compañía, o tiene información que puede ser valiosa para personas externas a la compañía.

Un conflicto de intereses, o la apariencia de un conflicto de intereses, suele surgir cuando se ofrece un obsequio, un favor o una invitación a un empleado. Aunque algunas de estas actividades son parte de una relación normal de negocios, no aceptamos obsequios, regalos o invitaciones que puedan tener un valor mayor del que podamos retribuir, o que nos obligue o parezca obligarnos a actuar en forma contraria a la ley, los intereses comerciales de INMÍNER ING. o las prácticas éticas comerciales de INMÍNER ING.

WE COMPETE FAIRLY

INMÍNER ING. cree que la competencia justa es fundamental para la libre empresa. Cumplimos con las leyes de competencia en todas las áreas de trabajo en las que tenemos presencia.

Aseguramos que todo asiento contable o financiero refleje con precisión aquello que describe la información de respaldo. Esperamos que los empleados que participan en la creación, el procesamiento o el registro de dicha información sean personalmente responsables de su integridad.

WE ARE FAIR, HONEST AND OPEN IN OUR COMMUNICATIONS

Cualquier persona que tenga información “sustancial” privilegiada de INMÍNER ING. deberá evitar utilizarla para obtener ganancias personales o para proporcionarla a otros. Esperamos que todos los empleados, sus familias, y otros cuya relación con INMÍNER ING. les brinde acceso a dicha información, cumplan con estos principios.

WE REFUSE TO MAKE INAPPROPRIATE PAYMENTS
