Code of Conduct

Summary of Contents

This document, hereinafter referred to as “the Code”, is a guideline for exceptional performance. It is intended to communicate the Go Logistics employee credo, encompassing core operating principles.

GO Logistics Inc., hereinafter referred to as “Go Logistics” or “the Company”, its Employees, hereinafter referred to as “GO Logistics Personnel” or ”We”, its affiliates or subsidiaries, and others performing work for GO Logistics or on its behalf, hereinafter referred to as “Partners”, are expected to act lawfully, honestly, ethically, and in the best interests of the Company while performing their roles as outlined in their respective Employment Agreement, hereinafter referred to as “Duties”.

Code Guidelines

If We are uncertain whether our conduct or the conduct of other GO Logistics Personnel complies with this document, hereinafter referred to as “the Code”, We will contact a supervisor, Manager, or member of the Human Resources department for clarification.

The Code applies to all GO Logistics Personnel, including management, independent operators acting on behalf of GO Logistics, and contingent workers (e.g. agency workers, contractors and consultants) and others working on GO Logistics’ behalf. The Code is subject to change and may be amended, supplemented or superseded by one or more separate policies.

If any part of the Code conflicts with local laws or regulations, only the sections of the Code permitted by applicable laws and regulations will apply. Any sections that specifically apply to the governing jurisdiction will take precedence to the extent they conflict with the Code.

I. Accountability

We will be accountable to our Partners and one another at all times.

Beyond just doing our job, accountability means being reliable and doing what we say we’ll do. Total accountability includes an obligation to make things better, to pursue excellence and to do things that further the goals of the Company, while remaining responsible for our actions and those of the teams we manage.

II. Respect

We will treat our Partners and colleagues with decency and respect.

This principle is rooted in Go Logistics’ core value of treating others precisely as We would like to be treated. This empathetic approach will guide all communication, both internally and externally. Decency and respect should be evident in each interaction to establish a high corporate standard for service delivery.

III. Professionalism

We will treat our Partners and one another in a professional manner.

This will apply to all regardless of race, nationality, religion, gender, age, ability, marital status, or sexual preference. This encompasses the use of respectful tone, language, and focused attention in the performance of our Duties.

We will refrain from unprofessional or harassing behaviour, including, but not limited to the following:

  • Making physical contact when such contact is unwelcomed, unexpected, or unwanted;
  • Using abusive or inappropriate language, gestures, or images; or,
  • Making any romantic advances regardless of provocation

IV. Confidentiality

We will protect all Company information and practices.

Remaining confidential will govern our actions throughout the performance of our Duties in accordance with the Employment Agreement.

We will assume that all information we have access to in the furtherance of our Duties is strictly confidential and not for dissemination to any third party unless where expressly requested by the Company.

V. Conflict of Interest

We will avoid situations that could compromise the Company.

Specifically, this refers to situations where personal interests may directly or indirectly conflict with Company responsibilities. All conduct will be in an ethical manner, ensuring that we respectfully remove ourselves, the Company, or other Go Logistics Personnel from such conflict wherever possible. Such situations would include circumstances where our motives could reasonably be questioned, or conflicted in a manner that could compromise objectivity.

As such, We will never:

  • Attempt to entice a public official to enact, defeat, or violate any law or regulation;
  • Provide gifts, meals or entertainment that could be construed as an offer in exchange for benefits;
  • Accept gifts, meals or entertainment in exchange for special treatment of any person or entity;
  • Provide services for a competitor, supplier, or client in any capacity; or,
  • Engage in a personal relationship with a supervisor or subordinate

If We find ourselves or discover other Go Logistics Personnel in a situation that involves any such conflict, we will immediately notify management or the Human Resources department.

VI. Equipment & Resources

We will display proper judgment and restraint with equipment and resources.

With access to a variety of resources supplied by the Company, it is imperative that we manage them efficiently. Physical resources such as; cars, vans, trucks, phones, in addition to intangible assets such as; pricing schedules, software, or data, are supplied by the Company to aid in the performance of our Duties. We will apply good judgment in how we use these resources. This includes refraining from instances materially similar to, or otherwise summarized below:

  • Making personal calls from phones provided by the Company, except when essential or approved;
  • Using office equipment, services or supplies for personal purposes; or,
  • Using scheduled work time, or Company resources, facilities or other assets for charitable or political activities

VII. Integrity

We will conduct ourselves with sincerity and trustworthiness at all times.

This applies to our interpersonal communications and external interactions on behalf of the Company. It is important that we display honesty and integrity at all times in order to maintain the proper image for the Company in keeping with our values.

The Company shall respect and maintain high regard for the personal property of GO Logistics Personnel and expects the same in return regarding all assets, including the assets of our Partners.
