To The People of Premiaflex Plastics Ltd
Premiaflex Plastics Ltd has always aspired to create a workplace where talented individuals collaborate to deliver extraordinary results for our clients. Our business principles capture this vision and our code of business conduct and ethics outline the behaviors we expect of everyone at KRL in order to achieve it. As part of the business standards committee’s review, the company has revisited our code to ensure it reflects the highest legal and ethical standards in our industry. In tandem with our business principles, the code articulates KRL commitment to integrity and honesty in everything we do. While no single document can address every situation, the updated code provides clear guidance on critical issues. When facing a situation not covered the code, we expect our people to exercise good judgment and especially to seek guidance in resolving potential issues.
It has often been said that one person can cause more harm to KRL from a single bad decision than good to the company over the course of a career. As stewards of the company’s legacy and drivers of its future success, our actions each day have a profound impact. No financial incentive or opportunity-regardless of the bottom line-justifies a departure from our values.In fact, loosening our ethical standards in pursuit of business is a betrayal of our duty to clients and colleagues and compromises everything we aspire to as a company.
I ask each of you to review this code of business principles and join me in making a personal commitment to using it to guide your work. In doing so, you protect the trust our clients place in us and uphold the moral and ethical principles that define Premiaflex Plastics Ltd.
Sincerely,
Dr. F.H Ansary
Managing Director, AB
Preamble to Code of Business Principles:
At Premiaflex Plastics Ltd we believe the best way to build and to maintain trust is to conduct every element of our business according to the highest standard of integrity.
Our ability to do so rests on the behavior of those who work here, from consultants to employees to our management team to CEO. To that end, we select our people based not just on their skills, accomplishments and potential, but also on their principles and values. A commitment to integrity and ethical behavior is a critical factor in our decisions regarding professional advancement and compensation.
The Company maintains a Code of Business Principles described by compendium of internal policies, to inform and guide our people in their roles. We recognize, however, that a formal Code or policy cannot cover every situation. In a fast-paced and complex industry and an inherently innovative business, it is impossible to predict the various different unique circumstances our people will face during their careers. As such, the policies outlined in this Code should be viewed as the baseline of expected behavior at the Company.
While ethical behavior requires us to comply fully with all laws and regulations,”compliance” with the law is the minimum standard to which we hold ourselves. Those who work with us honor not just the letter of existing laws, but the spirit that under pins and informs them. We recognize that over time what is considered acceptable today may be viewed differently tomorrow. Thus, we don’t look to prevailing “market practices” as an indication of appropriate behavior. We base our decisions on legal and regulatory rules, our code, our business and our values. For the people of Premiaflex Plastics Ltd ethical behavior is inseparable from integrity and good judgment.
The scope of our business means that delivering outstanding client service may at times generate real or perceived conflicts for the company. We are committed to addressing such conflicts with all appropriate disclosure and transparency. If an activity generates a conflict that cannot be addressed, we would prefer to lose the business that to abandon our principles. Every person at Premiaflex Plastics Ltd is an owner to our heritage or client service and our reputation as an ethical company. Our success has been and will continue to be dependent on the trust that our clients Place in us. Everything we do-every piece of advice we give, every transaction in which we take part-must serve to strengthen that trust.
Code of Business Principles:
Application of the Code

Our people play a critical role in safeguarding the integrity of our business and escalating any existing or potential breach of that integrity. To enable you to full fill this responsibility, the Company strictly prohibits retaliation against anyone who reports in good faith a possible violation of the Code, no matter whom the report involves. Suppliers, employees or whoever can report directly to the Top Management for any kind of breaches of policy.
In addition, you may have certain rights in connection with reporting legal, compliance, ethical or other issues to regulatory, administrative or other governmental or self-regulatory bodies. Nothing in this Code is intended to limit those rights or any protections that may be applicable in connection with reporting potential violations.
Violation of the Code:
We take this Code and your obligations under it very seriously and will take any disciplinary or prevention action deemed appropriate to address existing or potential violations of the Code, up to and including termination of your employment. Violations of the Code may also constitute violations of law, which may result in criminal or civil penalties for you and the Company.
Compliance with laws, Rules and Regulations:

Details rules regarding applicable laws are included in the Compendium.
Personal Conflict of Interest:
A Personal conflict of Interest occurs when your private interest improperly interferes with the interests of the company. Actions or relationships that create personal conflicts of interests are prohibited, unless approved by the company.
It is important that we carefully consider whether any of our activities or relationships, including business or volunteer positions outside the Company, could cause a conflict (or the appearance of a conflict) with the interests of the company. Even if an activity seems unrelated to our role at the Company, we may be required to obtain pre-approval before engaging in it. The Compendium provides detailed guidance on when and how pre-approval is obtained.
Additionally, personal gain an advantage must never take precedence over our obligations to the company. We must never use or attempt to use our position at company to obtain any improper personal benefit (including loans or guarantees of obligations or gifts, from any person or entity) for ourselves, family member(s) or any other individual or group. If we are aware of a transaction or relationship that could reasonably be expected to give rise to a conflict of interest or perceived conflict of interest, we should discuss the matter promptly with an appropriate ethics contact. When in doubt, raise the question for appropriate consideration.
Fair and Ethical Competition:
We rely on our people to uphold our culture of integrity in all that we do. Our values demand that we deal fairly with our clients, service providers, suppliers, competitors and each other. No one at the Company may seek competitive advantage through illegal or unethical business practices. Taking unfair advantage of anyone through manipulation, concealment, abuse of privileged information, misrepresentation of material facts or any unfair dealing practice is violation of this code. We notify our customer if quality, safety, code of breaches or misconduct occur either in its own business or those of its suppliers could have an adverse impact. We are committed to remain fully fair and transparent in all condition.

The only exception is when disclosure is authorized or legally mandated.
