Our business must be judged by the highest standards of ethical behavior. The message is simple and clear: diligent observance of the laws and regulations is a requirement from which there can be no exception. The same is true about observance of Company policies and practices. However, rules can’t guarantee ethical conduct: only people can. Therefore, the purpose of this program is as follows:
- To affirm in a comprehensive statement the ethical standards required of all Company employees.
- To encourage all employees to put the applicable ethical standards into daily practice.
It is the intent of Western Air & Power Ltd. (“Company”) to have all employees conduct themselves in ways that demonstrate uncompromising ethical standards in all of their dealings with customers, suppliers, governments, the public, and each other. In other words, the integrity of the Company rests on the integrity of its employees.
Western Air & Power Ltd. covers the Alberta market with field sales representatives, inside sales / warehouse personnel and front office accounting / support staff. Our vision is to incorporate “People, Products, Solutions” into a prosperous and growing company in which we share common goals, are proud of our achievements and provide superior service to our customers.
