Code of Conduct
Our vision is to enable all employees and inspire them for their work. We call this: Empower Every Employee. Flip is a mobile platform used by innovative companies that want to reach and engage all employees. No matter where they work - on the shop floor, in the office or on the road. With Flip, we are changing the way people work together - among each other and with each other - because the app gives employees access to everything they need for their daily work.

Foreword
We want to build software that connects people with their work - that’s the mission that drives us every day. Flip is an app on your employees’ smartphones - which means we are aware of our special responsibility to build software that is truly secure and protects private data.
In this Code of Conduct, our behavior code, we have written down what is really important to us and how we ensure that we act ethically and responsibly every day. So that we protect those who help us achieve our mission every day: Our employees, customers, partners and the community in which we work.
To ensure that these are not just meaningless words, but are followed by action, we are committed in this Code of Conduct to comply with the following principles.
Responsibility
We are conscious of and recognize our responsibility to develop secure a trustworthy technology that improves the world of work. In order to achieve these goals and to act in a trustworthy way as a company, everyone is committed to acting according to a uniform, high standard in everything we do and say - without exception. This Code of Conduct defines these Flip standards. Compliance with our Code of Conduct is mandatory. Every employee must read and understand our Code of Conduct, apply its principles, and fulfill all associated expectations.
We are conscious and stand up for others. We all have a responsibility to raise concerns if we become aware of actions that are questionable, illegal or in violation of our Code of Conduct. From time to time, issues may arise where the correct ethical decision is not clear. Report concerns if you see something that does not appear to be in line with our Code of Conduct. We have established an anonymous whistleblowing system.
Diversity, Inclusion and Social Fairness
At Flip, we are committed to treating everyone with dignity and respect. We encourage a culture of diversity, inclusion and social fairness where every employee is respected and valued. We believe that diversity - including different backgrounds, origins, experiences, perspectives, views and skills - promotes innovation and connects the world of work. Constantly valuing inclusion ensures belonging in the workplace and creates equal opportunities (regardless of whether work is performed on-site or remotely).
We are committed to a respectful, professional, and supportive approach to encourage employee engagement & innovation and drive the long-term success of our customers.

At Flip, we respect, support and promote the human rights and dignity of every individual, both in our own business activities and along our value chain.
In doing so, we are compliant with all applicable laws, regulations and guidelines related to human rights. We also expect our customers, partners, and contractors to share our commitment to respecting human rights and not violating them.
We are committed to creating fair working conditions and a safe working environment in which all employees have the opportunity to realize his or her full potential.

Prevention of Discrimination and Harassment

We do not tolerate discrimination in our workplaces, starting with the recruitment process and extending to the development or promotion of our employees. In addition we do not tolerate any physical, verbal or non-verbal forms of abuse, harassment or bullying. This includes unwanted behavior that could be con-sidered offensive, intimidating or humiliating as well as any form of sexual harassment.
In doing so, we are all jointly committed to ensure that our working environment is free from discrimination, harassment, bullying, mobbing or retaliation.
