Respecting human rights and trading in an ethical and environmentally aware manner are central to the way we conduct our business operations. We regard ethical business practice very seriously and fully expect each employee to uphold our ethical business policy in all areas of our operational model.

TICo strives to act in a socially responsible manner at all times by ensuring the following these key principles are applied and adhered to. These are:

• To respect the economic, social, cultural, political and civil rights of everyone involved in our operations.
• To always comply with all human rights legislation.
• To never to discriminate.
• To never use forced labour.
• To never to use child labour.
• To never tolerate any form of harassment in the workplace.
• To provide the highest level of health and safety in the workplace and create a healthy and safe work environment for each employee.
• To give employees fair remuneration for work carried out.
• To always ensure that TICo working hours and remuneration are fair and comparable to those offered by similar companies.
• To actively educate and train employees and allow for continued personal development.
• To continually provide employees with equal opportunities regardless of their gender, age, marital status, sexual orientation, disability, race, religion or national origin.
• To always continue to treat our suppliers in a fair, just and ethical manner.

We strongly believe that by working with suppliers through a partnership approach we can provide a unified and excellent service to a client leading to long term business prospects for both TICo and our supply partner.

Through active communication and support between TICo and our suppliers we actively achieve our environmental commitment to only buy paper which comes from recycleable resources such as forests where trees, grown for paper, are replaced as and when they are cut down and/or recycled paper.

We actively engage with our suppliers to ensure that the paper we buy comes from 50% from virgin pulp and 50% from recycled sources - though not necessarily at the same time (ie sometimes we buy 100% virgin pulp for clear reproduction of artwork or sometimes we buy 100% recycled for letterhead and envelopes.

We have always and will continue to give a commitment to the development of long-term partnerships with our suppliers so that our business relationships are mutually beneficial and in keeping with our well established ethical and environmental values.
