ANTI-CORRUPTION POLICY
Global Helicopter Service GmbH is a German based international aviation operator, approved by EASA specialising in a wide range of commercial helicopter services primarily based on Bell 412/212. As our main business activities are abroad, we are regularly faced with business practices which do not correspond to the GHS commitment to ensure that we conduct business in accordance with highest professional and ethical standards.
In our daily operations we are frequently confronted with unfair and corrupt practices. Avoiding and preventing these corrupt practices now and in the future it is essential to ensure the protection of the general business climate as well as GHS’s credibility in the eyes of our customers. Adherence to good governance creates an environment where corruption struggles to flourish in so doing protecting sustainable economic development, ethical values and justice, the negative effect on society and the rule of law. GHS are committed to strong business values and ethical behavior thereby ensuring the competitive advantages of transparency, a cleaner corporate image, more trustworthy business relationships, lower costs and no exposure to lawsuits.
The law alone is not enough to end corruption and this GHS ANTI CORRUPTION POLICY will guide our company to avoid and counteract corruption and bribery. We support the concept that every company has to implement its own anti-corruption regulations reinforce good governance and avoid corrupt practices within its own structure to prevent the immediate and direct costs to the company and the broader commercial effects of corruption on the market sector.
