Introduction
BuitenSpeel
is an enthusiastic and creative team with one common passion: to provide the
ultimate entertainment for the young and older in playing outdoors. BuitenSpeel
is as specialist in providing in contemporary outdoor toys and games, presented
in a cool fashion, its products safe and easy to use at various locations: at
home, in the garden or out on the streets, but also during school and youth
care, at campsites, for various recreation purposes. BuitenSpeel is aware of
its responsibility towards society and therefore wishes not just to comply with
applicable laws and regulations, but also take account of values that are
generally accepted within society. We have set out our values in this Code of
Conduct, which applies to BuitenSpeel and, although we are a relative small
company, each individual staff member.
BuitenSpeel
General

its responsibility to society in general and the economic interests of its
shareholders, staff, customers and business relations who form part of society.
General rules of conduct for staff

staff should:
• refrain
from any action or failure to act that infringes the integrity and social
position of BuitenSpeel or discredits BuitenSpeel;
• not
maintain any relationship or do business with persons or companies not acting
in a socially acceptable manner;
• behave
themselves in an irreproachable, honest, honourable and fair manner, taking
into account applicable laws and regulations and generally accepted standards
of decorum;

conflict whatsoever between business and private interests.
BuitenSpeel
recognises that the involvement of staff in social activities can make a
valuable contribution to its reputation and to the development of its staff and
therefore wishes to encourage such involvement.
The customer
BuitenSpeel
seeks to develop a long-term and profitable relationship with its customers.This
means, among other things, that products should offer value for money and meet
customers’ legitimate wishes concerning usefulness, safety and the environment.
Other priorities are service, flexibility and innovative products. BuitenSpeel
is prepared to enter into an open dialogue with its customers about complaints,
should these arise, and will deal with these to the best of its ability, in
accordance with the principles of reasonableness and fairness
Business relations
BuitenSpeel
selects its business relations based on both their commercial and their moral
characteristics, as well as the question of whether their way of doing business
is compatible with our own values. BuitenSpeel in any case does not wish to do
business with persons or companies whose activities cannot be considered
socially acceptable and/or that:
• do not
comply with the applicable laws and regulations of the country concerned;
• do not
remunerate their staff adequately and/or exploit their staff or employ them in
an unsafe or unhealthy work environment;
• use child
labour, to be assessed in accordance with the rules applying in the country
concerned and taking into account the Convention of the International Labour
Organization on the minimum age for admission to employment;
•
discriminate against staff on account of their individual orientation, physical
characteristics or beliefs;
• take
insufficient action to minimise their impact on the environment.
BuitenSpeel
staff are expected to assess new and existing relationships on the basis of
these considerations and determine whether a relationship will be entered into
or continued.
International purchasing activities

is established in Netherlands, but make their purchases mainly from Asia. This
means that BuitenSpeel staff can be faced with widely diverging and changing
economic circumstances and social and political views. BuitenSpeel’s aim is not
to engage in any activities that might be harmful to the economic and social
development of the countries concerned, insofar as compatible with its
corporate role

one of the core principles. Competition should take place in a commercial, but
also fair and ethical manner. BuitenSpeel staff are forbidden to unjustly discredit
a competitor or to attempt to harm a competitor through unlawful means. BuitenSpeel
will not abuse an economic position of power, if any, and not make any
arrangements, secret or otherwise, with other market players that conflict with
applicable competition laws.
