Code of Conduct

At Solway Investment Group, our purpose is to shape the future by responsibly harnessing the Earth’s resources. As a private international mining and metals group headquartered in Switzerland, we operate across diverse geographies, from the lush landscapes of Guatemala to the rugged terrains of Ukraine, and North Macedonia. Our focus lies primarily in nickel and copper production, but our purpose extends far beyond extraction. We are architects of sustainable progress, stewards of communities and guardians of the environment.

Our ambition is to set operating standards across our business that not only meet regulatory demands, but also the demands and expectations of our society, customers, and other stakeholders. We want to “do the right things” – deliver materials that are essential for a sustainable economy, and at the same time “do things right” by resourcing them responsibly.

We expect our Management to be fully committed to and to embrace the principles laid out in this Code of Conduct and lead by example. Compliance with our Code of Conduct is a key requirement for all Solway Group employees, contractors and associates working on behalf of Solway Group – every day and without exception.

The principles of this Code are intended to give practical direction. While our underlying policies, standards and procedures will be giving more detailed guidance, the Code of Conduct cannot set out prescriptive rules to cover every possible situation. This means to all of us that we always need to use good judgement, and whenever we are in doubt ask ourselves if our behaviour is truly in line with both the letter and spirit of these principles. We shall never hesitate to ask for advice if we are not sure what the principles of this Code of Conduct mean.

The integrity of our company is decisive for our common success. A violation of the principles stipulated in our Code of Conduct can be unlawful, damage the reputation of our company, or cause serious economic damage. Our business partners and stakeholders measure us based on our behaviour and how we deliver our products and services. Through an exemplary handling of the principles in this Code of Conduct we enable the long-term success of our company and a positive contribution to the future of our society and the planet.
