At Teira, people come first.
Our strength comes from the competence, commitment, and integrity of our people. We are a decentralized organization built on strong local expertise, and we deliberately place decision-making close to our customers and operations — because that is where knowledge, context, and responsibility come together.
But decentralization only works when it is matched with accountability. Every decision we make must meet the same high standards for safety, cybersecurity, ethics, sustainability, compliance, and performance — regardless of role, country, or seniority.
This Code of Conduct defines those standards. It reflects the kind of company we want to build together and the principles we expect each other to live by every day — in how we work with colleagues, serve our customers, and contribute to society.
I expect every leader at Teira to lead by example, to act when something is wrong, and to create an environment where people feel respected, supported, and safe to speak up.
And I expect every employee to take ownership of their decisions and actions — and to raise concerns when something does not feel right. Speaking up is not only encouraged at Teira; it is part of our responsibility to each other.
Doing the right thing — even when it is difficult — will always have my full support.
Together, we will build a company we can be proud of.

At Teira, speaking up is an important part of living our values and protecting our people, customers, and company.
We encourage every employee to raise concerns if something appears unsafe, unethical, illegal, or inconsistent with this Code of Conduct. Addressing concerns early helps prevent problems and strengthens our culture of integrity and accountability.
Concerns can be raised through several channels, including:
We understand that speaking up can sometimes feel difficult. At Teira, we are committed to creating an environment where people feel safe to raise concerns, ask questions, or report issues.
Teira strictly prohibits retaliation against anyone who raises a concern or reports misconduct in good faith. Retaliation itself is considered a serious violation of this Code.
If you are unsure whether something is appropriate, ask questions and seek guidance. When in doubt, speaking up is always the right thing to do.
Silence can allow problems to grow. Speaking up helps protect each other and the company.
Leaders must act as role models, ensure teams understand this Code, encourage open dialogue and address concerns fairly and promptly.
Compliance with this Code of Conduct is mandatory. By following these principles we protect our people, strengthen trust with customers and partners and safeguard Teira’s reputation.
