Company Code Of Conduct
The Hi-Tech Seals Code of Conduct outlines expected behaviors for all employees. Hi-Tech Seals will conduct its business fairly, impartially, in an ethical and proper manner, and in full compliance with all applicable laws and regulations. In conducting our business, integrity must underlie all company relationships, including those with customers, suppliers, communities and among employees. The highest standards of ethical business conduct are required of Hi-Tech employees in the performance of their company responsibilities. Employees will not engage in conduct or activity that may raise questions as to the company’s honesty, impartiality, reputation or otherwise cause embarrassment to the company.


Armed conflict and human rights concerns in the Democratic Republic of the Congo, Angola, Burundi, the Central Africa Republic, the Republic of the Congo, Uganda, Sudan (South Sudan), Tanzania, and Zambia have drawn attention to the raw material mining practices within these regions. Related materials include Tantalum, Tin, Gold, and Wolframite (Tungsten).Many companies and nations have taken a stand on the conflict by refusing to use these “conflict minerals”. Recent US legislation, the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act, has banned the use of conflict minerals from being supplied within the United States. Hi-Tech Seals certifies those products supplied by our company are conflict free.

Ethics Reporting
“We CARE. Do you?”
Hi-Tech Seals has revised its Code of Conduct policy to reinforce its zero-tolerance approach taken towards unethical behaviour within its business dealings.
To ensure that business partners and employees observe the highest ethical standard of integrity and honesty, we have implemented CARE. CARE is a reporting mechanism that provides a confidential connection between senior management, employees, vendors and customers to be used in the event that anyone is observed not acting with due skill, care, diligence and/or fairness.
Here at Hi-Tech Seals we encourage ethical conduct in our employees and suppliers. In order to safeguard against unethical behaviour we would like to invite you to help us by reporting any wrong doing or unethical behaviour that you observe. Users can report any number of concerns related to fraud, theft, conflicts of interest, etc. using the CARE program.
