Our Shared Respect Charter

Introduction

‍
Imperial Corporate Events pride ourselves on our personal service, managing all aspects of an
event experience while keeping our client’s needs front of mind. We put a significant amount of
trust in our partners, clients, customers, suppliers and contacts to treat our staff with dignity and
respect. Only through this mutual partnership of dignity, trust and respect can the aims of Imperial
Corporate Events be possible.

‍
In recognition of the paramount importance of a respectful, safe, and harassment-free working
environment, we, Imperial Corporate Events, present this Respect Charter.

‍
Our commitment to ethical business practices underlies our belief in the fundamental right of all
individuals to work free from any form of harassment, discrimination, or intimidation. This Respect
Charter outlines our core values, expectations, and actions concerning the conduct of all parties
engaged with our business.

‍

Core Values

Respect

We value all individuals, irrespective of their background, position, or protected
characteristics. This respect extends to our employees, partners, contractors, customers and
clients alike. We strive to promote a culture of mutual respect where everyone is treated with
dignity and their contributions valued.

We commit to ensuring a safe, dignified, and harassment-free working
environment. We believe that safety and dignity are fundamental human rights that should be
protected at all times.

‍
Integrity

fairness in all our transactions and interactions.
Equality and Inclusivity: We are committed to promoting diversity and equality, providing equal
opportunities, and rejecting all forms of discrimination.
Accountability: We accept responsibility for our actions and decisions, and we expect our
partners, clients, customers, suppliers and contacts to do the same.
