By maintaining high standards of transparency and accountability, we build trust with our clients, partners and stakeholders and support strong, sustainable business relationships.
Approved Communication Platforms
We are committed to using secure, reliable and professional communication platforms across all areas of our business. Our website, company-issued devices, Microsoft Teams and official company email systems (@gms-limited.com) are our primary channels for business communication, supporting internal and external collaboration, business updates and corporate announcements. Our company data, documents and records are stored exclusively on approved company systems and locations, with access restricted to authorised individuals. All company information is managed in accordance with applicable regulatory standards for security, confidentiality, data protection and responsible information management. The use of alternative communication platforms is restricted and permitted only where there is a legitimate business requirement, including where specifically requested or required by a customer.
Anti-Bribery and Anti-Corruption
We have a strict zero-tolerance policy against bribery, corruption, fraud and any other unethical conduct. We operate with complete honesty and integrity, strictly adhering to all relevant anti-corruption laws and regulations. To safeguard our operations, our robust frameworks actively detect, mitigate and prevent risks such as conflicts of interest, financial irregularities and the abuse of authority. We foster an environment of accountability through continuous education and oversight, ensuring that ethical considerations drive every choice we make. All individuals and organisations representing or working with GMS, including employees, contractors, suppliers and business partners are expected to uphold these principles and demonstrate the highest standards of professional and ethical conduct.
