Business ethics
As any company, nowadays, we are going through challenging times and are repositioning our businesses to move forward and be successful. We will demonstrate our ability to compete, delivering quality transportation and logistics services at competitive prices.
To our credit as an organization and each of our employees, we have not wavered from our commitment to ethics during this difficult time.
Each of our businesses operates in a very competitive environment and we have set high financial and operational performance goals. We all have a responsibility to perform our jobs to the best of our ability. We must also ensure, however, that we, individually and as a company, continue to act in strict conformance with the law, customer requirements, and the highest standards of business ethics and business and financial reporting practices.
We know this is not easy. To help, we have various resources available to provide guidance and make sure we are able to make the right choices.
Since 2015, since its establishment, Marvicon increased every year, both in terms of turnover, as well as a fleet and number of employees. The most important moments in the evolution of the company so far includes the takeover in 2018 of a group companies, which led to growth substantial increase in revenue, fleet and number of employees and the replacement in 2020 of the latter Euro 5 trucks with Euro trucks 6, so now the whole fleet is composed from Euro 6 trucks. MARVICON fleet a gradually increased, following a development plan well developed, thus satisfying the requirements customers.
We must continue to make sure our everyday actions support and demonstrate the highest level of business standards and conduct. Anything less is unacceptable.
Remember, it requires a team effort to achieve and maintain our objective of ethical excellence. We believe that complying with the information contained in this Brochure as well as the training we receive and the guidance provided by our supervisors and others will allow us to say, with pride, that we are part of an organization that will succeed the right way.

1.OUR RELATIONSHIP WITH OUR CUSTOMERS AND COMPETITORS
We will always strive to meet or exceed customer expectations for quality, price and delivery. We will build long lasting relationships with our customers based on mutual trust, integrity and honesty. We are sensitive to customer schedules, quality and costs and recognize the vital importance of supporting our customers’ needs.
We Provide Quality Services
We strive to provide services that meet or exceed our customers’ expectations for quality, integrity, and reliability.
We Comply With Antitrust Laws
We support vigorous but fair and honest competition. Romania and European Union have enacted laws – usually referred to as antitrust, monopoly or competition laws – designed to preserve free and open competition.
We must make business decisions using independent judgment and avoid even the appearance of agreeing with a competitor to limit the way we compete with one another.
We must make factual and truthful statements about our services and those of our competitors, whether in advertising or in speaking with customers or others.
MARVICON will compete solely on the merits of transportastion and logistics services. We will succeed by satisfying our customers’ needs, not by unlawfully limiting a competitor's opportunities.
As a rule, antitrust laws not only cover commercial behavior in a particular country, but also apply to any commercial behavior even outside that country if it has a significant impact on competition.
Antitrust laws generally prohibit entering into any kind of agreement or understanding (even oral or informal) with a competitor regarding:
- Prices, costs, profits, margins, inventories, or terms and conditions of sale
- Territories
- Limitations on products or services
- Production facilities, volume, or capacity
- Market share
- Customer or supplier allocation or selection
- Distribution methods
- Any action that affects, limits, or restricts competition
- Bidding arrangements
- Resale price maintenance schemes
- Restricting services offered or tying the purchase of services to other purchases
- Agreements to boycott, i.e. a refusal to supply or to accept delivery
Prohibited Activities
The following basic restrictions apply to our ability to gather competitive intelligence:
• We do not accept, disclose or use competitive information that we know or have reason to believe was disclosed to us in breach of a confidentiality agreement between a third party and one of our competitors.
• We do not disclose or use, without consulting Company legal counsel, competitive information that is, or we believe should have been, marked “proprietary” or “confidential.”
• We do not engage in any illegal or illicit activity to obtain competitive information.

Consistent with local laws, we reserve the right to monitor the use of information technology resources and to take appropriate disciplinary actions in cases of misuse.
We Protect Our Confidential Information And Trade Secrets
