Commitment to Integrity and Fair Conduct

Integrity is the cornerstone of SecollaPR's corporate philosophy. All business dealings must be conducted in a fair, transparent, and honest manner. We expect all employees and representatives to act responsibly and in accordance with applicable laws, industry standards, and internal policies. We strictly prohibit bribery, extortion, embezzlement, or any other form of corruption. No SecollaPR employee may offer, promise, give, or authorize any financial or other advantage to a public official, client, supplier, or third party with the intent of securing improper business benefits. Similarly, no individual may solicit or accept a bribe or improper payment in any form. All interactions with government officials, regulators, and external parties must comply with the U.S. Foreign Corrupt Practices Act (FCPA), the UK Bribery Act, and other applicable anti-corruption and anti-fraud laws worldwide.

We maintain robust internal controls to ensure adherence to legal requirements and internal ethical standards. Employees are expected to understand and follow both the letter and the spirit of the law. Ignorance of the law or company policy is not an acceptable justification for non-compliance. SecollaPR cooperates fully with lawful requests from regulatory authorities and is committed to maintaining transparency in its operations and reporting practices.

Conflict of Interest

Employees and representatives must avoid situations where personal, financial, or other interests could conflict with the interests of SecollaPR or influence their professional judgment. A conflict of interest arises when an individual's private interests interfere or appear to interfere with their responsibilities to the company. All potential conflicts must be promptly disclosed to management or the Compliance Office. Employees must not use company property, information, or position for personal gain or to benefit relatives, friends, or associates.

Confidentiality and Data Protection

Gifts, Hospitality, and Business Courtesies

Exchanging modest gifts or hospitality may be acceptable as part of normal business practice, provided that such gestures are lawful, transparent, and not intended to influence a business decision improperly. Any gift, entertainment, or hospitality that could be perceived as an inducement must be refused or declared. Employees should consult the Compliance Office before offering or accepting anything of material value to ensure adherence to anti-bribery regulations and internal guidelines.

SECOLLAPR ACCESSIBILITY POLICY

Effective Date: 29th October, 2020

SecollaPR and its affiliated agencies are committed to ensuring that all individuals, including persons with disabilities, have equal access to our websites, digital platforms, communications, and employment opportunities. Accessibility is a core part of our mission to maintain inclusivity, fairness, and respect for all users, clients, and candidates globally. This Accessibility Policy outlines our approach to maintaining and improving accessibility across all SecollaPR digital and communication environments, and reflects our ongoing efforts to comply with international standards and local accessibility requirements in every jurisdiction in which we operate.

Commitment to Accessibility

SecollaPR believes that every individual should have equal access to information, opportunities, and services regardless of ability or technology. We are dedicated to providing an inclusive experience that enables users with disabilities to navigate, understand, and interact with our websites and materials effectively. Our commitment extends beyond compliance; it is embedded in our company culture and values. Accessibility considerations are integrated into our website design, digital strategy, and internal operations to ensure that all users — including those using assistive technologies — can access our platforms with independence and confidence.

Accessibility Standards and Framework

SecollaPR's websites and digital platforms are designed and maintained in alignment with globally recognized standards for accessibility, including the Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG) 2.1, at the AA level, as published by the World Wide Web Consortium (W3C). These standards guide our efforts to make our content perceivable, operable, understandable, and robust for all users. We also aim to ensure compliance with applicable accessibility laws and frameworks in each country where we operate. This includes, but is not limited to, the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) in the United States, the Equality Act 2010 in the United Kingdom, the Disability Discrimination Act (DDA) in Australia, the Accessibility for Ontarians with Disabilities Act (AODA) where relevant, the European Accessibility Act, and local standards applicable in China, France, the Netherlands, Nigeria, and South Africa.

Design and Development Practices

Accessibility is incorporated into the core of our digital development lifecycle. Our design and engineering teams follow best practices to ensure usability across a broad range of devices, operating systems, and assistive technologies. This includes ensuring compatibility with screen readers, keyboard navigation, text-to-speech software, and high-contrast visual modes. We also use clear heading structures, alt-text for images, descriptive link labels, and sufficient color contrast ratios to enhance readability and comprehension. We regularly review and update our web templates, multimedia content, and digital communications to meet or exceed accessibility standards. All new features, updates, and third-party integrations are evaluated for compliance prior to deployment.

Ongoing Monitoring and Improvement

Accessibility is not a one-time goal but a continuous process of enhancement and accountability. SecollaPR conducts periodic audits, testing, and quality assurance checks to identify and correct accessibility issues as technology evolves. These evaluations are performed using a combination of automated tools, manual testing, and user feedback from individuals with disabilities. Internal training is also provided to our developers, designers, and content creators to ensure that accessibility remains an active and ongoing priority across all departments. When accessibility issues are identified, SecollaPR takes prompt corrective action to ensure compliance and to enhance the user experience for all visitors.

Digital Content and Communication

SecollaPR strives to ensure that all digital communications including reports, press releases, videos, forms, and downloadable materials, are accessible to the widest possible audience. Where content cannot be made fully accessible, alternative accessible formats or support services are made available upon request. We encourage employees, clients, and partners to adopt similar accessibility practices in collaborative work and shared digital content, ensuring that accessibility principles are upheld throughout all communications related to our brand.

Employment and Recruitment Accessibility

SecollaPR is an equal opportunity employer that values diversity and inclusion. We are committed to ensuring accessibility throughout the recruitment process. Individuals with disabilities who require reasonable accommodations during application, assessment, or interview stages may request assistance by contacting our HR or recruitment teams. We provide accessible communication channels and work to ensure that all candidates can participate fully and fairly in our hiring process, consistent with applicable employment and anti-discrimination laws in each country.

Training and Awareness

SecollaPR provides ongoing education and training to employees responsible for content creation, digital product design, and web management. This training emphasizes accessibility principles, inclusive communication practices, and awareness of barriers faced by individuals with disabilities. Through internal initiatives, we aim to foster a culture of inclusivity and understanding, where accessibility is viewed as an integral part of good design, not an afterthought.

Third-Party Platforms and Integrations

Some SecollaPR websites or services may include third-party tools, plugins, or content that are not fully controlled by SecollaPR. While we strive to partner with vendors and technology providers that share our commitment to accessibility, we cannot guarantee the compliance of external systems or services. We encourage third-party providers to adopt WCAG 2.1 or equivalent standards, and we regularly review partnerships to ensure that accessibility expectations are met wherever feasible.

Policy Review and Updates

This Accessibility Policy is reviewed on a regular basis to reflect changes in technology, best practices, and legal requirements across all jurisdictions in which SecollaPR operates. Updated versions will be published on our websites and will indicate the new effective date. By continuing to use our websites or digital services after updates are posted, you acknowledge that you have read and understood the revised policy.

Commitment to Continuous Progress

SecollaPR recognizes that achieving full accessibility is an ongoing journey requiring collaboration, innovation, and accountability. We remain committed to advancing accessibility not only as a compliance requirement but as a reflection of our global values of respect, inclusion, and corporate responsibility. Our goal is to ensure that every user, regardless of ability, can access, engage with, and benefit from the full range of information and services that SecollaPR provides.
