Compliance & Ethics

Alta Resources strives to create a compliant and ethical workplace – the responsibility and right of every one of our employees. Alta is committed to an environment where our company and employees follow all applicable and appropriate laws, regulations, standards and ethical practices.

Alta has established, and continually works to maintain, policies, procedures and an overall culture, to help ensure a consistent philosophy of compliance and ethical behavior is observed at all times.

This is evident in the Guiding Principles and Strategic Mandates we use as the foundation of every decision we make.

Alta has a Corporate Culture based on our Guiding Principles. This Culture helps drive performance as it creates a work environment conducive to respect and collaboration. It is an ever-present philosophy at all Alta’s locations, and it permeates from the top down. Alta Resources is committed to human rights and a proper labor environment, helping our employees stay engaged and achieve improved performance as a result. Alta’s compliance program includes:

1. Organizational implementation of compliance policies, standards and procedures.
2. The assignment of high-level personnel to oversee compliance.
3. Due care in avoiding delegation to individuals whom the organization knew, or should have known, had a propensity to engage in illegal activities.
4. Communication of standards and procedures through training programs and employee awareness.
5. Establishing a reporting system and publicizing it so allegations of employee misconduct can be reported without fear of retaliation.
6. Appropriate and equitable discipline of individuals responsible for the failure to detect or report an offense.
7. Developing appropriate responses to offenses by taking all reasonable steps to respond appropriately and to prevent further similar offenses, including any modification of programs.
