Our core employee compliance courses are:

  • Code of Conduct
  • Anti-corruption and Anti-bribery
  • Competition Law/Anti-trust
  • Export Controls and Trade Sanctions
  • Modern Slavery
  • Data Protection
  • Gifts and Hospitality

Regional mandatory in-person induction training

All regional mandatory in-person induction training is coordinated by our legal compliance team based in the UK. Weekly new starter induction sessions are held, alternating between our geographical regions to ensure all employees understand what is expected of them.

Internal business compliance assessments

Our legal compliance team conducts several compliance-related assessments each year alongside our existing rigorous external and internal assurance audits. The objective is to verify adherence to policies and procedures and help identify opportunities to strengthen our compliance framework.

Whistleblowing procedure

Employees with concerns about illegal, fraudulent, or unethical actions can report them to any manager or our legal compliance, HR or business assurance teams. Alternatively, they can use our confidential reporting hotline EthicsPoint, available 24/7. Where local laws allow, the service can be used anonymously. It is operated by an independent third party using local call numbers and online access is also available for reporting by third-party stakeholders.

Political Contributions

We prohibit the use of company funds or resources to make political contributions intended to improperly influence political candidates, parties, campaign committees, or government officials.

Any political contribution made on behalf of Innospec must receive prior written approval from the Chief Executive Officer and the General Counsel/Chief Compliance Officer. Employees, Board members, and third-party representatives may make personal political contributions in their own capacity; however, these must not be reimbursed by the company, directly or indirectly.
