Strict adherence to all compliance policies and procedures are a must in your business. They are for us too. Around the world, our people are committed to adhering to the GAC Group’s high standards of corporate compliance to deliver the best possible service to you without compromising a thing.
In everything we do, we are guided by the GAC Code of Ethics. It’s more than just corporate window dressing. It is a guide for action, not just words. A true code of practice.
It covers how GAC people conduct themselves when dealing with each other, customers, suppliers and authorities. It emphasises respect for the law and respect for people. Our determination is to treat customers, suppliers and colleagues honestly, fairly and with dignity.
The GAC Anti-Corruption and Bribery Policy lies at the heart of our commitment to conduct all our business in an honest and ethical manner. We take a zero-tolerance approach to bribery and corruption, and aim to ensure that all our staff always act professionally, fairly and with integrity in all our business dealings and relationships wherever we operate.

Four interlinked elements- Health, safety, security and the environment, create the best working space for GAC’s people and all who receive our services, step on to our premises, board our vessels or sit in our vehicles. Our commitment to health and safety is based on constant vigilance and attention to details. Steady feedback from our customers’ Safety Officers and regulatory authorities ensures our approach to health, safety, security and the environment remains clear, resolute and purposeful. Training, particularly in the offshore sector, is constant and rigorous.
All organisations face the possibility of unknowingly harbouring illegal or unethical conduct. The aim of the GAC Whistleblowing Policy is to encourage staff to report any suspected wrongdoing as soon as possible in the knowledge that their concerns will be taken seriously and investigated whilst, at the same time, respecting their confidentiality.
Modern slavery is a crime and a violation of fundamental human rights. It takes various forms, such as slavery, servitude, forced and compulsory labour and human trafficking, all of which have the deprivation of a person's liberty by another in order to exploit them for personal or commercial gain in common. GAC Group has a zero-tolerance approach to all forms of modern slavery and are committed to acting ethically and with integrity in all our business dealings and relationships. We seek to implement and enforce effective systems and controls to ensure modern slavery is not taking place anywhere in our own business operations.
