Corporate Citizenship

Scope

At TFGI Government & Infrastructure Company, corporate citizenship is about doing the right thing. It is our contribution to sustainable development which seeks to integrate economic, social and environmental factors to ensure a better quality of life for present and future generations. Doing the right thing has always been a fundamental part of our every day business practice and is reflected in our mission - to improve the quality of daily life for the people we serve.

We firmly believe in supporting the community where we live and work and encourage our employees to participate in various philanthropic and community activities. Our employees regularly support numerous national, state and local charities and events each year.  In addition, many employees serve on various community boards. The issues that affect our clients, customers, employees, suppliers, the environment and other stakeholders also have an impact on the success of our business. As a responsible corporate citizen, we aim to consider these issues as part of our everyday business.

Disclosure
We aim to ensure that our employees, managers and directors are confident that they can raise accounting, audit and control matters of genuine concern without fear of reprisals, in the knowledge that they will be taken seriously and that the matters will be investigated appropriately and regarded as confidential.

Diversity and inclusion
We recognize and are committed a leading role in promoting equal opportunities and valuing diversity, equality and inclusion. We are working hard to ensure that people of all backgrounds all have equal access to our business and the services we provide for our customers. We want to ensure that we continue to make progress in developing our workforce so that it better reflects the diverse population we serve.

Environment
We are committed to actively identifying those elements of the business that impact on the environment and, where possible, eliminating or reducing these through the development of management practices and procedures involving systematic planning, operational control, monitoring and review.

Ethics
We are committed to operating all aspects of our business in accordance with uncompromising ethical standards. The TFGI Ethical Principles and Sustainable Development Contract form the framework for our Code of Ethics which promotes honest and ethical conduct.

Health and safety
We are committed to ensuring, so far as is reasonably practicable, that (1) all employees are safeguarded fully in respect of health, safety and welfare whilst at work and all reasonable risks are minimised; (2) members of the public who enter our premises as contractors, employees, or visitors, are not exposed to any health and safety risks during the course of their business; (3) no work is carried out by the company or its contractors that is liable to expose employees, clients or members of the public to hazards to health, unless suitable and sufficient assessments of the risk are made and necessary measures to prevent or control the risk have been introduced. This applies also to the storage and transportation of articles and substances.

Supplier conduct
Our Supplier Code of Conduct sets out TFGI's desire to do business with its suppliers, contractors and partners (collectively referred to as 'suppliers') who conduct their business based on responsible ethical, social and environmental practices. Suppliers are an integral part of our supply chain and it is essential that they share our goals. We expect all of our suppliers to comply with this Code, and we will not knowingly engage with suppliers that do not. The Code is based on the U.N. Global Compact.

Sustainable procurement
We follow the philosophy used throughout the The Fogle Group International, Inc. in supporting the practice of developing long term relationships with suppliers and producers to enable long term growth and planning strategies based on known market demand. TFGI recognises that it is important for the future well-being of the US countryside that communities are supported and able to contribute to our supply chains. A key consideration in our supplier selection is producers who practice and support sustainability within communities that depend upon them, regardless of geographic location.
