People Policies.

How we conduct ourselves: ethics, communication norms, and the company's compliance and ESG commitments.

Code of Ethics

Ethical standards

  • Conflict of interest: avoid conflicts that could interfere with judgment; disclose any potential conflicts to management immediately.
  • Confidentiality: maintain the confidentiality of information entrusted by clients, suppliers, and partners, except when authorized or legally obligated to disclose.
  • Protection of assets: protect PerkUp's physical, intellectual, and digital property from loss, damage, misuse, or theft.
  • Fair dealing: deal fairly with clients, suppliers, competitors, and employees — no manipulation, concealment, abuse of privileged information, or misrepresentation.

Operational procedures

  • Compliance with laws: adhere to all applicable laws, regulations, and reporting obligations.
  • Data protection: maintain robust security measures in accordance with relevant data-protection laws.
  • Health and safety: follow safety guidelines and promptly report accidents, injuries, and unsafe conditions.
  • Environmental responsibility: operate sustainably and reduce environmental impact.

Reporting & enforcement

Report ethical violations to a supervisor, HR, or the confidential reporting system. Reports are investigated promptly and confidentially, with no retaliation against reporters. Violations may result in disciplinary action up to and including termination. The policy is reviewed annually and amended as needed.

Slack Communication Policy

Purpose: ensure efficient, transparent, and respectful use of Slack across the organization.

General guidelines

  • All work-related discussions must occur in public channels — this ensures transparency, fosters collaboration, and aids retrieval. Avoid DMs for work topics that benefit from wider input or future reference.
  • Private conversations — personal matters such as benefits and compensation belong in private channels or DMs with the relevant parties (HR, direct supervisors). Respect confidentiality.

Using Slack effectively

  • Use channels for group discussions and threads for specific topics to avoid clutter; label channels clearly (e.g. #proj-X-updates).
  • Pin important messages and use bookmarks to keep track of key references.
  • Use Slack reminders for milestones, meetings, and follow-ups so nothing slips through the cracks.

This policy may change as the organization evolves and as Slack adds features; employees are notified of significant changes.

Compliance & ESG statements

These four statements are company-level commitments, each approved by Thomas Mirmotahari (CEO & President). They are static, board-level policies; expand each for the full text.

Diversity, Equity & Inclusion (DEI) StatementCompliance

PerkUp is committed to a diverse, equitable, and inclusive workplace where all individuals are respected, valued, and given equal opportunities.

Diversity

  • Embrace differences across race, ethnicity, gender, age, religion, sexual orientation, disability, and socio-economic background.
  • Foster an inclusive environment; eliminate biases, stereotypes, and discrimination.

Equity

  • Fair treatment and equal opportunity regardless of background; remove barriers to advancement.
  • Pay equity through regular reviews; reasonable accommodation for employees with disabilities.

Inclusion & accountability

  • Empower every voice; ongoing education on bias and cultural competence; support Employee Resource Groups.
  • Leadership commitment, measurable goals, and transparent reporting on DEI progress.
Environmental, Social & Governance (ESG) ProgramCompliance

PerkUp integrates Environmental, Social, and Governance considerations into decision-making and responsible business conduct.

Environmental

  • Minimize environmental impact; conserve resources, reduce emissions, prevent pollution.
  • Climate-change mitigation, resource management, biodiversity conservation, and supply-chain sustainability.

Social

  • Respect human rights and labor standards; eliminate child and forced labor; ensure fair, safe conditions.
  • Diversity and inclusion, health and safety, community engagement, and stakeholder engagement.

Governance

  • Ethical conduct, board and leadership oversight, ESG-integrated risk management, compliance, and transparent reporting.
Ethical Sourcing PolicyCompliance

PerkUp sources products and materials from suppliers who uphold high ethical standards, respect human rights, and operate responsibly.

Standards we require of suppliers

  • Compliance with all applicable laws (labor, health and safety, environmental, anti-corruption).
  • No forced labor, child labor, or modern slavery; fair wages, hours, and freedom of association.
  • Safe and healthy working conditions; non-discrimination.
  • Environmentally sustainable practices and responsible material sourcing.

How we enforce it

  • Supplier due diligence: audits, site visits, and documentation reviews; supply-chain transparency and traceability.
  • Supplier engagement, training, and performance monitoring; non-compliance can lead to corrective action or termination.
Prevention of Modern SlaveryCompliance

PerkUp is committed to preventing modern slavery across operations and supply chain — forced labor, human trafficking, debt bondage, servitude, child labor, and similar practices.

Commitments

  • Compliance with the Modern Slavery Act and similar legislation; transparency about our efforts.
  • Periodic risk assessment; robust due diligence (screening, auditing, ongoing monitoring) of suppliers and partners.
  • Supplier engagement, employee awareness and training, and whistleblower non-retaliation.

Reporting & enforcement

  • Report suspected violations to a supervisor, manager, HR, or designated channels — anonymously and confidentially.
  • Reports are investigated promptly; violations lead to disciplinary action up to termination, or supplier remediation/termination. Reviewed annually.
