Full Policy

At Liminal Shift, a trading name of Cordis Video Ltd, we are committed to operating with honesty, integrity, and respect. This Code of Business Principles reflects our core values and sets the standards for ethical conduct that all employees, contractors, freelancers, and partners must adhere to when working with us.

1. Fairness and Respect

We are dedicated to fostering an inclusive and respectful environment. Discrimination on any grounds protected by UK law (e.g., age, gender, race) is not tolerated. Beyond compliance, we strive to ensure that all interactions, whether with employees, contractors, or clients, are conducted with fairness and respect.

2. Avoidance of Conflicts of Interest

All team members and partners must disclose any potential conflicts of interest that could influence their professional judgment or activities on behalf of Liminal Shift or its clients.

  • Gifts from clients are capped at £100 and must not create a conflict of interest.
  • Gifts from employees or contractors to the company are not permitted to ensure unbiased professional relationships.

3. Protection of Personal Information

We handle minimal personal data in our operations, primarily for invoicing and contact purposes. Any personal data collected is protected under UK data protection laws, and we do not sell or distribute this information. When client requirements necessitate sharing employee data (e.g., for health and safety purposes), it will only be done with explicit consent.

4. Protection of Confidential Information and Insider Trading

Client information is treated as confidential regardless of whether the client specifies this requirement. Employees and contractors must not use client information for personal gain or share it with third parties. Liminal Shift does not engage in trading shares of client companies.

5. Bribery and Corruption

We maintain a strict zero-tolerance policy towards bribery and corruption. No bribes or unethical incentives are offered, paid, or accepted under any circumstances.

6. Giving of Gifts

Liminal Shift does not provide gifts to clients. However, we allocate an annual charitable budget (£500) to support client-led events, such as fundraisers or marathons. Contributions are limited to £100 per event and must not influence business decisions.

7. Records and Reporting

We ensure all financial and business records comply with UK law and are accurate and transparent. Chartered accountants oversee all financial activities to maintain compliance and integrity.

8. Health, Safety, and Environment

We take full responsibility for health, safety, and environmental impact across all operations. Comprehensive procedures ensure the well-being of employees, contractors, and clients. Liminal Shift is also committed to minimising its environmental footprint by implementing sustainable practices wherever possible.

Conclusion

This Code of Business Principles reflects Liminal Shift’s commitment to ethical and professional conduct. By adhering to these principles, we aim to build trust, maintain long-term relationships, and uphold the highest standards in all aspects of our work.
