Ethical Standard

Ethical Standard

The growth of SWCS attributes not only to its dedicated services and experienced professionals, but also through upholding and promoting our core values – to build trust and rapport. With this in mind, we have developed a series of policies regarding anti-money laundering, data protection and code of conducts to lay a strong foundation on this matter.

AML Policy

We handle our clients’ data with due care and every reasonable effort will be made to protect those important information from corruption, compromise or loss. At SWCS, we also place high respect on the data privacy of our staff, all the personal data will be collected from our staff in a lawful and fair way, only for the purposes directly related to our business activities.

Code of Conduct

We pride ourselves for being trusted by our clients and we value the soft power to attract and sustain such a relationship. No good business can be built without a strong foundation of ethical thinking; to support our business we have created the Code of Conduct (the “Code”) for our people as the spine of their workplace ethics. The Code outlines and defines the expectations for every employee at SWCS when facing ethical and compliance issues. It shows our commitment to the client and the pursuit of a higher level of professional conduct.
