CORPORATE COMPLIANCE

Complex projects require special attention and tracking. Fracht North America offers a variety of technology-driven solutions to facilitate the execution of your cargo. The combination of track and trace tools, shock recorders, and laser measuring devices allows Fracht to provide you with up-to-date visibility, incident reports, and location of your cargo so you are in total control and confident in the transportation of your cargo, every step of the way.

Customs-Trade Partnership Against Terrorism (C-TPAT)

Fracht FWO Inc. has been a C-TPAT member since 2009. C-TPAT seeks to safeguard the world’s vibrant trade industry from terrorists and maintain the economic health of the U.S. and its neighbors. The partnership develops and adopts measures that add security but do not have a detrimental effect on trade. By extending the United States zone of security to the point of origin, the customs trade partnership allows for better risk assessment and targeting, freeing CBP to allocate inspectional resources to more questionable shipments.

C-TPAT members are considered low-risk and are therefore less likely to be examined. The goal of these arrangements is to link the various international industry partnership programs so that together they create a unified and sustainable security network that can assist in securing and facilitating global cargo trade. The partnership establishes clear supply chain security criteria for members that must meet in return provides incentives and benefits, such as expedited processing.

Anti-Bribery

The Owners of Fracht FWO Inc. (the Company) and its Executives expect that all of our officers, employees, and agents will always conduct Company business in accordance with the highest standards of ethical behavior and honesty.

The Company’s continued expansion of operations worldwide provides exciting new business opportunities while at the same time presents new challenges to our commitment to the highest ethical standards.

Among the most significant laws and regulations that govern the Company’s operations are those that prohibit the payment or receipt of money or things of value in order to receive a commercial benefit or personal advantage. Every country in which we operate  and those we expect to enter in the future have laws that make the corruption of its public officials a criminal offense. Such behavior, even without a specific law prohibiting it, is a clear violation of the Company’s code of business conduct and ethics.

This Anti-Bribery Policy was developed at the direction of the Company’s Board of Directors to provide clear guidance to all employees and to ensure a consistent approach to business practices throughout the Company’s operations.

Strict adherence to this Policy is absolutely necessary for the Company to sustain our first-class product and service culture. Violations of this Policy not only undermine the Company’s core values and business purpose and potentially subject the Company to penalties, but could also mean severe criminal penalties, including jail, and corrective action, including possible termination of employment from the Company for any individuals involved. Every Company officer, employee and agent is responsible for carefully reading and understanding this Policy and strictly complying with every aspect of its requirements.
