Human Rights

Alamaya is characterised by a strong and distinctive culture. Combining the values of a small business with the virtues and strengths of a professionally managed public company, we operate according to a robust spirit of enterprise underpinned by a reputation for the highest levels of integrity.

These values influence the decisions and actions made by the Board and management, and how we conduct our business. In line with our organisational values, our relationships, business processes and conduct are based on respect, fairness, integrity, accountability and excellence in performance.
Alamaya has also issued policies, a disciplinary code and procedures, grievance procedures, standard operating procedures, conditions of service and other guidelines to assist employees in making decisions and taking actions based on these values. These cover in more detail many of the subjects referred to briefly in this policy.
Employees and consultants are expected to familiarise themselves with all the applicable policies, procedures and guidelines related to their work, consultancy and or employment. In the event of a conflict between any Alamaya policy or procedure and this Code of Ethics and Conduct, the policy or procedure will take precedence over this document.
As a minimum, employees and consultants shall maintain and implement policies that respect basic human rights and dignity, without distinction on any basis, including the rights to life, liberty, and security of person, freedom from slavery and cruelty, and equal protection under applicable Kenyan and international laws and constitutions.

Labour

Alamaya currently does not have employees but uses consultants as and when required. However, Alamaya is still committed and maintains polices that pertain to all workers having the right to form, join, and organise trade unions of their choice and to bargain collectively on their behalf with the company. Alamaya respects this right, and effectively communicates the same to personnel and that their doing so will not result in any negative consequences to them, or retaliation, from the company.

Alamaya is committed to ensuring that there are no cases of forced or compulsory labour and or of child labour. Alamaya upholds a strict equal opportunities and non-discrimination policy.

Where Alamaya uses consultants or third parties, we will ensure that we as well as they, are aligned with the principle.

Environment

Due to the nature of the company’s operations, Alamaya’s services do not impact the environment negatively in any way. However, Alamaya is cognisant of the fact that should this change the company is prepared and commits to continuous environmental improvement in any way required.

Where Alamaya utilises third parties for equipment or services, we will ensure that we and they are aligned with the principles.
