1. Code of Ethics – Introduction

Our main goal is creating a better future!

We are a company that, thanks to its knowledge, commitment and cooperation with leading research units in Poland and in the world, sets new standards in business.

A company is people, people are actions, and actions are rules. And these rules show us the way.

At AMAZAMET, we put Business Ethics first. Because we come from the scientific community, we pay a lot of attention to honest conduct when it comes to both scientific  and technical environment. We deliver innovative solutions on the highest level. The entire production process at AMAZAMET is based on trust built from the moment the idea is born until the finished product is delivered.

On the basis of this philosophy, our Code of Ethics was created. It’s our rulebook of how we approach business.

We create a business responsibly – this principle guides all actions taken. An important feature of our company is, among others, care for the natural environment. Our production process includes solutions that meet the eco-friendly requirements.

In the document below, we indicate the main areas and principles of our activity. We believe in the thesis that “who wants to change the world starts with himself”, therefore at AMAZEMET the greatest value are committed and honest people.
