Compliance & ethics

Integrity is part of the operating system.

Lion & Leo’s published framework is designed around transparent, accountable operations aligned with international client requirements, supplier codes and anti-corruption expectations.

Compliance framework

Controls designed for high-trust supply chains.

Lion & Leo’s current compliance materials reference the UN Supplier Code of Conduct, USAID requirements, OECD anti-bribery principles and international development best practices.

The framework combines preventive controls, due diligence, reporting, training, documentation and escalation so ethical requirements remain connected to everyday procurement, transport, warehousing, facilities and staffing decisions.

Core controls

From supplier screening to field execution.

Compliance is distributed across the operating lifecycle rather than treated as a final approval step.

01

Anti-fraud & anti-corruption

Zero-tolerance controls covering bribery, facilitation payments, fraud, kickbacks and improper benefits, reinforced through reporting and escalation procedures.

02

Conflict of interest

Employees and business partners are expected to disclose actual, potential or perceived conflicts so decisions remain transparent and impartial.

03

Sanctions & due diligence

Partner screening, legal-entity checks, beneficial-ownership review and enhanced due diligence are used where risk requires deeper verification.

04

Financial integrity

Formal payment channels, audit trails, transaction controls and documented approval requirements support anti-money-laundering and counter-terrorist-financing safeguards.

05

Human rights & labor

Policies address non-discrimination, fair treatment, child labor, forced labor, harassment, worker rights and responsible employment practices.

06

Quality management

A structured quality-management system aligned with ISO 9001:2015 principles supports customer focus, process control, evidence-based decisions and continuous improvement.

07

Health, safety & security

Risk assessment, staff training, incident prevention, route and cargo-security controls, and emergency-response procedures are integrated into operations.

08

Data protection

Privacy, confidentiality, access controls and responsible handling of client and employee information are addressed through dedicated data-protection policies.

Governance

Report, investigate, document and improve.

The published framework includes designated policy owners, periodic review, employee acknowledgement and training expectations, reporting channels, audit activity and corrective-action processes.

Compliance documentation

Need policy evidence for vendor registration, an RFP or due diligence review?

Compliance in practice

Controls are strongest when they sit inside normal operations.

Compliance is connected to purchasing, payments, supplier onboarding, recruitment, information access, safety and incident response. This makes ethical requirements part of daily decisions rather than a separate policy exercise.

01

Third-party risk

Supplier and partner checks are scaled to the value, sensitivity and risk of the relationship.

02

Financial integrity

Approval levels, supporting documents, segregation of duties and audit trails help protect payment and procurement decisions.

03

People & safeguarding

Human rights, fair employment, safeguarding and non-retaliation expectations are built into workforce and partner standards.

04

Speak-up channels

Suspected misconduct can be escalated through management or the published compliance reporting channels.

External standards & supplier readiness

Compliance is designed for institutional procurement environments.

The public profile references UN supplier expectations, anti-corruption controls, Afghan licensing and international procurement readiness. Formal tenders should rely on the current certificate, registration and policy pack rather than website statements alone.

01

Quality management

ISO 9001:2015 is referenced in the public company profile as the basis for structured quality and continual-improvement practices.

02

UN procurement readiness

UNGM registration is referenced to support participation in United Nations procurement environments.

03

Data privacy

The live profile references GDPR and data-privacy protocols as part of its compliance framework. Actual processing obligations should always be assessed against the applicable law, client contract and data location.

04

UN / USAID / OECD alignment

The live compliance page states alignment with the UN Supplier Code of Conduct, relevant USAID requirements and OECD anti-bribery principles; formal bids should reference the exact current contractual or regulatory requirement that applies.

05

Ethics & due diligence

Anti-fraud, anti-bribery, conflict-of-interest, sanctions, human-rights, safeguarding and whistleblowing controls are published as separate governance standards.

06

Audit-ready evidence

Procurement records, approvals, inspections, delivery evidence, supplier files and corrective actions are retained according to project and governance needs.
