SUSTAINABILITY OF PARTNERS

One Luggage recognises its obligations to all those with whom it has dealings, – shareholders, employees, customers, suppliers, competitors and the wider community.

One Luggage is committed to conducting its business in an ethical manner and in full compliance with all applicable laws. Honesty, fairness, respect and integrity are all guiding principles in our business dealings. Our ability to achieve the challenging business goals we set for ourselves depends on each and every one of us being committed to these values. These values apply wherever we do business.

The reputation of the Company and the trust and confidence of those with whom it deals is one of its most vital resources. The protection of this is of fundamental importance.

One Luggage demands and maintains the highest ethical standards in carrying out its business activities. Corrupt practices of any sort will not be tolerated. The Company will monitor ethical performance regularly.

SUSTAINABILITY OF SYSTEMS

As much of our business is predicated on operating systems, we ensure that all systems are robust and effective. One Luggage ensures its systems meet compliance wherever possible across the company and it is mandatory within our contact centre. As such, security is paramount and the sustainability of the company is reliant on this.

To achieve this we develop our systems with our partners using recognised industry standard software and development languages. All systems are fully tested before release and have comprehensive back-up and fall-over processes in place to ensure continuity of business.
