Our Code of Conduct and Pledge to the Vital Interests and Laws of the West Eventus uses both internal assets, as well as external partners and contractors (such as our external Special Advisors or our attorney partners) within our global strategic network. Thereby our assets pledge to our Code of Conduct (“COC”). It establishes the legal and strategic standards expected while working for or with Eventus. It fuses Austrian, EU, and U.S. compliance principles with the good-practice benchmarks applied by major Western private security and intelligence firms and expressly aligns our activities with the security interests and core values of the Western world. Breach may lead to immediate contract termination and/or legal liability. A central component of the pledge is the adherence to the international standards for “private military and security companies”, as defined in the Montreux Document’s Good Practices. https://www.montreuxdocument.org/about/montreux-document.html Hereunder discloses some of the key sections each of our COC Agreements with our external contractors contains, to inform third parties.
