Grupa Bodzinski.pl Code of Ethics
Introduction: shared Grupa Bodzinski.pl standards
Centrum Informacji Prawnej sp. z o.o. is part of Grupa Bodzinski.pl. The whole group has adopted and applies a common Code of Ethics and Responsible Conduct. Centrum Informacji Prawnej applies it in everyday work with clients, employees, colleagues and partners. We publish the group standards below with Centrum Informacji Prawnej-specific contacts. Each company remains legally distinct and responsible for applying the code to its own operations. It supplements applicable law and the professional duties of regulated practitioners.
1. Purpose, scope and status
The code covers communication, decision-making and responses to concerns. It applies to management, employees and collaborators within their responsibilities. Partners are expected to respect these principles in their work with Centrum Informacji Prawnej. Shared branding does not remove each provider’s separate legal responsibility.
2. EDEK: values in practice
Education means reliable knowledge, continuous development and clear language. Dialogue requires attentive listening, constructive discussion and respect for different views. Ecology asks us to reduce unnecessary resource use and consider actual impacts. A culture of responsibility, means integrity, explaining decisions and putting mistakes right. We apply these values together: a sound solution should be understandable, agreed, proportionate and responsible.
3. Human dignity, family and equal treatment
We respect each person’s dignity, privacy and circumstances. Discrimination, harassment, intimidation and humiliation are unacceptable. We assess cooperation on competence, quality and reliability. We recognise the importance of family, health and caring duties and seek compatible arrangements within organisational possibilities. We do not exploit hardship, disability or lack of knowledge to pressure clients or sell unnecessary services.
4. Honesty towards clients
Before work begins, we explain the scope, price or pricing method, expected process and significant limitations. Facts are distinguished from opinions and assumptions. We do not promise favourable judgments, benefit awards, specific savings or certification when outcomes depend on others or on circumstances. We disclose material risks and scope changes. References, awards, reviews, success stories and experience claims must never be fabricated.
5. Competence, authorisation and quality
We accept work within our knowledge, resources and required authorisations, or arrange participation by an appropriately authorised specialist. We accurately describe the provider’s role and the professional status of those involved. We do not imply regulated qualifications we do not hold. Cross-border matters require identifying the jurisdiction and permitted scope. We use current sources, record significant agreements and arrange review proportionate to risk.
6. Independence and conflicts of interest
We assess whether personal interests, relationships, other engagements or third-party remuneration may compromise independence or loyalty. Potential conflicts are referred to the responsible person before or during an engagement. Information barriers and consent are used only where law and professional rules permit them. Where a conflict cannot be managed properly, we disclose it as appropriate and decline or end the engagement on proper terms.
7. Confidentiality, privacy and information security
Information obtained through cooperation is used only for agreed lawful purposes. Access is limited to genuine need. We use appropriate safeguards, verify message recipients and minimise disclosures. Client matters are not revealed in conversations, promotional materials or social media without a proper basis. Suspected breaches must be referred promptly to the person responsible for security or data protection. Privacy enquiries: IOD@CIP.LEGAL.
8. Anti-corruption and abuse prevention
We do not offer, request or accept benefits intended to exert improper influence. Facilitation payments, concealed commissions and fictitious accounting are unacceptable. Gifts and hospitality must be lawful, reasonable and transparent and must not create obligations. Doubts require prior compliance review. Significant exceptions are documented and suspected fraud is investigated while respecting the rights of everyone involved.
9. Financial integrity and fair markets
Documents, invoices and service descriptions must reflect real events. We do not accept hidden costs, sham transactions or evasion disguised as optimisation. We respect agreed deadlines and explain discrepancies. We protect fair competition and intellectual property. We do not agree unlawful market practices with competitors. Invoice and payment enquiries may be directed to finanse@bodzinski.org.
10. Responsible communication and technology
Publications must respect facts, rights and privacy. Information, opinion and advertising should be distinguishable. Fake reviews and deceptive identities are unacceptable. AI may support work but does not replace human accountability for the final material. Outputs require verification. Confidential data must not be entered into tools without assessing their terms, security and the lawful basis for use.
11. Education, dialogue and accessibility
We explain solutions in language suited to the audience, welcome questions and allow informed decisions. Training content should be current and exam rules and completion documents accurately described. A private certificate must not be presented as a state qualification without legal grounds. Within organisational possibilities, we remove communication barriers and consider reasonable accessibility needs.
12. Environment and social responsibility
We reduce unnecessary printing, materials and travel that can be replaced by effective remote work. Environmental decisions reflect actual capabilities and evidence. Climate neutrality, complete sustainability or measurable savings must not be claimed without proof. Social initiatives should address recipients’ needs; their stories must not be used for promotion without a proper basis. The CSR policy develops these principles. Contact: csr@bodzinski.org.
13. Raising concerns and protecting reporters
Ethical concerns may be sent to kancelaria@cip.legal or the relevant entity’s competent body; social matters to csr@bodzinski.org and privacy matters to IOD@CIP.LEGAL. Include the event, date, entity and available evidence where possible. Information is shared only as necessary, without promising secrecy contrary to legal duties. Retaliation for reports based on reasonable grounds is unacceptable. These addresses are not declared statutory whistleblowing channels and do not replace required separate procedures.
14. Fair review and corrective action
The recipient should assess urgency, preserve relevant information and arrange an impartial review. A person involved should not decide their own case alone. Findings must reflect available evidence and an opportunity to respond. Confirmed problems require proportionate measures, such as process correction, a published correction, training or other lawful contractual action. Lessons should also prevent recurrence.
15. The responsible decision test
Before acting, ask five questions. Is it lawful and within our competence? Does the client understand the scope and consequences? Are confidentiality and dignity protected? Could we honestly explain the decision to the person affected? Have unnecessary social and environmental costs been considered? Resolve doubts before acting. A deadline, desired result or manager’s instruction does not justify breaching the standard.
16. Implementation, accountability and review
Centrum Informacji Prawnej management is responsible for organising implementation, providing resources and communicating the code to those covered. These principles inform working arrangements and partner relationships. Review is planned at least annually and after material changes or serious incidents. Changes are recorded and communicated appropriately. Centrum Informacji Prawnej website publication version: 19 October 2026.
