GCON4 – Global Unit4 Partner for Unit4 Business Enterprise solutions
This document is about how we behave and what we consider to be right or wrong.
As a responsible member of society, it is incumbent upon each of us to strive towards excellence in our personal and professional lives. In order to achieve this goal, it is necessary to abide by certain standards of behavior that serve to promote the well-being of oneself as well as others. It is with this in mind that we present the Code of Ethics and Conduct, a set of guidelines that will help to ensure that all members of our organization are acting with integrity and in accordance with our shared values.
By following these principles, we affirm our commitment to honesty, respect, responsibility, and excellence, and demonstrate our desire to create a harmonious and productive environment for all members of our team. We encourage all members to take this code seriously and to hold themselves and each other accountable for upholding its principles.
The Gcon4 Code of Ethics and Conduct is fundamental to the values of Gcon4 Spain SL and essential to achieving its mission by promoting the highest standards of ethics, education, and professional excellence for the ultimate benefit of society. Gcon4 works diligently to take measures to minimize our environmental impact and to conduct business to the highest ethical standards, which are critical to maintaining the public’s trust in consultancy companies, their products, and services. This code promotes the integrity of all people working at Gcon4 SL. Permanent and non-permanent staff and owners (for easy reference throughout this code “staff”), regardless of the job functions, cultural differences, or local laws must abide by this code. Violations may result in disciplinary sanctions by Gcon4.
We consider it appropriate to make reference to the fact that in case of conflict between internal GCON4 instructions/procedures and the Code of Ethics and Conduct, the law will prevail.

Our fees are always competitive for what we provide, which is high-quality, tailored, specialized service. As such we do not generally offer arbitrary discounts; generally, a reduction in price is only enabled by reducing the level or extent of services to be delivered. That said, we always try to propose solutions that accommodate our clients’ available budgets and timescales. Wherever possible we agree on our fees and basis of charges clearly in advance so that we and our clients can plan reliably for what lies ahead, and how it is to be achieved and financially justified.
We aim to be as flexible as possible in the way that our services are charged. Some clients prefer fixed project fees; others are happier with time and material projects, and we try to fit in with what will be best for the client. We make no attempt to charge interest on late payments, so we expect payments to be made when agreed.
