Corporate Governance

Aimetis is committed to helping organisations improve business intelligence and security through new technologies.  However, achieving our mission requires more than developing innovative technology.

Technology and the global marketplace do not stand still, requiring more from a company and its employees to keep pace. In addition to delivering quality products and services, the world expects us to conduct ourselves within a sound ethical framework.

As video monitoring has become prevalent in today's era for many reasons, we are mindful to always balance the individuals right to privacy with the right to protect ones property, assets or business. People must be able to trust that personal information is used appropriately and in a way that provides specific value.

To that end, Aimetis is committed to building and implementing technology designed to enable organisations to control the collection, use, and disclosure of their personal information. It's essential that we conduct ourselves with integrity and in compliance with the laws and regulations that govern our global business activities.

Aimetis has ambitious business plans and an inspiring mission to guide us. We adhere to the highest standards of business practices, and by doing so, we've built a valuable reputation for integrity. We believe that a commitment to quality is vital to protecting Aimetis' reputation and customer loyalty. We have zero tolerance for unethical behaviour.

We thank you for your continued confidence and look forward to hearing from you.
