Rafael developed from a branch of the army into a government corporation whose goal is to be a growing, profitable company, making a unique and significant contribution to the security of the State of Israel, and which researches, develops, manufactures and supplies systems based on the most advanced technology and at the forefront of combat needs, to its customers in Israel and worldwide.

 

As a large business organization with many employees that orders work from a large number of sub-contractors, Rafael has always managed its business and activity with integrity and with ethical responsibility towards its employees, suppliers, customers, competitors and the community.

 

Business development and events in Israel and elsewhere require constant review and update of the rules of the ethical code in all the aspects of activity.

 

The ethical code stresses Rafael’s commitment to high business standards and clarifies what is expected of its managers and staff.  The ethical code commands Rafael, as a business organization, to make every effort to conduct itself with honesty, to respect individuals, to take responsibility for those who choose to work with us, to be fair in our relations with others and to take care of the people who depend on us, and act as model citizens.

 

The process of assimilating the ethical code is an important element in the formation of an organizational culture that combines moral excellence, technical excellence and business excellence.

 

Rafael’s managers and staff, in their actions and decisions, are required to strengthen awareness of the ethical code and to implement all the values and rules of conduct deriving from the code.

 

Strict observance of the ethical code alongside compliance with laws and regulations will deepen the sense of pride and belonging in Rafael, as well as contributing to its strength and business success in a difficult competitive environment, and helping to maintain Rafael’s good name.
