PURPOSE:
Giddy Yoyo’s Code of Ethics clearly sets out the behaviours expected from all staff members and people who participate within the Giddy Yoyo organization. Our Code of Ethics sets out the parameters of how we treat each other as well as those whom we serve.
In combination with our Mission Statement, The Code of Ethics is of significant importance to Giddy Yoyo and a key component in our foundation. The Code is a reflection of our core beliefs, values and morals, a way of life if we may, and what we believe to be the future of ethical business practices. It is part of our commitment to change the current traditional business model in order to do what we know in our hearts to be right and just, to perform in a manner that produces exceptional results and to encourage accountability, all while serving the greatest good.
Giddy Yoyo places tremendous value on the importance of corporate culture. We are a mindful, heart-centered business and our intention is to touch the hearts of everyone we meet and give hope for a better today and future. This is done by maintaining a positive attitude, being authentic, carrying out each task with awareness and respect, and most importantly, leading by example.
We are committed to providing an empowering environment for all. We are well aware that it takes everyone’s commitment to create such an experience. A sincere thank you in advance for your commitment to our team and for modeling exemplary behaviour. Be the change you wish to experience.

*I am honest and forthright in all I do.
