Code of Business Conduct and Ethics


The Board of Directors of True Nature Holding, Inc. has adopted the following Code of Business Conduct and Ethics to protect the reputation and effectiveness of the Company, and to promote compliance with applicable laws and regulations.


The Company believes that a strong ethical foundation will lead to long term benefits for all shareholders, employees and service providers of the Company. The Company understands that employee behavior is a direct representation of the entire team. More often than not, a Code of Business Conduct and Ethics provides a company with a culture by which to live and operate. As is the case in most companies, ethics are derived from the leadership of the organization. The Company is proud to be led by directors and executives who ensure that these moral standards are their highest priority. The core principles the Company expects of every individual employed are as follows:


 Truth and Honesty — True and honest behavior shall be the paramount focus of our organization. Truth is vital in carrying out our business. Honesty is critical in our work place, providing the underpinning of an ethical standard for the prevention of questionable activity.


 Loyalty — Loyalty to the Company and its shareholders, and to the success of the Company and its shareholders, is the underlying foundation of the Company. Loyalty to our peers and our professional relationships is a requirement of this organization. This also requires employees to refrain from allowing personal interests to conflict with interests of the Company.


 Integrity — Integrity is defined as encompassing the personal inner sense of wholeness deriving from honesty and consistent uprightness of character. Integrity is vital for upholding the moral fiber of the Company in the eyes of its employees, shareholders, the public, and regulatory agencies. Integrity in business dealings, social interactions and daily life activities will be our unspoken code of honor.


 Respect — Respect is to be inherent in relations with all other individuals, and is a courteous expression of esteem or regard for people’s feelings and needs. Respect for ourselves, our fellow employees, our shareholders and business associates, and for their expectations, will be earned, honored, and displayed.
