We are committed to conducting our business with the highest standards of integrity and ethical behaviour. We firmly believe that trust and transparency are the foundation of our relationships with our clients, partners, and the communities we serve.
Our commitment
- Zero tolerance policy: We have a zero-tolerance approach to bribery and corruption. We strictly prohibit any form of bribery, whether direct or indirect, including the offering, giving, receiving, or soliciting of any item of value to influence the actions of individuals or organisations.
- Compliance and regulations: We comply with all applicable anti-bribery and corruption laws and regulations in the jurisdictions where we operate. This includes South Africa’s Prevention and Combating of Corrupt Activities Act 12 of 2004 (PACCA), the UK Bribery Act, the US Foreign Corrupt Practices Act (FCPA), and other relevant legislation.
- Training and awareness: All our personnel receive regular training on anti-bribery and corruption policies. This ensures that everyone understands their responsibilities and the importance of maintaining ethical standards.
- Reporting and accountability: We encourage a culture of openness and accountability. We encourage any personnel (including suppliers and contractors) who suspect or become aware of bribery or corruption to report it immediately. We provide multiple reporting channels, and all reports are treated confidentially and investigated thoroughly.
- Continuous improvement: We continuously review and improve our anti-bribery and corruption policies to ensure they remain effective and current with the latest legal requirements and best practices.
