Upholding business ethics is critically important. This is led by our chief compliance officer, who is responsible for ethics and embedding a culture of compliance, with the full oversight of the Board and the Audit and Risk Committee.
We conduct ethical risk assessments – including anti-bribery risk assessments – across our entire operations. Our disciplinary and consequence management policy ensures adequate measures are used to address any violation of the Group's Code of Conduct or Code of Business Ethics for partners and suppliers.
We have an independently managed whistleblowing process which provides employees, suppliers and partners with a channel to anonymously report any violation of the Group's policies or requirements. This allows the company to investigate and take corrective actions. The Audit and Risk Committee receives quarterly reports of all complaints received and investigated through this whistleblowing channel.
