right thing > We put safety first
> We act ethically and with integrity
> We care about our communities
We must be 100% committed to acting ethically and with integrity at all times.
It is not a job for others - we are each personally responsible for our own behaviour.
Demonstrating commitment to our values means much more than following a set
of compulsory procedures we must understand their very essence.
We must always act with the highest ethical standards in all of our relationships and
dealings and never accept, or excuse, behaviour which is inconsistent with our values
and Code of Business Conduct.
All who work for us, or under our direction, should adopt
the same behaviours and any suspected or actual
breaches must be reported with confidence in
our Leadership Teams commitment to support
anyone making such reports.
Delivering excellence,
inspiring trust and loyalty -
and living our values.
