Corporate governance

Code of ethics

Implats has a code of business practice to which all employees and suppliers are expected to adhere. The policy outlines conflicts of interest, the prevention of dissemination of company information, the acceptance of donations and gifts, and protection of the intellectual property and patent rights of the Company. The policy outlines the disciplinary action (including dismissal or prosecution) which will be taken for contravention.

A ‘whistle-blowing’ toll-free helpline is in place to facilitate the confidential reporting of alleged incidents which are reported to the chairman of the Board.

Where we operate

Corruption and fraud

The Company expects employees, business partners, contactors and associates to conduct themselves with the highest levels of integrity and in line with the Implats code of ethics. The company maintains a zero-tolerance approach to fraudulent activity. A detailed code of ethics underpins the Group’s fraud policy, in line with the organisational culture which promotes a strong and healthy ethical fibre. Both policies ensure full compliance with the Prevention and Combating of Corrupt Activites Act, No. 12 of 2004.

Executives and line management are responsible for implementing the fraud policy, code of ethics and resultant procedure.
