Code of Ethics
 
The Bidvest code of ethics encourages and reinforces exemplary business practice.

It is promoted across the Group to provide a set of standards against which decisions and behaviour can be measured. The code applies equally to board members, management and employees. Everyone is the custodian of corporate reputation. The code not only informs individual conduct, it also emphasises the social responsibilities of the enterprise.

Each division is tasked with:
 
Regular and formal identification of ethical risk areas
The strengthening of monitoring and compliance policies, procedures and systems
Establishment of easily accessible safe reporting channels (whistle-blowing)
Alignment of the Group’s disciplinary and ethical codes
Integrity assessment as part of selection and promotion procedures
Induction of new appointees to ensure ethical awareness from the outset
Training on ethical principles, standards and decision-making
Regular monitoring of compliance with ethical standards, using the internal audit process
Reporting to stakeholders on compliance
Independent verification of ethical behaviour
