CODE OF ETHICS

• Ethical behaviour on the part of company directors is not negotiable.

• The stewardship of a director is first towards the company and its shareholders, and then to all other stakeholders.

• Sound moral values are propagated by the conduct of individuals.

• The effectiveness of free enterprise and the market economy demands responsibility. It is therefore vital that business activity is directed by people of integrity, fairness and vision.

• Fair competition is fundamental to the free enterprise system. Directors must support laws regulating restraints of trade, unfair practices, avoidance of collusion, and the abuse or the unscrupulous use of economic power.

• Ethical behaviour may never be a justification for poor performance.
