Programme
Our Ethics and Compliance Programme
Our Ethics and Compliance Programme encompasses risk assessments, policies and procedures, training and awareness, advice, monitoring, discipline and incentives, speaking openly and investigations. We work with experts to develop our Programme, taking account of international best practice and guidance from relevant authorities. All employees, directors and officers (as well as contractors, where applicable) must comply with our relevant policies and procedures, and the law. When we enter into joint ventures where we are not the operator, we encourage our partners to adopt similar policies and procedures to ours.
Our leaders are responsible for creating a culture where ethical behaviour is encouraged. Integrity is one of our Values meaning that across the business, we have the courage to do what’s right, even when it’s hard.
