The specific behaviour expected forms part of our culture statement. All staff members attend regular culture workshops, where teams evaluate themselves and where very practical case studies are discussed to ensure that all employees are aware of how being ethical affects them directly.

Our Ethics Committee consists of employees from different disciplines and levels. An annual "stock take" is done to identify and address potential ethical issues. Furthermore, ethics features as an agenda point at all management meetings, ensuring that our progress is evaluated and discussed regularly.

Ethics is part of our performance management system. In Power, ethical dimensions are measured in leadership assessments, internal customer evaluations, external evaluations and culture and climate surveys. These instruments form part of the performance contracts, which affect bonuses.

The importance of ethics is also addressed in leadership development initiatives.

We have an ethics hotline with a whistle-blower facility in place. Staff, suppliers and sub-contractors can utilize the line and all incidents are investigated. Information sessions on the Hotline take place regularly, and information posters are displayed in all areas of the workplace.

The comprehensive Ethics Policy will make sure you get heard, without any fear of comeback. Our group is commited to creating and maintaining an ethical working environment. So, if there is any foul play in our company, we need to get rid of it. You can help by reporting foul play by either completing the form or by calling the following hotline numbers.
