GOVERNANCE
Creating sustainable value for our stakeholders requires that we adopt and demonstrate strong governance principles throughout our business, from board-level down.
Our corporate governance approach at P&O Maritime Logistics is aimed at achieving high levels of transparency, accountability and business propriety with the ultimate goal of increasing long-term value for shareholders, whilst safeguarding the needs and interests of our major stakeholders.
CODE OF CONDUCT
The P&OML Code of Business Conduct (COBC) sets the standards and clarifies the procedures and rules for running our day-to-day operations. It provides practical guidance for dealing professionally with business partners, customers, employees and the communities in which we operate, and includes the promotion of personal integrity and respect for the environment. Understanding the COBC is a mandatory part of our employee induction process and is accessible to all employees on the intranet.
The Whistleblowing Hotline is a mechanism to provide all our Stakeholders with the confidence and means to raise concerns regarding any wrongdoing they observe. All concerns are dealt with effectively, confidentiality and consistently.
ETHICS HOTLINE
Exposure to fraud risks and COBC violations are monitored through the Ethics Line, an electronic mailbox enabling anonymous reporting of violations of the COBC supported by the HR Director and the Head of Legal.
