Policy

Policies

“We will neither give nor accept bribes nor permit others to do so in our name. We

aim to operate to the same level of integrity wherever we work.”

Anglo Values

“This means taking an honest, fair, transparent and ethical approach in everything

that we do. It’s not about being popular; it’s about always doing the right thing.”

16

THE IMPACTS OF CORRUPTION

“Corruption is an insidious plague that has a wide range of

corrosive effects on societies. It undermines democracy and the

rule of law, leads to violations of human rights, distorts markets,

erodes the quality of life and allows organised crime, terrorism and

other threats to human security.

Corruption hurts the poor disproportionately by diverting funds

intended for development, undermining the government’s ability to

provide basic services, feeding inequality and injustice, and

discouraging foreign investment and aid.”

Kofi Annan, Former Secretary-General of the United Nations.

31

(A) GIFTS AND HOSPITALITY – KEY PRINCIPLES

Written disclosure and approval required for all gifts, entertainment and hospitality exceeding your function’s reporting threshold.

You are accountable for determining the acceptability of gift and hospitality exchange regardless of the threshold.

Key considerations for acceptability include: business purpose, timing, proportionality, reciprocity, counterpart permissions.

Be extra careful when dealing with government/public officials (including employees of state-owned entities)

Could the perception be created that objectivity is compromised?

32

1) Is my course of action consistent with Anglo American’s values,

principles and business integrity policy?

2) Am I setting a good example?

3) Am I being transparent?

4) Have I sought appropriate advice?

5) Would my actions cause embarrassment to the company or myself

if they were to become public knowledge (remember, even if your

actions are not strictly illegal they could be damaging to Anglo

American’s reputation)?

SELF-CHECK QUESTIONS

33

1) What factors give rise for concern from a business integrity perspective?

2) What action should you consider taking and why?

a) Keep the gift;

b) Share the gift with your team;

c) Return the gift to the potential supplier;

d) Raffle the gift off for charity.

3) Would your decision be different if:

a) The gift was just one bottle of wine; or

b) The gift was from an existing supplier?

AN UNEXPECTED GIFT (A, B)

You are due to award a procurement contract before 20th December. You

have a meeting with one of the potential bidders on 10th December. The

next day you receive a case of expensive champagne with the note,

“Thank you for our meeting. We would look forward to working with you.

Merry Christmas.”

34

1) What factors give rise for concern from a business integrity perspective?

2) On what basis could you agree to facilitate the trip for the official?

A REQUEST FROM A GOVERNMENT OFFICIAL (A, F)

You are in discussions with a government official over the results of an

environmental impact report commissioned as part of the permitting

process required for a project in Mongolia. During the meeting he says that

he has heard relatively positive comments about Anglo American

operations but he is still concerned about the environmental impacts of

mining. He then asks if he and three of his colleagues could visit some of

Anglo American’s operations and talk to the local communities, perhaps in

South Africa?

35

(B) CONFLICTS OF INTEREST – KEY PRINCIPLES

Transparency through disclosure of conflicts of interest are fundamental to maintaining a reputation for professional integrity.

Conflicts of interest can arise in various situations include outside jobs and activities, relationships and investments.

All actual, potential or perceived conflicts of interest should be avoided or promptly disclosed or managed.

The disclosure and management of conflicts on interest should be fully documented.

Certain “interests” are prohibited and others require prior approval. Ensure that you are clear on the Business Integrity Policy requirements.
