Codes of Ethics and Total Ethics Management Programmes
Why a Code of Ethics and the Implementation of a Total Ethics Management Programme (TEMP) Within Your Business?
A sustainable TEMP ensures that ethics has top priority within the business. The Code of Ethics and TEMP should reflect total commitment from the Board, the business Group Executive and the Chief Executive of the Group. The integration of a Values statement and associated underpinning behaviours, rules and regulations are collectively known as a Code of Ethics.
Considering relevant regulations and the King III report, t is expected that each business should demonstrate its commitment to its code of ethics by -

·	creating systems and procedures to introduce, monitor and enforce its ethical code;

·	assigning high level individuals to oversee compliance with the ethical code;

·	assessing the integrity of new appointees in selection and promotion procedures;

·	exercising due care in delegating discretionary authority;

·	communication with and training of all employees regarding enterprise values, standards and compliance procedures;
