Ethics & Complaince
Our conduct
Every day, Devvon Group works hard to deliver the resources that are the building blocks of an ever-changing world. While what we achieve is important, so is how we achieve it.
We know consistent ethical behaviour cultivates a culture of inclusion, care and trust, which ultimately results in improved performance by Devvon Group. It also strengthens our relationships with the communities where we work and helps protect the social value we deliver.
How we work is guided by 6 key elements and they are :
- Sustainability
- Integrity
- Respect
- Performance
- Simplicity
- Accountability
Our commitment to transparency
We live in a world where public trust in institutions is declining. The absence of trust undermines social cohesion and creates social and economic instability. It is incumbent on socially responsible corporations to contribute to rebuilding trust. A key means of doing this is through transparency and disclosure, including making it clear how an organisation contributes to society, enabling people to have access to accurate information to inform their own views on issues.
Transparency principles of responsibility, openness, fairness and accountability are underpinned in our DNA. We continue to exhibit the highest levels of transparency principles .
Water stewardship in such a case is not only critical to our operated assets but is central to the resilience of the communities where we operate and the environment. Greater transparency around water requirements and usage will help governments, industry and communities work together to safeguard our water supplies for future generations.
Our Ethics and Compliance programme
Our Ethics and Compliance programme encompasses risk assessments, policies and procedures, training and awareness, monitoring, speaking openly and investigations. We work with experts to ensure our programme aligns with international best practice, taking 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 key elements, meaning that across the business, we have the courage to do what’s right, even when it’s hard.
