We participate in multi-stakeholder engagements and, when relevant, respond to public consultations. Our approach to advocacy is guided by the Code of Business Principles (CoBP). The Code provides that any contact by us or our business associates with Government, legislators, regulators or NGOs must be done with honesty, integrity, openness and in compliance with applicable laws. Only authorised individuals can interact with these institutions. Prior internal approval is required for initiating any contact between us, our representatives, and officials, aimed at proactively addressing changes/ suggestions to regulation or legislation. |
We are represented in key industry and business associations. We perform policy advocacy in a transparent and responsible manner while engaging with all the authorities considering ours as well as the larger national interest. |
