KAZ Minerals' reputation and the trust and confidence of those with whom it deals and with the communities in which it operates are amongst its most vital assets.
KAZ Minerals’ reputation and its future success are critically dependent on compliance, not just with the law but with the highest ethical standards. The Group Anti-Bribery and Corruption Code and supporting guidance documents emphasise KAZ Minerals’ position in this important area and help KAZ Minerals to safeguard its reputation.
The Board of Directors attach the utmost importance to the Group Anti-Bribery and Corruption Code in clarifying the standards it expects. KAZ Minerals has adopted a clear position on bribery and corruption; KAZ Minerals’ employees do not either directly or indirectly offer or accept bribes or other improper payments for any reason.
The purpose of the Group Anti-Bribery and Corruption Code is to set out the Group’s principles on bribery and corruption which should be applied by all directors, officers and employees of the Group wherever it does business.
