These changes have been driven by events in global financial markets, globalisation of markets and a new era of corporate responsibility. It is an era that demands accountability and transparency from business, and particularly from multinational business corporations. This context demands that a rigorous and disciplined compliance process supports and sustains the corporate governance and risk management systems and structures that direct the business activities. Barloworld is driven by the maxim of creating sustainable value for all its stakeholders. What sets us apart is our ability to develop and maintain mutually beneficial long-term business relationships. Our aspirations for the future, our high ethical standards and our commitment to leadership and excellence determine the Barloworld way of doing business. The Barloworld group is committed to responsible business conduct and best practices. All group activities are guided by the governance framework of ethics, codes of conduct, policies and commitment to legal compliance.
