Code of Ethics |
Management and staff are expected to
commit to the highest ethical standards
of conduct. The company’s internal
Code
of Ethics clearly confirms its commitment
to all its stakeholders, provides guidelines
governing the personal conduct of its
employees and emphasises the importance of adopting enlightened employment policies and practices. The group
intends to enhance its Code of Ethics on
a regular basis and strives to ensure that
the values on which it prides itself will
always be an integral part of the culture
of the company. |

FICA and
POCDATARA |
Money laundering remains a global problem.
Due to the increasing sophistication of
technical and electronic financial systems,
opportunities of money laundering have
escalated and so has the potential to
finance undesirable activities.
This has resulted in renewed attention from
governments to establish legislation to curb
this potential. In South Africa the relevant
legislation is effected through the Financial
Intelligence Centre Act (FICA) and the
Protection of Constitutional Democracy
against Terrorist and Related Activities Act
(POCDATARA). The group has an obligation
to assist the country in preventing and
curbing attempts at money laundering and
the financing of undesirable activities.
Sun International meets all of its obligations
and requirements in respect of reporting
procedures, specific controls and administration as well as staff training.
As a member of CASA, the group liaises
with other member companies to ensure
that industry-wide compliance with the
legislated requirements are met and
maintained.
The group considers it critical to maintain
and protect its reputation in society and
within the regulatory environment. This is of particular relevance to the gaming
industry in which the group operates and is directly linked to the casino licence
requirements to which the group must
ensure compliance. |
