Sunniva’s Code of Conduct was drafted while the incorporation of the company was in progress. This Code is derived from three interlinked fundamental principles

Sunniva is a professionally managed organisation and recognises society as an important stakeholder in this enterprise and therefore it is part of our responsibility to practise good corporate citizenship. We believe that we must build Sunniva into an institution whose dynamism and vitality are anchored in its core values.

In dealing with each other, directors, senior management and employees shall uphold the values which are at the core of our HR Philosophy - trust, teamwork, mutuality and collaboration, meritocracy, objectivity, self respect and human dignity. Indeed, these values form the basis of our HR management systems and processes. In selection and recruitment, while meritocracy will be a prime criterion, managers will scrupulously consider all factors that go towards securing the interests of the Company. Sunniva will focus on meritocracy, equity and upholding of Company values in all people processes including performance management systems, appraisals, remuneration and rewards.

As a good corporate citizen, Sunniva is committed to a gender friendly workplace. It seeks to enhance equal opportunities for men and women, prevent/stop/redress sexual harassment at the workplace and institute good employment practices at all its offices.
Sunniva maintains an open door policy for everyone; encourages employees to report any harassment and is responsive to employee complaints about harassment or other unwelcome and offensive conduct. A Grievance process has been constituted to enquire into complaints and to recommend appropriate action, wherever and whenever required.
Sunniva demands, demonstrates and promotes professional behaviour and respectful treatment of all employees.

All directors, senior management and employees shall ensure that in their dealings with suppliers and customers, the Company’s interests are never compromised. Accepting gifts and presents of more than a nominal value, gratuity payments and other payments from suppliers or customers will be viewed as serious breach of discipline as this could lead to compromising the Company’s interests.

It is the Company’s policy to comply fully with all applicable laws and regulations. Ensuring legal and regulatory compliance is the responsibility of the Chief Executives . The Company cannot accept practices which are unlawful or may be damaging to its reputation.

The Company believes that commitment to sustainable development is a key component of responsible corporate citizenship and therefore deserves to be accorded the highest priority. Accordingly, the Company is committed to Best Practices in environmental matters arising out of its business activities and expects each business to fully demonstrate this commitment.
In addition to complying with applicable laws and regulations, Businesses must establish procedures for assessing the environmental effects of their present and future activities. They should adopt Best Practices in their environmental policies and procedures.
