Corporate governance
Corporate governance is a critical pillar of Thiess' operations. Our governance framework creates the structure needed to provide accountability, as well as oversight and guidance.
#Our objectives
Thiess’ financial objectives and corporate governance guidelines are established through our shareholders. These guidelines are an essential part of building confidence and maintaining solid relationships with our clients, stakeholders and staff. They are the key to our continued growth and success.
#Our Code of Conduct sets out the standards of behaviour we expect from all of our people. It formalises the good principles and practices that already guide our decision making, and provides a consistent roadmap.
#Ethics line
We encourage our employees, sub-contractors and partners to voice their concerns should they come across potentially unethical practices.
People who speak up in good faith will be supported by Thiess for doing the right thing. In some circumstances, people will prefer to speak to someone other than their manager about their ethical questions or concerns.
The Thiess Ethics Line provides another way for our employees, sub-contractors and partners to raise issues and have them investigated and remain anonymous should they wish to. Our employees, sub-contractors and partners are encouraged to contact the Ethics Line if they are concerned that something doesn’t add up.
