IGO SUSTAINABILITY REPORT 2022— 85 Business Integrity We believe that the responsibility of business integrity is owned by everyone who works for IGO and is centred around our culture of care. This ethos forms our judgements about both desirable and undesirable behaviour. Important among the desirable behaviour is the expectation that we act with honesty, transparency and accountability, and we care about how our actions may impact others. To give effect to these expectations, we have structures and processes with the intent of ensuring business integrity. The central elements are IGO’s Code of Conduct, our governance process, our risk management process, and our compliance and systems, which have been established to drive continual improvement. Code of Conduct IGO actively promotes ethical and responsible decision making by clearly stating our purpose and our values in our Code of Conduct. Our Code of Conduct guides the standard of behaviour expected from our people. The Code of Conduct applies equally to our Board, our employees, our suppliers and our contractors. During the year, a full review of our Code of Conduct was undertaken, which resulted in a simplified document that focuses on what is the minimum standard of behaviour that we expect of all our people working for and on behalf of IGO. It is designed to be an easy-to-use tool to help our people make decisions at work that are aligned with our purpose and values and the way IGO wants to conduct business. We seek to do business with others who are aligned with our Code of Conduct and act accordingly, and to improve our governance in this area we will be adopting a Supplier Code of Conduct in FY23. IGO’s Code of Conduct imposes a responsibility on individuals to report breaches of the Code either internally or through the Company’s external reporting service. IGO is committed to maintaining an open and honest working environment in which our people can report potential misconduct concerns, without fear of reprisal or detrimental treatment. IGO’s Speak Up Standard enables our people, suppliers, contractors, tenderers and/ or any other person who has business with IGO to report confidentially any significant concerns about the business or behaviour of individuals. This could include suspicion around business integrity and corporate governance, financial reporting, safety and environmental concerns or human rights. In FY22, one case was raised through the IGO Speak Up process and it was investigated accordingly. IGO’s Code of Conduct and Speak Up Standard are available in the Governance section of our website. Corporate Governance The IGO Board Responsibility for IGO’s strategic approach, risk appetite and governance lie with IGO’s Board and ELT. We believe good governance is about doing the right thing and having the courage to care and stand up for what is right and essential for the long-term sustainability of the business and the protection of the interests of all our stakeholders. At a Glance Revised Code of Conduct adopted A new Conflict of Interest Standard was adopted New external independent Speak Up reporting platform launched As a purpose-led organisation with strong, embedded values and a culture of caring for our people and our stakeholders, we believe business integrity is more than just compliance – it is about doing business right and in accordance with our values.
