corporate ethics, corporate citizenship, sustainability, stewardship & the triple-E bottom

making, strategy & reporting mechanisms

society & the environment, through transparent & ethical behaviour that:
- Contributes to sustainable development, including health & the welfare of society
- Takes into account the expectations of stakeholders
- Is in compliance with applicable law & consistent with international norms of
behaviour
- Is integrated throughout the organization & practiced in its relationships
- 5 key elements:
