We take care that our decisions in our work are not influenced by interests which could conflict with OceanaGold’s.
Working with integrity
Conflicts of interest
Every day, we work to build trust with our workforce, suppliers, communities and investors. This trust can be damaged if it looks like our judgment is affected by personal interests. Disclosing and managing conflicts of interest protects us individually and OceanaGold.
Not all conflicts of interest are a problem, but we need to be transparent about them to assess and manage them.
- Do not use our position to benefit ourselves or those close to us unfairly.
- Consider if our interests conflict (or appear to conflict) with OceanaGold’s interests.
- Speak up if we are unsure.
- Disclose any potential or actual conflict as soon as we become aware of it.
- Manage any conflicts of interest transparently and fairly and in the best interests of OceanaGold.
- Where we cannot avoid a conflict of interest, disclose it so it can be managed.
- Accepting overly generous benefits can make us feel obligated to the giver.
- Personal relationships or relationships with suppliers or competitors that can leave us torn between the interests of OceanaGold and the interests of the supplier or competitor.
- Hiring, promoting or supervising a family member or someone with whom you live or have a close relationship.
- Not disclosing investments or directorships in a supplier or competitor.
