Eskom commits itself to upholding its values and ethical standards and demonstrating this commitment to all its stakeholders. Therefore, Eskom’s directors and employees are required to apply the Code in their day-to-day activities, especially if there are no rules governing the decisions.

The Eskom Code of Ethics; ‘The Way’, reflects the organisation’s commitment to the highest ethical standards and principles in all Eskom business. It not only describes the acceptable behaviour and attitudes that are essential in living the Eskom values of Zero Harm, Integrity, Innovation, Sinobuntu, Customer Satisfaction and Excellence (ZIISCE), but it also establishes the foundation for the interaction of Eskom’s Board of Directors and employees with colleagues, customers, suppliers, shareholders, the environment, the public and other stakeholders.

Adhering to this Code is not optional; it is The Way we do business at Eskom, the Eskom Way.

Eskom is also committed to the fight against fraud, corruption, and other forms of economic crime, and irregularities and has established the Fraud Prevention and Whistle Blowing Policies. Eskom adopts a zero-tolerance approach to these activities, irrespective of whether they are committed in or outside the organisation.

This commitment promotes a culture that facilitates the disclosure of information relating to criminal and other irregular conduct in the workplace by employees and others in a responsible manner

To this end, Eskom adopts a holistic approach to prevent, detect, investigate, and take any appropriate action internally and prosecuting externally, through the justice system, towards acts of fraud, corruption, and other forms of economic crime or irregularities.
