TLI Group’s core values:

• SAFETY – Safety is sacrosanct

• DELIVERY – We work hard and we work smart
• FLEXIBILITY – We embrace change and innovation
• PEOPLE – We invest in our people

In line with TLI Group’s core values, TLI Group, in turn, values its business relationships with its employees, sub-contractors, clients and suppliers. All of these relationships are central to the success of the company.

In summary:

• We will comply with all relevant legislation in the conduct of all business activities
• We will be honest in our dealings
• We will not offer or take bribes
• We will be diligent in selecting our suppliers, sub-contractors , advisors and consultants
• We will respond to any breach of behavior as it relates to our Code of Business Conduct

TLI Group believes all employees are important stakeholders in the enterprise and it is imperative to build a culture of mutual trust and respect, interdependence and meaningful engagement. This approach helps in building, strengthening and sustaining harmonious employee relations across the organisation.  It is therefore TLI Group’s policy:

1. To respect the dignity of the individual and the freedom of employees to lawfully organise themselves into interest groups, independent of supervision by the management;
2. To ensure that employees are not discriminated against for exercising this freedom in a lawful manner
3. To ensure that those who do not wish to be involved in any organised employee group, are not affected by discrimination or harassed in any way for making a decision that may contradict that of their colleagues, or any group thereof.

We believe in treating people with respect and dignity, and do not condone the use of our services to infringe upon the human rights of others. TLI Group also expects our suppliers to adhere to the same high standards (see our Supplier Code of Conduct), and takes reasonable steps to ensure that partners with whom we do business adhere to those standards as well.

Accordingly, TLI Group has adopted the following principles throughout the company. These principles are drawn from the United Nations Global Compact, the Universal Declaration of Human Rights, the International Labour Organization’s Declaration on Fundamental Principles and Rights at Work, the Rio Declaration on Environment and Development, the United Nations Convention Against Corruption, and the United Nations Guiding Principles on Business and Human Rights.
