CODE OF CONDUCT
A Message about the Code of Business Conduct and Ethics from the Chairman of Concargo (Pty) Ltd.
Code of Conduct To All Directors and Employees:
One of Concargo’s most valuable assets is its integrity. Protecting this asset is the responsibility of everyone in Concargo. To that end, we have established a Code of Business Conduct and Ethics (the “Code”). The Code applies to every Director and employee of Concargo. We also expect that those with whom we do business and have forged alliances with (including our agents, consultants, suppliers, customers and Strategic Business Partners) to also adhere to the Code. Our Code is designed to help you comply with the law and maintain the highest standards of ethical conduct. The Code does not cover every issue that may arise, but it sets out basic principles and a methodology to help guide you in the attainment of this common goal.
All of Concargo’s Directors and employees must carry out their duties in accordance with the policies set forth in this Code and with applicable laws and regulations. To the extent that other Concargo policies and procedures conflict with this Code, you should follow this Code. Any violation of applicable law or any deviation from the standards embodied in this Code will result in disciplinary action up to and including termination. Disciplinary action also may apply to an employee’s Divisional Manager or Department head who directs or approves the employee’s improper actions, or is aware of those actions but does not act appropriately to correct them. In addition to imposing its own discipline, Concargo may also bring suspected violations of law to the attention of the appropriate Law Enforcement Agencies.
Managers set an example for other employees and are often responsible for directing the actions of others. Every manager and employee is expected to take necessary actions to ensure compliance with this Code, to provide guidance and assist employees in resolving questions concerning the Code, and to permit employees to express any concerns regarding compliance with this Code. No one has the authority to order another employee to act contrary to this Code.
You should always consult your immediate manager or legal team with any questions about the legality of you or your colleague’s audit.
Sincerely,
David Alexander Kruyer
Chairman Concargo (Pty) Ltd In the event that you become aware of any facts surrounding a transaction that might be suspicious and give rise to a violation of this Code of Conduct, please bring it to the attention of Concargo Management, or you may anonymously advise Concargo by calling the CEO or Chairman directly.

Policy Statement
Concargo is committed to being a good corporate citizen. Concargo’s policy is to conduct its business affairs honestly and in an ethical manner. That goal cannot be achieved unless you individually accept your responsibility to promote integrity and demonstrate the highest level of ethical conduct in all of your activities.

This means following the spirit of the Code and the law, doing the “right” thing, and acting ethically even when the law is not specific. When you are faced with a business situation where you must determine the right thing to do, you should ask the following questions:- Am I following the spirit, as well as the letter of any law or Concargo’s policy?

- What would my family, friends or neighbours think of my actions?
- Will there be any direct or indirect negative consequences for Concargo?
