Don’t support it, report it
FNB Namibia has launched a campaign in which employees as well as the general public are advised of the culture of zero tolerance for misconduct upheld at FNB Namibia in all aspects of business.
“Today, more than ever it seems as if corruption, fraud, theft, negligence or misconduct is rife worldwide. If not nipped in the bud, it could lead to countries and economies losing millions of dollars which could have been spent on much needed educational or health initiatives,” says Edla Kaumbi, ethics and integrity manager at FNB Namibia.
FNB Namibia conducted an internal survey and from the culture risk assessment it became clear that people are afraid to speak up.
“We, however, encourage everyone to speak up against misconduct. There is zero tolerance for misconduct and it is our collective responsibility to get rid of it because we want to be a great Namibian business creating a better world. Whistle-blowing is international best practice and we should ensure that no one gets away with unethical, unprofessional or fraudulent behaviour. Everybody needs to understand that not reporting something means supporting it and this way we perpetuate bad conduct by doing nothing about it.”
A values-driven, high performance culture at FNB Namibia upholds all four strategic Ps of the bank, namely profit, planet, people and partnerships, Kaumbi says.
