Code Of Business Conduct (Heicode)

As the foremost and biggest brewer in Nigeria, we are committed to conducting business with integrity and fairness, with respect for the law and our values. This commitment is outlined in our Refreshed Code of Business Conduct (“Code”) which was launched in October 2023. The Code explains what we stand for as a company (we put our Values over value) and what is expected from all our stakeholders.

The key pillars of the Code are:

  • CARING FOR PEOPLE AND PLANET (Responsible alcohol, consumption, Human rights, Health and safety, Discrimination and Harassment).
  • MAINTAINING BUSINESS INTEGRITY (Competition Law, Bribery and corruption, Gifts, entertainment and hospitality, Conflicts of interest, Sanctions and money laundering),
  • PROTECTING OUR ASSETS (Financial integrity and fraud prevention, Use of Company resources, Information security and confidentiality, Data privacy, Intellectual property and Insider trading).
  • ENGAGING RESPONSIBLY WITH OTHERS (Business partners, Marketing, Sponsorships, Communication, Charitable donations and Political activities) and
  • SPEAKING UP (What does speaking up mean? What can you speak up about? When to speak up? How to speak up? What to expect when you speak up? and What’s expected of you when it comes to speak up?)

To give further practical guidance on these pillars, the Code contains underlying policies and guidelines such as Health and Safety Policy; Responsible Consumption Guide, Responsible Marketing Code, Policy on Insider Trading, Corporate Affairs Media Policy etc.

To ensure that the Code is understood and adhered to by our employees, annual mandatory trainings are organized online and offline. Third-party suppliers are not left out as they are also required to undergo periodic training on some topics of the Code such as the Anti-Bribery Training and complete an annual compliance certificate, while also ensuring that adherence to the Code is a fundamental term of their contracts. The Code is available for download by all employees through multiple internal web channels.
