The Vision For The New Leadership Of The Durban Chamber is "In Business For A Better World"
2017-08-25
The new President, Mr Musa Makhunga, is very passionate about ensuring that the Durban Chamber leads business towards “Profit with Consciousâ€.
At the Annual Gala Dinner the first ever, “Durban Business Code of Ethicsâ€, will be launched. While Chamber members might have a Code of Ethics in their respective companies, the Durban Chamber is raising the flag of ethical leadership at a collective level.
At a time when South Africa and indeed Africa are staggering under the perceived modus operandi of “corruption†in doing business, the Durban Chamber is taking a view that says, “While we cannot determine the governance standards of government, labour or civil society, we can make a difference by leading business to put their hand up first and commit to raising the bar by subscribing to the better way of doing business – enshrined in the “Durban Business Code of Ethicsâ€. We believe we are leading a revolution, which will eradicate corruption in our life time, by taking accountability as business for our conduct in business ethics – government, labour and civil society will soon have to follow, if they still want to transact with business, as they ought to.â€
The Durban Business Code of Ethics will be launched at the Annual Gala Dinner on the 7th of September.
