Over 25+ years since incorporation, the people at Heggies have developed a strong, self-aware culture based on integrity, honesty and excellence of service to the community and clients.
The company expresses this system of strong beliefs and values clearly and openly and attracts new staff members who are compatible with its culture and aligned with the Company's Code of Ethics:
|
A |
Staff members place their responsibility for the welfare, health and safety of the
community before their responsibility to sectional or private interests. |
|
B |
At all times, staff members place foremost emphasis on preventing incidents which
may cause injury or ill health to themselves or others in the workplace. |
|
C |
Staff members act with honour, integrity and dignity in order to merit the trust
of the community, clients and their professional peers. |
|
D |
Staff members act only in areas of their competence and in a careful and diligent
manner. |

E |
Staff members act with honesty, good faith and equity and without discrimination
towards all in the community. |
|

any other obligation under this Code. |
|
G |
Staff members shall not disclose confidential company or client information without
permission. |
|
H |

Staff members take reasonable steps to inform themselves, their clients and the
company of the social, environmental, economic and other possible consequences arising
from their actions. |
|
J |
Staff members express opinions, make statements and give evidence with fairness

Staff members will not knowingly omit from any finalised report any information
that would materially alter the conclusions that could be drawn from the report. |
|
L |
Staff members take reasonable steps to ensure that a client who overrules or neglects
the company's advice is made aware of the possible consequences. |
|
M |
Staff members continue to develop relevant knowledge, skill and expertise throughout
their careers and actively assist and encourage those with whom they are associated
to do likewise. |
|
N |

those who seek to uphold the Code when called upon or in a position to do so. |
