Fortifying ethics: anti-bribery, human rights and whistleblowing training

In 2022, CAML launched its compliance training in the Talent LMS system, a learning platform that features video presentations in various modules such as Anti-Bribery & Corruption, Human Rights & Modern Slavery and Whistleblowing.

The training platform is designed to provide a uniform set of informative video presentations to align knowledge across the operations and supplement site-based resources on company policies. The Talent LMS training is provided to risk-assessed employees, defined as employees who are in senior positions (including heads of department) as well as those employees who are deemed to be external-facing and, therefore, inherently face greater exposure to external pressures. The risk-assessment process to identify employees who should be provided with additional training is conducted annually by the General Counsel in conjunction with the sites’ General Directors and with input from the Human Resources departments.

Training is completed annually. As an example, the positions included in the 2023 training included those in the procurement and sales departments, senior managers, employees who take part in local government, employees who are present for ministerial inspections, community representatives and recruitment managers, and employees involved in applying for operational licences and permits.

Upon completing each module, employees are asked a series of questions to confirm understanding of the contents and must complete each question correctly in order to receive the certificate of completion. The risk-assessment criteria are calibrated every year, and next year CAML will consider the inclusion of union and employee representatives. The content of the video training presentations forms the basis for other training, including that provided to the Group’s on-site contractors and suppliers.
