UCS Technology Services, a leading solutions provider to South African retailers, underscores its commitment to best business practice and corporate transparency with its being awarded a Trace International Membership Certification. This globally recognised accreditation endorses UCS TS's commitment to transparency and anti-bribery in its transactions, and augments a well-defined set of corporate values informing UCS TS's solid business governance.
Trace, a non-profit member organisation, provides anti-bribery compliance solutions to companies and their intermediaries worldwide. Its core offerings of due diligence reporting, model compliance policies, anti-bribery training, and research on corporate best practices, speak to UCS TS's culture of integrity and openness.
UCS TS holds itself to the highest standards of governance in its business operations both locally and internationally, and aligns to stringent controls in the pursuit of objectives. In submitting to an international due diligence review of business practice, UCS TS emphasises its commitment to customers, business partners and open, honest marketplace transacting. The awarding of the Trace membership "has been made possible through our staff's understanding of and alignment to corporate values", says Saul Gorin, CEO.
Compliance to locally-accepted measures of corporate governance is simply not enough in an increasingly tough global market - solutions providers have to proactively address the business and ethical demands of international transacting. Trace membership resources will provide relevant and ongoing support for UCS TS staff to help them recognise, understand and respond to the ethical challenges they face.
The designation signals UCS TS's efforts to ensure commercial transparency in balancing the interests of its stakeholders; including shareholders, management, business partners, retail customers and the community.
