supported, can develop their skills, and have a clear understanding of our business objectives.
We are committed to ensuring that our entire business is conducted according to rigorous professional,
ethical and legal standards. To support this, we shall develop a Code of Ethics/Organizational Culture
and Code of Business Conduct, which should seek to define what we stand for as an organization, and to
bring employees under a clear, common purpose.
Additionally, we:

CBS will work with governments and agencies to support and respect human rights within our sphere of
influence.
CBS will not tolerate human right abuses, and will not engage in or complicit in any activity that solicits
or encourages human rights abuse.
CBS will always strive to build trust, deliver mutual advantage and demonstrate respect for human

CBS will contribute to our host communities’ quality of life by supporting innovation programs in health,
education, social services and the environment, as well as cultural and civic projects.
a) Education
At CBS, we believe in the power of expression and education. The social and economic future of the
nation can only be molded through education, prompting us to provide moral and financial support in the
education sector through our CSR initiatives.
b) Health & Safety
Environmental pollution is an integral part of our larger community and the negative effect of this cannot
be over emphasized. While the larger community is constantly being endangered, through periodic
screening, we at CBS aim to detect the killer diseases and ailments in time before they escalate into
something worse. Productivity can only be achieved when there is sound health.

c) Donations
Our duty to the community cannot be effectively fulfilled without being part of their way of life.
Through donation, we aim to support and contribute to the well-being of the people financially
depending on their needs because the public are our family.

CBS would strive to provide employment and economic opportunities to the communities where we
operate.
