Zimbabwe’s telecommunications company NetOne today signed the Corporate and Integrity Pledge as a sign and commitment to fight against corruption.
The ceremony, held at Rainbow Towers , underscored the company’s commitment to promoting ethical behavior, good governance, and accountability in all its operations.
The pledge was signed by the NetOne Board led by Engineer Taurai Maurikira , and the Management Team, headed by Group CEO Raphael Mushanawani.
The event was graced by the Chairman of the Zimbabwe Anti-Corruption Commission (ZACC), Mr. Michael Reza, who applauded NetOne for taking this significant step in fostering transparency and combating corruption.
In his address, Raphael Mushanawani emphasized the critical role of integrity in advancing corporate governance and national development. “Unethical behavior, particularly corruption, is one of the greatest challenges undermining good governance and distorting public policy. By committing to this pledge, we are declaring that integrity is non-negotiable at NetOne,” he said.
Mushanawani acknowledged the complexity of eradicating unethical practices, noting that no single entity can tackle corruption alone. “The fight against corruption requires a collective effort. The establishment of integrity committees and the adoption of integrity pledges are crucial measures in addressing this challenge,” he remarked.
As the first telecommunications company to adopt the pledge, NetOne has set a precedent in demonstrating corporate leadership in ethics and accountability. The event was a testament to the organization’s resolve to be a leader in fostering a culture of integrity within Zimbabwe’s corporate sector.
The Zimbabwe Anti-Corruption Commission, represented by its chairman, expressed hope that other state-owned enterprises and private entities would follow NetOne’s example, creating a ripple effect in the fight against corruption.
NetOne’s move not only signals a new chapter for the organization but also serves as a reminder that ethical conduct is the foundation of sustainable growth and trust in both the public and private sectors.
