Kgotso a ebe le lena.
I am honored to launch the Neftaly Human Capital Source Management Policy (NeftalyP460), which provides a comprehensive framework for identifying, managing, and utilizing reliable sources of information, data, and resources within Neftaly operations.

This policy establishes procedures for sourcing information, validating reliability, documenting references, and managing data and knowledge resources.
By implementing this policy, Neftaly enhances the integrity, transparency, and effectiveness of its operations and ensures that Human Capital consistently works with accurate and verifiable sources.
My message shall end here.
