NeftalyP487-1: Neftaly CEO Neftaly Malatjie Speech on the Purpose and Rationale for Launching the Policy
To the Chairperson of Neftaly, all Neftaly Royal Committee, all Neftaly Royal Chiefs, and all Neftaly Human Capital,
Kgotso a ebe le lena.
I am honored to launch the Neftaly Human Capital Third-Party Management Policy (NeftalyP487), which establishes a structured framework for engaging, managing, and monitoring third-party relationships that impact Neftaly Human Capital operations.
Third-party management is essential to safeguard the integrity, performance, and compliance of external partners, contractors, and service providers. This policy outlines procedures for selection, vetting, contracting, monitoring, and evaluation of third-party entities to ensure alignment with Neftaly values, standards, and human capital objectives.
By implementing this policy, Neftaly demonstrates its commitment to ethical partnerships, risk mitigation, and accountability in all external engagements.
My message shall end here.
