Zenith is structured so as to ensure clear oversight, accountability and challenge at all levels. Conducting business responsibly means being open and transparent, and always nurturing good corporate governance.

Aim high

To ensure these aims are met, we operate boards and committees, covering all aspects of business and operations. This enables the business to be more agile, deliver better products and services, and ensure the best outcomes for our customers.

GOVERNANCE IN DETAIL

We do business with integrity, fairness and transparency. We operate frameworks and embed policies and procedures to achieve best practice and comply with applicable laws and regulations. We combine these policies and procedures with appropriate technical and organisational measures, regularly assessing risks to the business, all our stakeholders, and the wider public good.

Our legal and compliance teams and divisional representatives work together to develop and maintain those supporting policies and frameworks, covering areas including the prevention of tax evasion, anti-fraud, bribery and corruption, anti-money laundering, whistleblowing and conflicts of interest.

For an overview of our legal and regulatory frameworks and controls please go to our annual report.

  • Deliver great customer outcomes through our people, systems, and processes
  • Tackle financial crime and promote awareness among our stakeholders
  • Promote human rights and tackle modern slavery and human trafficking
  • Ensure our partners and suppliers uphold and promote the same values, standards, and business practices
