It’s all about how we do things in Mangosat and NWNS , our business ethics.
And everyone who works in our organisation plays a part. Our values, purpose and ethics code define who we are and what we stand for, together.
Mangosat’s high ethical standards and our Code of Conduct provides guidance for dealing with customers, suppliers, other employees, competitors and the public with integrity and in an ethical and appropriate manner.
Our company respects international social compliance and environmental principles aimed at promoting and protecting human rights and the environment. Our policies align with the goals of several international standards, including the International Labor Organisation’s Declaration on Fundamental Principles and Rights at Work. These values are formalised in our Human Rights in Employment Policy and Instructions.
Mangosat’s Corporate Social Compliance team provides support to our business for integrating human rights into our owned and contracted operations, and advises on stakeholder interactions based on the Code of Conduct and International Corporate Social Responsibility standards. Should you have any questions regarding Social Compliance, please contact us at compliance-at-nwns.org
We compete vigorously but fairly, being honest, respectful and trustworthy in all our dealings. There’s nothing wrong with using every resource we have to gain a legitimate competitive edge: our people, our knowledge, our experience. But we always act ethically in line with our values, policies, the law and our regulatory obligations.
We believe in free markets. That means we respect the rights of our competitors to carry on their business, and we don’t pressure or coerce our customers into choosing us over our competitors.
We can only make public statements about other companies as long as they’re accurate, up-to-date and relevant, and we comply with our regulatory obligations and the law in terms of where we get our information.
But we’d rather talk about our own strengths than talk about our competitors.
At Mangosat we comply with all the laws that apply to our work including laws that apply internationally as for example the UK Bribery Act and US Foreign and Corrupt Practices Act.
In many countries we operate under licensed conditions or other regulations that may impose obligations, restrict what we can do, or mean we have to tell a government what we’re doing. All people working with Mangosat including staff, field support and our clients need to be aware of – and comply with – any regulation that applies to our work.
As any (global) company, we need to be careful about where we trade and who we trade with. This includes complying with embargoes and sanctions which have been imposed on certain countries, groups of countries, or individuals.
We Respect Human Rights And Each Other
Human rights recognize everyone’s inherent dignity and equality, no matter who they are or where they live. So we think particularly carefully about the rights of our employees, workers in our supply chain, our customers and the wider communities where we operate. We only want to work with people who choose to work freely, with rights to equal opportunity, freedom of association and collective bargaining.
Anyone at any time can report concerns about modern slavery to the Modern Slavery Helpline and Resource Centre online at http://www.modernslaveryhelpline.org.
Mangosat is committed to conduct its business with honesty and integrity and in compliance with the laws of all jurisdictions in which Mangosat is active.

Inspired by one of our customers: “Speak Up” is a confidential hotline that anyone who works for, with, or on behalf of NWNS can call, whatever country they work in. You can also raise your concern online and anonymously if you prefer, subject to local law.
Using “Speak Up” is often the best and safest way to raise a sensitive ethical issue with someone who isn’t connected to your team.
We know it can take courage to speak up. We’ll do whatever we can to support and protect you. And we won’t let anyone retaliate against you for reporting your concerns.
If someone tries to deter you from speaking up that’s a disciplinary offence in itself and we’ll deal with it seriously.

Compliance
We don’t tolerate bribery and corruption! Mangosat is committed to conducting its business with honesty and integrity and in compliance with the laws of all jurisdictions in which Mangosat is active.
Two laws of particular importance are the US Foreign Corrupt Practices Act and the UK Bribery Act 2010. Mangosat is also required to comply with the World Bank’s Anti-Corruption Guidelines, the United Nations Convention on Corruption, and the OECD Convention on Combating Bribery of Foreign Public Officials in International Business Transactions.
To ensure compliance with these standards and laws Mangosat has adopted this Code of Conduct on Corruption and Bribery. The full version can be downloaded as pdf.
It may happen that we ask our partners in the field to confirm compliance with our Code of Conduct. If not already covered by a partner agreement, Mangosat will use the online Ethical Self-certification tool especially developed for this purpose.
All Mangosat staff is certified according to international standards established by the United Nations.
Gifts and hospitality can be a normal and healthy part of building business relationships. But as Mangosat, we never offer or accept gifts, payments or hospitality to encourage or reward a decision.
We very well understand that different cultures have different attitudes to what’s acceptable. But as an international business serving prime customers, we need to respect these differences, while staying true to our ethics code.
Therefore, we’ve implemented a gifts and hospitality policy to help anyone involved to work out what we believe is or isn’t okay.
Sanctions are the regulatory restrictions applicable to dealings with certain countries/territories, governments, groups, entities, individuals, or controlled goods or services. The nature and extent of these restrictions may vary (i.e. limitations on import/export, controls on specific goods and services, restrictions on financial operations, etc.), and it is important that all parties involved understand the business implications.

To this end, Mangosat will comply with all economic and trade sanctions applicable to our business activities.
This Policy applies to Mangosat’s operations globally, including directors, officers, employees, contractors, and other third parties acting on behalf of the foregoing.
We protect the confidential and private details of our company, people and customers. Customers, businesses and public sector organisations trust us to handle their personal data safely and securely. Therefore, we have a set of binding rules which people working for, with and on behalf of Mangosat need to comply with.
These rules are summarised in our Privacy Principles. Everyone in Mangosat has a responsibility to make sure that we handle data in line with these rules, our customer contracts and data privacy laws. Never discuss or disclose data to colleagues (or people claiming to be colleagues) unless there’s a business need to do so.

Mangosat cares about its people, its partners and its customers and will take a positive approach to their health, safety and well being through the promotion of healthy behaviours to help them avoid illness or injury arising from their work.
Our goal is ‘zero avoidable harm’. To achieve this goal, we will commit resource and effort as well as measuring ourselves against publicly available targets.

The Mangosat Safe Work Method Statement (SWMS) is intended to support our field partners to understand the requirements that have been established to carry out potential high risk work in a safe and healthy manner.
Compliance is the state of being in accordance with established guidelines or specifications, or the process of becoming so.
Our definition of compliance encompasses our efforts to ensure that Mangosat and NWNS are abiding by both industry regulations and government legislation.
Compliance is for us a prevalent business concern, partly because of an ever-increasing number of regulations that require us to be vigilant about maintaining a full understanding of the regulatory requirements for compliance.
At Mangosat, we strive to deliver on our value of caring for the communities where we live and work – so the environment around us and the people we serve will have a better future.
Not just fancy words, this is how we really work and our statement is backed up by numerous of real life examples such as our Bigwa Farm & Orchard City in Tanzania.
Moreover, we seek to do business with suppliers and customers who share our social and environmental values, and to work to enhance the sustainability of their operations.
