1.1 Scope

The Eskom Supplier Integrity Pact (Integrity Pact) is applicable to Eskom Holdings SOC Ltd (including all

wholly owned subsidiaries) and all existing and potential suppliers (as per the definition hereunder).

1.2 Purpose

The integrity pact is a pact between Eskom and its suppliers that prescribes the “ethical behaviour”. Ethical

behaviour is desirable/acceptable conduct (actions and decisions) that will bring about good/appropriate

consequences/outcomes in the interaction with others. Ethical behaviour incorporates ethical values and

considers not only what is good for oneself, but also what is good for others. Eskom considers such behaviour

of paramount importance and expects every existing/potential supplier and its own employees/directors to

always act ethically and with integrity.

Eskom commits to ensuring that it implements a procurement policy/procedure that aligns to all applicable

South African laws and regulations, as well as the constitutional principles of fairness, transparency, equity,

cost effectiveness and competitiveness.

This document supplements all other relevant Commercial and Ethics related policies/codes/procedures.

1.3 Preamble

In order to achieve this purpose, all Eskom suppliers are required to read this Integrity Pact and to complete,

sign and submit the Integrity Declaration Form whenever they participate in any Eskom procurement process.

Eskom and its suppliers commit to honouring their respective obligations herein, and agree to refrain from

any form of dishonesty, fraud, and/or corruption throughout the entire procurement process, including

tendering practices that are in bad faith, unfair and anti-competitive (e.g., under-pricing/collusion/bid rigging)

4.1 Eskom’s suppliers accept that they will at all times:

4.1.1 Maintain an impeachable standard of integrity in all their business and personal dealings and take all

employees//directors, that may be perceived to be contrary to the constitutional principles of fairness,

and submit whatever information may be required regarding the parties involved.
