Sustainability

Governance and accountability

Clear standards for how we work, who they apply to and what happens when they are not met.

Responsible operations start with clear accountability

Governance at Wyvern Freight is set out in published policies: what is expected, who it applies to and how concerns are handled. No delivery deadline, customer demand or commercial objective justifies unlawful, dishonest or unsafe conduct.

Responsibility at every level

Our Code of Ethics applies to everyone who acts for Wyvern Freight, and we expect the same of those who work with us. On the road, our SHEQ standard divides operating responsibility between our operations team, drivers and depot teams, customers and partners.

Everyone who represents Wyvern Freight
Directors, employees and representatives act honestly, professionally and within the law. Where the law sets a higher standard than our Code, the higher standard applies.
Managers
Lead by example, respond properly to concerns and keep ethical conduct an expectation, not an exception.
Vendors, carriers and partners
Expected to operate lawfully, safely and ethically, and to follow the conduct, documentation and quality requirements of the work they do.
When standards are not met
Suspected breaches may be reviewed or investigated. Where misconduct is established, corrective or disciplinary action follows in line with the law and our policies.

The rules our work must follow

Cross-border road freight is regulated at every step. These are the compliance responsibilities set out in our Code of Ethics.

We are expected to comply with

Customs, trade, sanctions and border-control requirements, including those administered by SARS and ZIMRA
Anti-corruption law in South Africa and Zimbabwe
Competition law in South Africa, Zimbabwe and the regional markets we serve
Data protection under POPIA and Zimbabwe's Cyber and Data Protection Act
Accurate invoices, customs documents and shipment records

Risk is managed before freight moves

Every movement follows one operating thread: the cargo is scoped, hazards on the route and at each site are assessed, and the vehicle, documents and people are aligned before dispatch. Unresolved concerns are escalated before the truck leaves. Higher-risk and abnormal loads need a more detailed plan, and incidents feed back into how the next load is planned.
