Purpose

 

Top Management is committed to establishing and maintaining a culture of integrity and ethical conduct in business dealings as well as a culture of two way communication with the employees, contractors, suppliers and customers. This whistle-blowing reporting mechanism is a key element of the Company’s willingness to receive information that may protect its interest.

This policy is intended to encourage employees and external parties to disclose any malpractice, impropriety, wrongdoing or misconduct of which may become aware of. It also provides protection for employees to report allegations of any malpractice without fear of adverse consequences. It seeks to maintain the confidentiality of the complainant and provides channels for the complainant to raise concerns anonymously if he/she so desires.

  • Fraud, Corruption & Theft
  • Accepting/giving bribes
  • Misappropriation of funds

  • Parties involved
  • Dates/period of time
  • Nature of concern/activity
  • Evidence (if anywhere possible)
  • Contact particulars of the complainant for additional information and feedback (e.g. an external email address created just for raising concern would suffice if the complainant wants to maintain anonymity)


    • What happens when you activate the Whistle Blower Policy?

    When you activate the Whistle Blower policy, the situation you report will be forwarded to IA for appropriate follow-up. Your report will be taken seriously. It will be addressed by appropriate people. Each report will be carefully evaluated before it is referred for investigation or resolution.
