Section 3 UEM Edgenta Berhad FROM OUR LEADERSHIP 30 CHAIRMAN’S STATEMENT EMBODYING GOOD GOVERNANCE At UEM Edgenta, we are guided by the principles of integrity and excellence, principles that shape our operations and define our corporate ethos. Our journey in 2023 has been marked by significant achievements, underscoring our dedication to setting the benchmark in corporate governance and ethical conduct. In a momentous milestone for UEM Edgenta, we were honoured with the bronze award at the Integrity, Governance, and Anti-Corruption Awards (“AIGA”) 2023. This prestigious event, organised by the Malaysian Institute of Integrity (“INTEGRITI”), recognised our commitment to upholding the highest standards of integrity and good governance practices. Our success at AIGA, particularly as first-time participants, serves as a powerful testament to our dedication to fostering an environment where ethical practices are not just encouraged but celebrated. The criteria for AIGA’s evaluation are rigorous, incorporating the ISO37001 Anti-Bribery Management System (“ABMS”), the Malaysian Code on Corporate Governance and critical legal frameworks such as the Malaysian Anti-Corruption Commission Act 2009, Whistleblower Protection Act 2010 and the Bursa Listing Requirements. This accolade arrives on the back of our achievement in May 2023, when we were awarded the ISO37001 ABMS certification by the Standard and Industrial Research Institute of Malaysia (“SIRIM”). Further amplifying our commitment to eradicating corruption, we have forged a strategic partnership with Rasuah Busters, a leading anti-corruption non-governmental organisation (“NGO”). This alliance creates a united front against corruption, enhancing our anti-bribery and anti-corruption efforts. By joining forces, we aim to elevate our internal practices and extend our reach, benefiting not only UEM Edgenta employees but also the broader community. Through targeted activities and awareness campaigns, we are dedicated to cultivating a culture of integrity and accountability.
