Tropicana and its subsidiaries are committed to conducting business ethically in compliance with all applicable anti-bribery and anti-corruption laws of the country in which the Group operates. The Group does not condone any form of bribery and corruption. Our Anti-Bribery and AntiCorruption Policy (“ABAC Policy”) provides guidance on how to prevent, deal with and combat bribery and corrupt activities and issues that may arise in the course of business. The Policy applies to all employees, directors (executive and non-executive) and any person who performs services for or on behalf of the Group, which includes contractors, sub-contractors, consultants, suppliers, agents, intermediaries and representatives of the Group. All new recruits as well as employees promoted, transferred and in exposed positions are being informed and made aware of the ABAC Policy by the Group Human Resources which is available in the employee portal for easy reference. Meanwhile, the Group Internal Audit, an independent authority, has oversight of the implementation of compliance controls related to this policy. The Head of Group Internal Audit reports directly to the Audit Committee, the Group Management Committee and the Board of Directors. The Risk Management Team conducts regular risk assessments to identify bribery and corruption risks potentially a ecting the Group. A whistleblower will be accorded the protection of confidentiality of identity, to the extent reasonably practicable. In addition, an employee who whistleblows internally will also be protected against any adverse and detrimental actions for disclosing any improper conduct committed or about to be committed within the Group, to the extent reasonably practicable, provided that the disclosure is made in good faith. Such protection is accorded even if the investigation later reveals that the whistleblower is mistaken as to the facts and the rules and procedures involved. Upon the completion of the whistleblowing process and procedures, the whistleblower will be accorded the privilege to be notified of the outcome of the disclosure. ANTI-CORRUPTION & WHISTLEBLOWING POLICY Any improper conduct, enquiries and reports related to whistleblowers can be approached through Head of Group Human Resources by email to whistleblower@tropicanacorp.com.my For the year under review, there were no proven incidents of corruption involving employees, or legal cases related to fraud, bribery or corruption brought against us. 130 ANNUAL REPORT 2023
