[...] Board Oversight on Anti-Corruption Driving Anti-Corruption across MGB's Board of Directors have oversight on all anti-bribery and anti-corruption matters. This is achieved via the prior mentioned Sustainability Governance structure where ABC matters are brought to the Board's attention for further deliberation and decision-making. This may be in the form of whistleblowing reports or via informal reports/complaints made by employees or other stakeholders. MGB's zero tolerance stance on corruption is exemplified in its group-wide Anti-Bribery and Corruption ("ABC") Policy, which was formally adopted in FY2020. The ABC Policy can be viewed here: https://mgbgroup.com.my/investor-relations/. The Policy was developed in compliance to Section 17A of the Malaysian Anti-Corruption Commission ("MACC") Act 2009 and the ISO 37001:2016 Anti-Bribery Management System ("ABMS"). The ABC Policy explicitly defines what are constituted as acts of corruption, which are to be avoided and what action is to be taken, especially by staff when such incidents occur. The Policy entails key measures and guided points for the organisation in managing and addressing any risk or circumstances pertaining to bribery and corruption. The Policy works in tandem with the Group's Whistleblowing Policy and mechanism and towards preventing corruption in any forms within the organisation or in dealings with stakeholders, especially with its value chain partners. The ABC Policy is communicated to all suppliers prior to the awarding of contracts or commencement of any business dealing including tender participation. All suppliers are notified of the ABC Policy in writing. Suppliers and subcontractors are required to provide written acknowledgement of complying with MGB's ABC Policy to remain in contention to bid for contracts. As of 31 December 2021, 100% of suppliers have expressed their acknowledgement and commitment to abide by MGB's ABC Policy.
