Whistleblowing

MISC is committed to the highest standards of integrity, openness and accountability in the conduct of its business and operations. It aspires to conduct its affairs in an ethical, responsible and transparent manner.

Recognising the above-mentioned values, MISC provides avenue for all employees of MISC and members of the public to disclose any improper conduct within MISC.

Employees can disclose any improper conduct (misconduct or criminal offence) through MISC's established internal channels. Such misconduct or criminal offence include the following:

• Fraud;
• Bribery;
• Abuse of Power;
• Conflict of Interest;
• Theft or embezzlement;
• Misuse of Company's Property; and
• Non Compliance with Procedure.

The above list is not exhaustive and includes any act or omissions, which if proven, will constitute an act of misconduct under MISC's Code of Conduct and Business Ethics (CoBE) or any criminal offence under relevant legislations in force.

Protection to Whistleblower

A whistleblower will be accorded with 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 MISC, 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.

Anonymous Whistleblower

Any employee or members of the public who wishes to make a report is not obliged to disclose his identity and may remain anonymous.

When in doubt please consult your superior or HR or Compliance Department (email to compliance@miscbhd.com)
