To reinforce our commitment to ethical business practices, we have implemented comprehensive training programmes, including awareness session and targeted engagements such as our Integrity Day event, which serve as key platforms to educate employees on corruption prevention and ethical decision-making. Our e-learning platform provide employees with essential knowledge on risk management and corporate integrity, ensuring they are well-equipped to navigate ethical challenges in their daily operations. These training modules include: • UEM Edgenta Code of Conduct – Reinforcing the ethical principles that guide employee behaviour and decisionmaking. • ABAC Guideline – Providing clear directives on preventing and addressing bribery and corruption risks. • Code of Conduct for Business Partners – Sets ethical expectations for business partners such as suppliers, contractors, and consultants. • Fundamentals of Risk Management – Enhancing employees’ ability to identify, assess, and mitigate business risks. By integrating these structured learning initiatives into our corporate framework, we strengthen our risk-aware culture, ensuring that ethical business practices remain at the core of our operations. Outlook Looking to the future, UEM Edgenta is focused on advancing its commitment to sustainability and ethical governance through a series of strategic initiatives. Our Risk, Integrity & Compliance Department (RICD) has developed a three-year Strategy Roadmap aligned with EoTF 2025, focusing on integrity, resilience, and a winning culture to strengthen sustainability governance. As part of this roadmap, we have introduced the Edgenta Integrity Plan (EIP) 2025-2027, aligning with the National Anti-Corruption Strategy (NACS), ensuring ethical business conduct while integrating sustainability.
