Empowering Our People and Enriching Our Communities Press Metal Aluminium Holdings Berhad SECTION 5 • DELIVERING SUSTAINABLE VALUE FOR OUR STAKEHOLDERS 184 Press Metal seeks to foster meaningful relationships with indigenous communities, supporting the preservation of their unique cultures and knowledge systems while adhering responsible and sustainable business practices. Implementing Ethical Security Practices Press Metal ensures the safety of our people and assets through the deployment of professionally trained auxiliary police officers across our operational sites. In Malaysia, the auxiliary police officers undergo rigorous training at registered centres, in compliance with the Police Act 1967, equipping them with the skills and awareness to perform their duties responsibly. Our SOP for Auxiliary Police, alongside adherence to the Voluntary Principles on Security and Human Rights, governs the conduct of the auxiliary police, ensuring alignment with human rights and labour standards. In China, security personnel operate in full compliance with the Civil Code of the People’s Republic of China. All security personnel will receive training on our Human Rights Policy, ABAC Policy, CoC, and procedures addressing anti-harassment, anti-abuse, and anti-forced labour. Harassment in the Workplace Press Metal is focused on cultivating a workplace that is safe, healthy and uplifting for every employee. Central to this pledge is our updated Human Rights Policy, which explicitly prohibits all forms of harassment, including sexual harassment, driving our zero-tolerance stance on behaviour that undermines dignity or well-being. A grievance reporting system has been established, providing employees with a formal channel to report incidents of harassment. This mechanism upholds principles of fairness, impartiality and confidentiality, allowing all concerns to be addressed with due diligence. Employees are encouraged to come forward without hesitation or fear of retaliation, nurturing a workplace environment built on respect, integrity and accountability. Upholding Children’s Rights Press Metal places the protection and promotion of children’s rights as one of the key aspects of responsible business practices. Aligned with the United Nations Children’s Fund Children’s Rights and Business Principles, our Human Rights Policy supports fundamental rights related to life, family, education, health, nutrition, water, identity, freedom and protection. In strict compliance with child labour laws, stringent recruitment procedures are enforced, ensuring no individual below the minimum age is employed. Additionally, we actively contribute to children’s welfare through targeted social investments and philanthropy, reflecting our broader commitment to societal well-being. Promoting Indigenous Rights Press Metal adheres to the rights of indigenous peoples, maintaining fair and equal treatment without discrimination while respecting their political status, social and cultural practices, and economic development. The Group also endorses the principles outlined in the United Nations Declaration on the Rights of Indigenous Peoples, integrating them into its Human Rights Policy. The Group endorses the Free, Prior and Informed Consent (“FPIC”) principles, making certain that indigenous communities are informed in advance and that consent is obtained without coercion before proceeding with any development initiatives. Engagement with indigenous communities is conducted with transparency and respect, protecting their rights and participation in matters related to Press Metal’s developments. These commitments were formalised in the SOP for Indigenous Peoples, which provided a structured framework for responsible engagement. The SOP encompasses key considerations to instil cultural protocols and differences across various aspects, including: Business and Operations Environmental Performance Human Resource CSR Other related issues at State, Federal or International Levels 05 04 03 02 01
