SUSTAINABILITY STATEMENT MATERIALITY MATTERS (cont’d) SUSTAINABILITY STATEMENT ETHICAL WORK CONDUCT AND POLICY Alongside our ABAC Policy and supply chain governance, Zetrix AI aims to fortify a high standard of ethics when it comes to business principles and practices. Therefore, the following codes and policies have been established to achieve this: Code of Conduct Code of Ethics Code of Business Ethics Defines the expected ethical conduct of Zetrix AI’s employees and intermediaries based on the Group’s core values and principles of integrity and responsibility. The Code of Conduct is based on principles in relation to trust, integrity, responsibility, excellence, loyalty, commitment, dedication, discipline, diligence and professionalism. The Code of Ethics is based on the principles in relation to sincerity, integrity, transparency, accountability and corporate social responsibility. The Code of Business Ethics sets out the standards of ethical business practices and conduct that the Group expects from all business associates of the Group. Non-Discrimination and Equal Employment Opportunity Policy Outlines issues related to racial discrimination, sexual harassment and other forms of inequity and prejudice, including revolting and threatening behaviours deemed inappropriate in Zetrix AI’s workplace environment. ABAC Policy Addresses any and all forms of corrupt behaviours, acts and practices that may cause Zetrix AI to be exposed to corruption in any form. This includes, but is not limited to, corruption, elements of bribery, gifts, improper payment or benefits, favours, misuse of power, theft, fraud, forgery of documents, money laundering, blackmail, using insider information for personal gain, political contributions and more. Whistle Blowing Policy Addresses the fully confidential channel where employees, vendors and any stakeholder can safely report corruption, or any other malpractices or grievances, without fearing punitive repercussions, such as retaliation, dismissal, victimisation, demotion, suspension, intimidation, discrimination, and more. The report will be received by the AC. Either an internal auditor or an appointed thirdparty investigator will subsequently investigate the whistle blowing reports. The Group’s AC also ensures whistle blowing channels remain open and accessible at all times. The policies above can be viewed and downloaded from our Investor Relations portal at https://www.zetrix.com/investor-relations/governance/. INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY (“IP”) IP continues to be a key differentiator for Zetrix AI, supporting the Group’s ability to strengthen its competitive position and deliver trusted technology-led solutions. Zetrix AI excels in technological advancements, particularly in developing and enhancing specific services that are essential, especially in response to shifts in demand. In addition, Zetrix AI has sought to stay ahead of evolving digital needs by expanding into blockchain early, including the development and launch of the Zetrix blockchain in 2022. This earlier move has supported the Group’s ability to build capabilities and credibility in Web3 infrastructure over time, and has positioned Zetrix as a platform that is increasingly considered for selected government and ecosystem applications where secure, trusted and interoperable digital solutions are required. To protect and sustain long-term value, Zetrix AI continues to maintain and safeguard its IP assets and trademarks amid increasingly dynamic market conditions. Zetrix AI has also, when necessary, leveraged existing IPs, technology and registered trademarks to respond proactively to many issues and opportunities, namely healthcare and blockchain. 99
