Integrity is the foundation of our business, ensuring that we operate with transparency, accountability, and fairness. Corruption undermines trust, disrupts sustainable growth, and exposes us to financial and reputational risks. We safeguard our business, protect our stakeholders and contribute to a responsible corporate environment. Our commitment to zero tolerance for corruption reinforces long-term sustainability and strengthens confidence in our operations. WHY IS IT IMPORTANT? We operate with integrity to ensure trust, accountability, and long-term sustainability. In 2024, we launched the second review of FGV Anti-Corruption Plan (2024-2027), which provides a structured framework with three strategies, seven key objectives, 28 main action areas, and 218 action plans to reinforce governance and ethical conduct. Clear policies, strong oversight, and a culture of ethical decision-making safeguard our operations and maintain a business environment built on transparency and fairness. GOVERNANCE OVERSIGHT AND REPORTING MECHANISMS Our governance structure defines clear roles and responsibilities to uphold ethical business conduct and ensure accountability in decisionmaking. The Board of Directors, supported by management committees, provides strategic oversight, while the BGRMC (Whistleblowing), comprising Independent Board Members, plays a key role in deliberating and deciding on cases investigated by the Whistleblowing & Detection Department of Group Governance Management Division (GGMD). This ensures governance breaches are addressed impartially and in alignment with established policies. WHAT IS OUR APPROACH? Anti-Corruption and Anti-Bribery Grievance Mechanism The Group Grievance Management Policy establishes a clear process for handling concerns raised by stakeholders. The Grievance Management Department (GMD) provides an avenue for grievances to be addressed and resolved, with the option for anonymity. Our plantation workers can also raise concerns through Suara Kami, a third-party platform that allows grievant to express and lodge their disputes in their preferred language, ensuring accessibility and confidentiality as their issues are escalated to GMD for appropriate resolutions. Whistleblowing Mechanism Our Whistleblowing Policy protects individuals who report improper conduct. Reports can be submitted through secure channels (hotline, email, online portal, letter, and in person) and are handled by the Whistleblowing & Detection Department to ensure impartiality. Retaliation against whistleblowers is strictly prohibited, with disciplinary action taken against violators. For further information on our Board and Management Committees, please refer to pages 183 - 184 of this report. To maintain transparency and accountability, we provide structured channels for employees and stakeholders to report concerns in a confidential and secure manner. 131 Sec 05 DRIVING VALUE THROUGH BUSINESS GROWTH (SUSTAINABILITY REVIEW)
