WHISTLEBLOWER POLICY
OLM Group believes in the conduct of its business and affairs in a fair and transparent manner by adopting the highest standards of professionalism, integrity, and ethical behaviour. Any actual or potential exceptions to the same would be a matter of serious concern of OLM Group. It is in the best interests of the organisation that such exceptions are reported for taking timely remedial measures, immediate as well as long-term. While OLM Group employees have always been expected to practise ethical behaviour and be vigilant to any exceptions coming to their knowledge, the same responsibility is now being codified by way of a "Whistleblower Policy”.
The said policy has been developed to ensure that compliance concerns are investigated confidentially, promptly, and to give protection to persons who disclose compliance concerns so that they report the same without any fear of victimisation or adverse action.
The Whistleblower Policy prohibits the performance of unfair treatment on whistleblowers and persons who have cooperated with investigations, and in addition, obligates all officers and employees to, in principle, immediately report to their superior if they learn of a legal violation, rule violation, or act that is contrary to public order and morals, etc. or have a suspicion that this may be the case, and if reporting to a superior is difficult, to consider other reporting channels available such as the email address stated in the final paragraph of this notice.
After receiving a report, based on the management of the designated information recipient, a review committee and investigation committee, investigation and corrective action, etc. will be formed with careful management of the reported information, and forthwith report the findings to the OLM Group Audit Committee. Appropriate action shall be taken against the offending employee.
Whistleblowing channels have been established both internally and externally. Any compliance concern can be emailed to integrity@orix.com.my.
