Ajinomoto (Malaysia) Berhad's Codes and Policies
Code of Conduct
The Code describes the Company's expectations for the standards of professional conduct while doing business on behalf of the Company, and acts as a code of reference to assist the decision-making.
Encompasses issues ranging from the environment, human rights, product quality, and business transactions.
Whistleblower Policy
The Policy provides a safe space for employees to report any inappropriate conduct within Ajinomoto (Malaysia) Berhad.
The Policy ensures that whistle-blowers are protected from potential reprisals and corrective and preventive measures can be implemented in the event of confirmed misconduct.
Anti-Corruption and Bribery Policy
The Policy outlines Ajinomoto (Malaysia) Berhad's zero tolerance for Board members, employees, and business associates to engage in improper solicitation, bribery, and other corrupt actions in line with the Malaysian Anti-Corruption Commission (MACC) Act 2009.
Director's Fit and Proper Policy
The Policy outlines the baseline criteria for the fit and proper review and assessment of candidates' appointment to the Board or the re-election of Directors.
The Ajinomoto Group Policies (AGP), created by Ajinomoto Co., form the foundation of AMB's corporate culture. They set out our shared values and ethical standards, guiding how we run our business and how employees behave. The AGP includes 11 main principles, supported by detailed guidelines to ensure proper implementation. We keep these policies up to date through regular reviews, making sure they follow current laws and industry best practices.
To strengthen integrity and accountability, the Board updated the Whistleblowing Policy and Anti-Corruption Policy in June 2024. These changes encourage employees to report any legal violations, injustice, health, safety, or environmental risks, and any attempts to hide such issues. We also make sure new employees are informed about these policies during onboarding.
Our Risk Management Committee (RMC) oversees risk matters, carries out annual assessments, and reports findings to the Board for action.
