Our Governance

ALIGNMENT WITH UN SDGs
  • SUSTAINABILITY FRAMEWORK
  • GOVERNANCE STRUCTURE
  • STAKEHOLDER ENGAGEMENT
  • BUSINESS ETHICS AND COMPLIANCE

The Tune Protect Group Sustainability Framework is underpinned by four key pillars – Our Governance, Our Business, Our Environment, and Our People & Community. Each pillar contains material topics focused on the voice of our stakeholders and the environment, as well as our own values and ambitions. The framework also makes sure that we are able to continually improve our sustainability performance over time. Our Sustainability Framework is rooted in the core principles outlined in our Governance pillar, which reflects our commitment to environmental, social and economic pillars. Each material issue is then divided into four major pillars and aligned to the relevant UN Sustainable Development Goals. This allows us to identify the key areas of impact and strategically deploy initiatives and enhancements to maximise our positive contributions.

Our Sustainability Committee (“SuCom”) and the Board of Directors (“The Board”) evaluate all material topics annually to ensure their continued relevance and to determine whether new material topics need to be included. SuCom is our management level sustainability oversight committee, and drives the strategic management of material sustainability matters to assist The Board. SuCom aids the Board by monitoring its strategic sustainability concerns and overseeing the implementation of sustainability strategies and operations.

The Group strives to uphold the highest standards of business ethics, transparency, integrity and accountability to prevent any violations to laws and regulations as unethical practices would bring about financial and reputational risks to our Group and even result in fines and potential incarceration of those found guilty. To this end, we prioritise integrity and honesty in all that we do and expect the same conduct from our existing and future employees and third parties which we have and will engage.

The Group has in place a Code of Conduct (CoC) and Code of Business Conduct for Third Parties (CoBC), which places emphasis on how we expect our Directors, Management, employees and partners to conduct themselves.
All employees are mandated to complete a Group-wide CoC online training module during the Annual CoC Month campaign, with a multiple-choice questionnaire-based assessment at the end of the training pertaining to the CoC, ABC and Whistleblowing.
The Group’s ABC Policy is implemented through the four key themes of prevention, detection, monitoring and response. In addition, the policy also emphasises the Group’s perspective on the giving and receiving of gifts, acts of hospitality, entertainment, donations, sponsorship and political contributions.
We conduct regular face-to-face and/or virtual ABC workshops for new recruits including consultants, contractors, vendors and interns soon after they join or start their engagement with Tune Protect. Topics covered also include an overview of our CoC.
We remain guided by our Personal Data Customer Confidentiality and Information Asset Risk Management Policy which is in compliance with BNM’s Policy Document in Management of Customer Information and Permitted Disclosures as well as the PDPA.
Tune Protect is dedicated to upholding the highest standards of human rights in its operations and those of its subsidiaries. We are guided by our CoC, which is aligned with internationally recognised human rights frameworks, including the Universal Declaration of Human Rights, the United Nations Guiding Principles on Business and Human Rights (UNGPs) and the International Labor Organization (ILO).
