Sound corporate governance is essential in positioning and prioritising sustainability within an organisation. At Tune Protect, our commitment to sustainability starts at the top, with our Board of Directors (“the Board”) that is committed to provide strategic guidance, oversee the management and uphold our responsibilities to our stakeholders. The Board is accountable for the Group’s sustainability strategy and reviews all major disclosures and key sustainability-related matters.
The Sustainability Committee (“SuCom”) was formally established in 2017 and is chaired by Group Chief Financial Officer. Since its establishment, SuCom is responsible to oversee all sustainability matters and plays a vital role in providing regular feedback and recommendations to the Board, that is ultimately accountable to our stakeholders. SuCom convenes every two months and reports sustainability progress to the Board on a quarterly basis. As part of SuCom’s mandate, we review our material sustainability matters on an annual basis and determine if there is a need to conduct a full materiality assessment process.
The Investors Relations and Strategic Projects (“IR&SP”) Department serves as a secretariat for SuCom, a gatekeeper and liaison between SuCom, Sustainability Working Group (“SWG”), and business units. The IR&SP Department manages the overall sustainability performance, including driving initiatives, monitoring deliverables and reporting. It also acts as the central point of contact for external stakeholders such as analysts, investors and media who are keen on gaining more insights and understanding of the Company’s sustainability directions and initiatives. The IR&SP Department actively updates and provides recommendations to SuCom for sound decisions-making or further recommendations to the Board.
SWG supports IR&SP in driving and managing the performance of Sustainability initiatives across the organisation. Meanwhile, Business Units are responsible for data collection for sustainability reporting and the implementation of sustainability-related initiatives.

Tune Protect is a financial holding company listed on the Main Market of Bursa Malaysia and complies with the Financial Services Act 2013 under the purview of Bank Negara Malaysia and Bursa Malaysia’s Main Market Listing Requirements. We operate with high integrity, transparency and good business ethics across the organisation.
We have within us a formal Code of Conduct (“CoC”) and various other policies pertaining to conflicts of interest, anti-harassment, equal opportunity and whistleblowing. Read more about our policies here.
The CoC and Group-wide policies lay the foundation for long-term trusting relationships with our colleagues, customers and partners, our approach to sustainability as well as ensure that we are aligned and working within the same parameters. The CoC covers three aspects:
- Respect in Our Workplace that sets out interaction boundaries and hiring best practices at our workplace;
- Respect for Our Business Partners which guides us on proper engagement with external parties; and
- Respect for Our Shareholders that summarises our commitment towards ensuring shareholder value.
The CoC demonstrates our commitment to doing business the right and ethical way.
We comply with all applicable laws and regulations in every jurisdiction that we operate in. We have zero tolerance for fraud, corruption and violation of laws and regulations. The tone for adherence on compliance and regulation matters are set right from the top, at the Board.
The management of compliance is governed and supported by the Group Compliance Management Framework which is a Board-approved framework that outlines the governance structure and key processes for identification, assessment and monitoring of compliance risks, ensuring compliance with applicable laws and regulations as well as internal policies and procedures. The Compliance Department directs and supports the development of overarching compliance policies and procedures while facilitating the implementation of policies and procedures across the Company. Business units are responsible for the implementation of the CoC as well as regulatory compliance policies and programmes.
Besides that, we have in place a Group Risk Management Framework with the objective of institutionalising vigilance and awareness of the management of risk across the Group. This framework provides a concise and holistic documentary standard as a single point of reference which outlines the broad overarching framework that provides direction for the management of all risk elements that the Group is exposed to. This framework addresses structure, people, policies, processes and activities required for the Company to manage key risks. Mandatory training and assessments for employees in the areas of workplace integrity have been part of our risk management strategy.
