Whistleblowing

Our open-door policy enables employees to speak

directly with all levels of management about their ideas

or concerns. We also provide other ways for employees

and external stakeholders to report concerns, such as that

all of our operations have grievance mechanisms that are

accessible, accountable and fair and in all cases, consequence

management (e.g. official warning, suspension, dismissal) is in

place. The Group’s Whistleblowing Policy sets out guidelines

for individuals wishing to report possible fraud, illegal acts or

misconduct and we make every effort to provide appropriate

protection and protect the confidentiality of those who

raise such concerns. The Group Internal Audit and Group

Human Resource Departments are empowered to conduct

investigations of suspected and reported incidents.

Benefits & Welfare

The group ‘s compensation system involves fixed and variable

components, based on the employee’s job grade. Each

location within the Group has its own locally defined employee

benefit schemes. For eligible employees, these include:

• contributions to retirement fund;

• outpatient, specialist and treatment for employees, spouse

and eligible children;

• group life and personal accident insurance;

• alternative working hours

• provision of housing with clean running water and

sanitation to our plantation workers; and

• provision of lunch for our production workers at IFC.

The Group pays at least minimum wage as required by law in

the countries in which the Group operate and in no areas of

operation does minimum wage varies by gender.

PTNJL’s employee wellness is managed through an on-site

clinic with full-time clinical assistants. PTNJL also offers free

transportation for workers’ children to nearby schools in the

area. There is also a crèche in the estate, which is subsidised

by the company that caters to the needs of plantation staff and

workers. The provision of these facilities has enabled women to

join the workforce of PTNJL and, to some extent, reduced the

number of children accompanying their parents to the field due

to lack of supervision at home.

Community Contributions

We believe in contributing economically and socially to the

well-being of the communities where we conduct business.

With businesses across Malaysia, Indonesia and Papua New

Guinea, the Group has a local footprint in many communities.

Our approach to community engagement is driven and

managed by our businesses to ensure value is created in ways

that best fit with their operations and geographic spread.

Sustainability : Social

In response to the Covid-19 pandemic, the Group donated

68,000 face masks to various hospitals and government

agencies which are then distributed to their frontline and

enforcement personnel. PTNJL in Indonesia carried out

cleaning and disinfection at its workers housing complex

and other public areas such as halls, mosques and clinics.

Meanwhile the Group management team had rallied

together by combining their time and resources to mobilise

care packages comprising of essential food items to 857 of

our non-executive employees (both local and foreign) and

to over 2,000 poor families nationwide.
