  1.  Background

The main item of legislation relevant to TNB in the context of anti-bribery is the Malaysian Anti- Corruption Commission Act 2009 (“MACCA”). Specific offences under the Act include accepting gratification, corruptly procuring a withdrawal of tender, bribery of an officer of a public body, bribery of a foreign public official, and using office or position for gratification. Upon conviction of bribery- related offences, TNB as a company may receive a significant fine and suffer lasting damage to its finances and reputation. In addition, the company’s directors and personnel may face fines, imprisonment or both. This matter is therefore to be taken with the utmost seriousness by all parties involved in conducting the business of TNB. Having a clear and unambiguous policy statement on TNB’s position regarding bribery forms the cornerstone of an effective integrity management system.

This anti-bribery policy has been developed as part of the much larger TNB Corporate Integrity Management System (TCIMS) and should be read in conjunction with its supporting documents. If multiple documents speak on the same subject, then the most stringent provision always applies.


  1.  Objective

This policy sets out TNB’s overall position on bribery in all its forms.


  1.  Scope

This policy is applicable to TNB, the BOD and TNB Personnel along with its Controlled Organisations, their BODs and personnel (together, TNB or the TNB Group); also the BODs and personnel of Business Associates when they are acting on TNB’s behalf.

Bribery

Bribery is defined as any action which would be considered as an offence of giving or receiving ‘gratification’ under the Malaysian Anti-Corruption Commission Act 2009 (MACCA).

In practice, this means offering, giving, receiving or soliciting something of value in an attempt to illicitly influence the decisions or actions of a person a position of trust within an organisation.

‘Gratification’ is defined in the MACCA to mean the following:

  1. money, donation, gift, loan, fee, reward, valuable security, property or interest in property being property of any description whether movable or immovable, financial benefit, or any other similar advantage;
  2. any office, dignity, employment, contract of employment or services, and agreement to give employment or render services in any capacity;
  3. any payment, release, discharge or liquidation of any loan, obligation or other liability, whether in whole or in part;
  4. any valuable consideration of any kind, any discount, commission, rebate, bonus, deduction or percentage;
  5. any forbearance to demand any money or money’s worth or valuable thing;
  6. any other service or favour of any description, including protection from any penalty or disability incurred or apprehended or from any action or proceedings of a disciplinary, civil or criminal nature, whether or not already instituted, and including the exercise or the forbearance from the exercise of any right or any official power or duty; and
  7. any offer, undertaking or promise, whether conditional or unconditional, of any gratification within the meaning of any of the preceding paragraphs (a) to (f).

Bribery may be ‘outbound’, where someone acting on behalf of TNB attempts to influence the actions of someone external, such as a Government official or client decision-maker.

It may also be ‘inbound’, where an external party is attempting to influence someone within the TNB Group such as a senior decision-maker or

someone with access to confidential information.

Business Associate

An external party with whom the organisation has, or plans to establish, some form of business relationship. This may include clients, customers, joint ventures, joint venture partners, consortium partners, outsourcing providers, contractors, consultants, subcontractors, suppliers, vendors, advisers, agents, distributors, representatives, intermediaries and investors. A Business Associate may also be referred to as a Third Party,

particular if the associate is acting on behalf of the organisation.

Conflict of Interest

When a person’s own interests either influence, have the potential to

influence, or are perceived to influence their decision making at TNB.


Controlled Organisation

An entity where TNB has the decision-making power over the organisation such that it has the right to appoint and remove the management. This would normally be where TNB has the controlling interest (>50% of the voting share ownership), but it could be where there is an agreement in place that TNB has the right to appoint the management, for example a joint venture where TNB has the largest (but still <50%) allocation of the

voting shares.

Corporate Gift

Something given from one organisation to another, with the representatives of each organisation giving and accepting the gift. Corporate gifts may also be promotional items given out equally to the general public at events, trade shows and exhibitions as a part of building the company’s brand. The gifts are given transparently and openly. Corporate gifts normally bear the company name and logo. Examples of corporate gifts include items such as diaries, table calendars, pens, notepads, plaques, and festive gifts such as hampers, oranges and dates. See also Personal Gift below.

Corruption

The Transparency International definition is used for the TCIMS: ‘The abuse of entrusted power for personal gain.’ See the definition for ‘bribery’, which is the term used primarily in the TCIMS.

Exposed Position

A staff position identified as vulnerable to bribery through a risk assessment. Such positions may include any role involving: procurement or contract management; financial approvals; human resource; relations with government officials or government departments; sales; positions where negotiation with an external party is required; or other positions which the company has identified as vulnerable to bribery.

Facilitation Payment

A payment or other provision made personally to an individual in control of a process or decision. It is given to secure or expedite a routine or administrative duty or function.

Hospitality

The considerate care of guests, which may include refreshments, accommodation and entertainment at a restaurant, hotel, club, resort, convention, concert, sporting event or other venue such as company offices, with or without the personal presence of the host. Provision of travel may also be included, as may other services such as provision of guides, attendants and escorts; use of facilities such as a spa, golf course

or ski resort with equipment included.

  1.  Policy
    1. Anti-Bribery Policy
      1. Our policy is that bribery in all its forms related to TNB’s activities is prohibited.
      2. Bribery may take the form of anything of value, such as money, goods, services, property, privilege, employment position or preferential treatment. TNB Personnel and its Business Associates shall not therefore, whether directly or indirectly, offer, give, receive or solicit any item of value, in the attempt to illicitly influence the decisions or actions of a person a position of trust within an organisation, either for the intended benefit of TNB or the persons involved in the transaction.
      3. The anti-bribery policy applies equally to its business dealings with commercial (‘private sector’) and government (‘public sector’) entities, and includes interactions with their directors, personnel, agents and other appointed representatives at all levels. Even the possible appearance of bribery is to be avoided, in particular when dealing with government officials.
      4. The anti-bribery policy applies to all countries worldwide, without exception and without regard to regional customs, local practices or competitive conditions.
      5. Therefore, TNB does not permit Facilitation Payments even when they are customary under the circumstances.
      6. TNB holds a ‘No Gifts’ Policy. However, there are certain exceptions. Gifts and hospitality are acceptable provided they (1) are limited, customary and lawful under the circumstances; and

(2) do not have, or are perceived to have (by either the giver or the receiver), any effect on actions or decisions. Specifically, with respect to gifts and hospitality, (a) there should be no expectation of any specific favour or improper advantages from the intended recipients; (b) the independent business judgment of the intended recipients must not be affected; (c) there


must not be any corrupt / criminal intent involved; and (d) the giving out of the gift and hospitality must be done in an open and transparent manner. Further details are set out in the Gifts, Hospitality and Related Benefits Policy.

      1. It is TNB’s policy that no employee or external party will suffer demotion, penalty or other adverse consequences for refusing to pay or receive bribes or other illicit behaviour, even if such refusal may result in the company losing business or experiencing a delay in business operations.
      2. TNB recognises the value of integrity in its personnel and directors. Personal integrity should be considered as a part of TNB’s approach to recruitment, training, performance evaluation, remuneration, and promotion.
      3. TNB does not offer employment to prospective personnel in return for their having improperly favoured TNB in a previous role.
    1. Recognition of local and international legislation
      1. TNB is committed to observing the laws and regulations which govern our operations in every country where we do business.
      2. Basic Prohibition: TNB is committed to conducting its business ethically and in compliance with all applicable laws and regulations, including but not limited to the Malaysian Penal Code (revised 1977) (and its amendments), the Malaysian Anti-Corruption Commission Act 2009, (and its amendments), the Companies Act 2016 (Malaysia), the US Foreign Corrupt Practices Act 1977 (amended 1998), and the UK Bribery Act 2010. These laws prohibit bribery and mandate that companies establish and maintain accurate books and records and sufficient internal controls.
    2. Business Associates
      1. TNB may be held legally responsible for the actions of Business Associates acting on its behalf (commonly called a ‘Third Party’). As such, care must be taken to ensure that such entities do not attempt to engage in bribery. If concerns about a Business Associate persist, TNB must not engage or use the services of the entity.
      2. TNB must ensure that all Business Associates acting on behalf of TNB contractually agree to comply with this policy, particularly the Basic Prohibition in 7.2, and other relevant TNB policies, which sets out TNB’s general position on integrity and business ethics.
      3. Due diligence should also be carried out with regards to any Business Associate intending to act on the company’s behalf as an agent or in other representative roles, to ensure that the entity does not commit an act of bribery in the course of its work with TNB. Due diligence should be based on a bribery risk assessment. Due diligence may include a search through relevant databases, checking for relationships with public officials, and documenting the reasons for choosing one particular Business Associate over another. The results of the due diligence process must be documented, retained for at least seven years and produced on request by the custodian of the process.
