Whistleblowing

UEM Edgenta is committed to the highest standards of professionalism, honesty, integrity and ethical behaviour in the conduct of its business and operations.

Anyone who has knowledge or aware of any improper conduct(s) committed or about to be committed within UEM Edgenta is encouraged to report such matters, in good faith without fear of reprisal.

Please be assured that your ethical concerns will be investigated according to established procedures. Your support will help us to live up to our aspirations of being responsible employees and members of the public.
