Anti-Corruption

Management Approach

JMT is committed to conducting its business with integrity, transparency, and fairness, in accordance with good governance and corporate governance principles. The company focuses on its responsibility towards society and all stakeholders to demonstrate its firm stance against and non-support for any activities related to corruption. As such, the company officially declared its intention to join the "Thai Private Sector Collective Action Against Corruption" (Thai CAC) program in 2022 and is dedicated to operating with transparency and fairness in all aspects of its business.

The group is focused on fostering a culture of anti-corruption and anti-bribery among employees at all levels to have a positive impact on business operations. The company conducts training and encourages all employees to perform their duties with honesty, integrity, and responsibility continuously. The company considers all forms of corruption and bribery unacceptable and promotes employees to carry out their work with ethics and moral standards.

To this end, the company has developed an "Anti-Corruption Policy" and regularly reviews it to ensure it stays up-to-date and aligned with the current situation. This policy applies to all parts of the organization working with the company, including subsidiaries, joint ventures, business representatives, and partners. It also applies to the board of directors, executives, and employees at all levels, providing a framework for operations in strict adherence to integrity, governance, and ethical practices to prevent the abuse of power and to curb behaviors related to fraud, bribery, and all forms of corruption. Additionally, the Anti-Corruption Policy serves as a guideline to ensure business operations comply with the law, as detailed in the company’s business code of ethics and anti-corruption policy.

The company has communicated the anti-corruption policy to all employees to ensure thorough understanding. All employees must sign to acknowledge the policy, which is part of the company's work regulations. Furthermore, the company organizes annual training to review knowledge and understanding of the anti-corruption policy, fostering continuous awareness and nurturing an organizational culture that rejects corruption and bribery.
