Environmental, Social and Governance Report (“ESG Report”)
環境、社會及管治報告（「環境、社會及管治報告」）
Anti-corruption
The Company has zero tolerance to corruption. As a matter of fact, the
Company is deemed a “public body” under the Prevention of Bribery
Ordinance (Cap. 201) to reflect the nature of the GETS services and the
Company’s market position as a major service provider granted a licence
by the Government of the Hong Kong Special Administrative Region (the
“Government”) in running important public functions. In this regard, Senior
Management and directors of the Company who will likely be regarded
as “public officials” for the purpose of the common law offence, have
been advised on their various liabilities under the common law offence on
“misconduct in public office”.
For employees in general, in order to comply with Prevention of Bribery
Ordinance (Cap. 201) and other relevant anti-corruption laws and regulations,
the Company has adopted a Code of Ethics and Conduct (the “Code”) which
is applicable to all employees of the Group. The Code which is subject to the
review and comment by the Independent Commission Against Corruption
(“ICAC”), provides the details about the liabilities as employees of a public
body. All employees are required to read the Code and understand and
observe them both in letter and in spirit at all times. They must observe the
prescribed standards of behavior when performing duties at work. The Code
addresses, inter alia, the following key areas:
– Proprietary and Confidential Information
– Conflict of Interest
– Prevention of Bribery
– Gifts, Gratuities, Hospitality
– Notification of Suspected Corrupt Conduct
– Personal and Private Dealings
To provide education to employees on anti-corruption, the Company invites
ICAC to conduct anti-corruption talk to the employees every year.
Moreover, the Company has whistle-blowing procedures to encourage staff to
report, on a confidential basis, any misconduct, dishonesty, corruption, illegal
activity or wrongdoing within the Company which they become aware of to the
Vice President (Internal Audit), who is the delegate of the Audit Committee.
If the whistle-blower believes that the Vice President (Internal Audit) has a
conflict of interest in the matter, the report can be made directly to the CEO.
Likewise, if it is believed that the CEO has a conflict of interest in the matter,
the report may be made directly to the Chairman of the Audit Committee or
the Chairman of the Board. No such report was received during the reporting
period.
