Whistle Blowing Procedure

The Dagon Group has an established Code of Ethics, which sets out the standards of conduct expected in the management of its business. All employees or third party contractors who are related in term of businesses with Dagon Group are expected to carry out their duties in a manner that is consistent with the Code. As a conscious and vigilant organization, Dagon Group Limited believes in the conduct of the affairs of its constituents in a fair and transparent manner, by adopting the highest standards of professionalism, honesty, integrity and ethical behavior. When employees or others above mentioned third parties become aware of circumstances, which are not in compliance with the Code, then they should communicate their suspicions using the “whistle blowing” policy explained below.

 

Whistle blowing Definition

The term “whistle blowing” is most commonly used to describe when an employee (or ex employee) discloses wrongdoing within an organization. Such wrongdoing can include unlawful conduct, financial malpractice or dangers to the public or the environment. Public disclosure of confidential information about an organization could clearly be a breach of an employee’s contract, therefore special arrangements are needed to protect both the employee and the organization. It is important that the employee’s concerns about illegal or unethical activities can be raised without fear of victimization and that the organization is alerted to malpractice early so that it can be stopped and the perpetrators dealt with.

A whistle blowing procedure allows employees to raise concerns with management about the conduct of others that they consider to be in some way damaging to the organization or others within it.

 

Coverage of Policy

The Policy covers malpractices and events, which have taken place or suspected to take place involving:

  1. Criminal offense
  2. Failure to comply with any legal obligation
  3. A miscarriage of Justice
  4. Negligence causing substantial and specific danger to public health and safety
  5. Damage to Environment
  6. Deliberate improper business conduct
  7. Fraud and Financial Irregularities
  8. Violation of Human Rights
  9. Breach of Employee Code of Conduct or Rules
  10. Any other unethical, biased, favored, irresponsible event
However, it shall not be included to mismanagement, which may arise, from error or incompetence. Nor does it include a personal grievance, which should be pursued through the whistleblower’s line managers in accordance with local grievance procedure.

Procedure to be done if you have a concern about wrongdoing

Possible concern should be raised through line managers. Where it is believed that the line manager is the source of malpractice or that a group of managers are plotting in the malpractice, then the concern should be raised with a relevant divisional Chief Accountant or Directors. In circumstances where Divisional Chief Accountant or Directors are implicated then the issue should be raised to group level. This would usually be to the Chairman of the group or Managing Director or the Dagon Group. However, if you wish to raise the matter with someone independent of line management, contact can be made with either the HR Department or Director of Administration/Finance of Dagon International Limited.

 

Protection for Whistleblower

The Company provides necessary safeguards to all Whistle Blowers for making Protected Disclosure in good faith, in all the areas mentioned in the Coverage of Policy.

The Company agreed to:

No unfair treatment will be meted out to a Whistle Blower by virtue of his/her having reported a Protected Disclosure under this Policy. The Company, as a policy, condemns any kind of discrimination, harassment, victimization or any other unfair employment practice being adopted against Whistle Blower. Complete protection will, therefore, be given to Whistle Blower against any unfair practice like retaliation, threat or intimidation of termination/suspension of service, disciplinary action, transfer, demotion, refusal of promotion, discrimination, any type of harassment, biased behavior or the like including any direct or indirect use of authority to obstruct the Whistle Blower’s right to continue to perform his duties/functions including making further Protected Disclosure. The Company will take steps to minimize difficulties, which the Whistle Blower may experience as a result of making the Protected Disclosure. Thus, if the Whistle Blower is required to give evidence in criminal or disciplinary proceedings, the Company will arrange for the Whistle Blower to receive advice about the procedure, etc.

ACTIVITIES AND POLICY OF DAGON INTERNATIONAL LTD AND DAGON TIMBER LTD ON AGRICULTURE PROJECTS AND LAND ISSUES WITH FARMERS

6 Palm Plantation Tanintharyi Division, Kaw Thanung District Dagon Timber Ltd 1999 17976
  (2)      We are doing Agriculture Projects based on the under-mentioned  Objectives and Policies:-
  • Basically, our country is an Agriculture Based country and Industrial Sectors are not yet developed due to several constraints. In actual fact, even the agriculture sector is still lagging behind if compared to the neighboring countries like Thailand, China, India, Vietnam. The main reasons of the present position are due to lack of know-how, lack of preparation for proper infrastructure, and last, but not the least is the inability to inject enough sufficient investment to this Agri sector. For this, the Government also could not be able to support to the Agri sector and the farmers which is about 70% of our population. To fill this gap, Government invited us to invest in agriculture sectors and to bring the latest technical know-how, proper land preparation, use of agriculture machineries to turn into manual farming to mechanized farming, etc. By doing so, we will have to educate and prove the farmers to increase their production and at later stage, to improve their living standard accordingly. With this motive, and with the encouragement of the Government, our company become participated in Agri-sector of Myanmar.
  • When we are going to start one Agri-project, we have to secure the land. In this concern, the policy we always keep is that we never tried to ask a particular land from government. Instead, we just choosed the land which is already defined/ earmarked for project by the government.
  • We never take over the farm / the land in which the farmers are doing cultivation. We will take only un-used land in which we will need to develop or prepare to cultivable land by our own effort and investment.
  • Even that, there can be some farmers who are doing a few acres inside the project area, we plan to arrange with them by using one of the following options :-
    1. We will negotiate to buy their land at the prevailing market land price of that area.
    2. In case, they still want to do farming, we will buy the suitable plot of land/farm nearby the village which they proposed to us to substitute to them.
    3. If they (and their family members) want to work at our project, we are ready to accept/ appoint them as our agriculture staff and labour depending on their education and experience background.
    4. We also invite them to do contract farming with us if they wish to do so.
    5. Even then, if the farmers are still rejecting to accept the above options, we will return the land to them (farmers).
  • Moreover, we are ready to surrender to the government for some area which we are not still developed yet and if somebody, private or company, want to do agri-project properly.

  1. it is not made with the intention of influencing a third party to obtain or retain business or a business advantage, or to reward the provision or retention of business or a business advantage, or in explicit or implicit exchange for favours or benefits;
  2. it complies with local law;
  3. it is given in the DAGON INTERNATIONAL LTD’s name, not in individual’s name;
  4. it does not include cash or a cash equivalent (such as gift certificates or vouchers);
  5. it is appropriate in the circumstances - for example, in Myanmar, it is customary for gifts to be given at Myanmar Thadingyut Lighting Festival;
  6. taking into account the reason for the gift, it is of an appropriate type and value and given at an appropriate time; and
  7. it is given openly, not secretly.
Gifts should not be offered to, or accepted from, government officials or representatives, or politicians or political parties, without the prior approval of the Compliance Officer and/or Group Managing Director DAGON INTERNATIONAL LTD appreciates that the market practice of giving business gifts varies between countries and regions and what may be normal and acceptable in one region may not be in another. The test to be applied is whether in all the circumstances the gift or hospitality is reasonable and justifiable. The intention behind the gift should always be considered. It is not acceptable for an individual (or someone on his or her behalf) to:
  1. give, promise to give, or offer, a payment, gift or hospitality with the expectation or hope that a business advantage will be received, or to reward a business advantage already given;
  2. give, promise to give, or offer, a payment, gift or hospitality to a government official, agent or representative to “facilitate” or expedite a routine procedure;
  3. accept payment from a third party that you know or suspect is offered with the expectation that it will obtain a business advantage for them;
  4. accept a gift or hospitality from a third party if you know or suspect that it is offered or provided with an expectation that a business advantage will be provided by us in return;
  5. threaten or retaliate against another worker who has refused to commit a bribery offence or who has raised concerns under this policy; or
  6. engage in any activity that might lead to a breach of this policy.
DAGON INTERNATIONAL LTD only makes charitable donations that are legal and ethical under Myanmar laws and practices. No donation must be offered or made without the prior approval of the CSR Committee and the Managing Director. The prevention, detection and reporting of bribery and other forms of corruption are the responsibility of all those working for DAGON INTERNATIONAL LTD or under the Company’s control. As such, every staff at DAGON INTERNATIONAL LTD must ensure that he or she reads, understands and complies with this policy and must notify the Compliance Officer as soon as possible if believed or suspected that a conflict with this policy has occurred, or may occur in the future. Any employee who breaches this policy will face disciplinary action, which could even result in dismissal for gross misconduct. Training on this policy forms part of the induction process for all new employees and other workers. All existing employees and workers will receive regular, relevant training on how to implement and adhere to this policy. The Company’s strict approach to bribery and corruption must be communicated to all suppliers, contractors and business partners at the outset of its business relationship with them and as appropriate thereafter. The board of directors has overall responsibility for ensuring this policy complies with DAGON INTERNATIONAL LTD’s legal and ethical obligations, and that all those under the Company’s control comply with it.

It is important that all company proprietary information is kept confidential. Employees have a duty to safeguard company information, bearing in mind ethical, legal ramifications and government regulations. Information of commercial value or of a sensitive nature must be tightly controlled. For example, when releasing information to a third party for a bid proposal, a Non-Disclosure Agreement (format provided by legal department) should be signed by the third parties, and information released is on a need-to-know basis. Any trademark, copyrights, patents, designs, registered designs, proprietary information and all other intellectual property rights developed and commissioned by the company belong to DAGON INTERNATIONAL LTD.

This could also include inventions employees may create which relate to the company’s business, regardless of whether the invention or designs are patentable or are capable of being registered or copyrighted. Employees must report these inventions to the company and shall, at the company’s request and expense, disclose information relating to the invention and do what is required to obtain patents or industrial rights relating to the invention.

When employees leave the company for any reason, including retirement, they must return all the company’s property, including all documents and records in their possession, and they must not disclose or misuse company confidential information. Employees are also responsible for protecting information provided in confidence by any third party, such as a customer, supplier or a partner, after they leave the company. Disclosure of Official Documents, Information and Trade Secrets All documents, papers and information acquired in an employee’s official capacity or otherwise should be treated as confidential and trade secrets of DAGON INTERNATIONAL LTD. Employees must not copy, reproduce, extract, translate or in any way deal with them in a manner that is not authorized or allow others to do so, or disclose, publish or communicate them to the Press or to individuals whether directly or indirectly unless it is in the course of their official duties or if it is lawfully required or authorized by any Court of law or with authorization from the Management. This clause shall continue to apply even after they are no longer employed by DAGON INTERNATIONAL LTD. Conflict of Interest A ‘conflict of interest’ arises when employees have a competing professional or personal interest that would either make it difficult to fulfil their duties properly, or would create an appearance of impropriety that could undermine customer or public confidence. Employees must do nothing that conflicts with the interests of DAGON INTERNATIONAL LTD, or anything that could be construed as being in conflict, for example, participating in the evaluation/approval of award to a vendor in which an employee has a vested interest (either personally, or through close relatives). Employees should declare/disqualify themselves from handling transactions which put them, whether perceived or real, in a position of conflict. Employees must avoid all situations which could result in conflicts of interest. They should comply with reporting and disclosure requirements of potential or actual conflicts of interest, and disclose any matters which could reasonably be expected to interfere with their professional duties. Business Dealings Employees should not engage in any outside business dealings that involve or could appear to involve, a conflict between their personal interests and the interests of DAGON INTERNATIONAL LTD (i.e. conflict of interests). Employees must not have any direct or indirect financial or business interest in or dealings with competitors, suppliers, customers or anyone else with whom they are engaged in a business relationship on behalf of DAGON INTERNATIONAL LTD, which might or might appear to, create a conflict of interest, or impair the judgments they make on behalf of DAGON INTERNATIONAL LTD. They should also not engage in any personal business dealings which detract from or conflict with their employment in DAGON INTERNATIONAL LTD. Employees must avoid situations where their loyalties may be divided between DAGON INTERNATIONAL LTD’s interest and those of a customer, supplier or competitor. Employees must not take advantage of any opportunity for personal gain that rightfully belongs to DAGON INTERNATIONAL LTD. They should avoid putting themselves in any situation which might, or might appear to put them at a personal advantage, and they must report any potentially compromising situation to their supervisors promptly. Employment Outside DAGON INTERNATIONAL LTD Employees should not engage in any outside employment or hold any position without the prior written consent of a Director unless such employment has been arranged or is undertaken in connection with the performance of their responsibilities and duties. If employees are considering accepting an external appointment, they must consider if accepting this position may give rise to the possibility of conflict. If they have been given permission to take on such employment or to have other business relationships, they must ensure that these activities do not negatively affect their ability to fully and effectively perform their role for DAGON INTERNATIONAL LTD or DAGON INTERNATIONAL LTD’s reputation and/or its services to customers or DAGON INTERNATIONAL LTD’s current or future business plans. Insider Trading Employees must not use “inside” information – information which has not been made available to the public and which may materially affect a corporation’s stock price – as the basis for purchasing, or selling, shares in the company, or any other company with which they have dealings. Such information may include unannounced earnings, dividends or potential acquisitions. Employees must not engage in, or procure another person to engage in, any share transactions with respect to the shares of the corporation, whether it is for themselves, anyone else or for DAGON INTERNATIONAL LTD, when in possession of inside information. Gifts and Hospitality The acceptance of gifts from customers, existing and/or potential, business partners, suppliers, contractors, competitors or members of the public is prohibited as it may create a situation of conflict or potential conflict of interest. Retention of Gifts Gifts not exceeding US$100 or it’s equal value in MMK on date of occurrence, can be retained by the employee. All gifts exceeding US$100, or it’s equal value in MMK on date of occurrence, must be recorded in a registry maintained by the relevant business head detailing the description of the gift, the name of the person providing the gift and the manner in which such gift was disposed of. Gifts exceeding US$100, or it’s equal value in MMK on date of occurrence, can be retained by the employee if it has been declared to and approved by the relevant business head. It should be noted that retention of gifts is allowed only if they are received under non-obligatory circumstances. As business lunches/dinners are an accepted mode of hospitality, these need not be declared but care must be exercised while accepting such meals. These should be infrequent. The sole purpose must be for enhancement of a business relationship and not for reciprocity. Dealing with the Media It is important that news about all company activities – from new partnerships to new services – be properly coordinated. All media requests for information and interviews should be referred to the appropriate responsible or Head. Statements made in any online forum (e.g. web logs or blogs) or social networking sites (e.g. Facebook) are considered to be public statements. No comments regarding DAGON INTERNATIONAL LTD, its business, products, services, strategy or practices should be made without prior approval from Management.

Risk Management Policy

DAGON INTERNATIONAL LTD  
  DOCUMENT NO:   DIL 015/2018
  DOCUMENT TITLE:   RISK MANAGEMENT POLICY
  DATE:   08-08- 2018   REVISION NO: 001
    Risk Management Policy
  1. Statement of Policy
A “risk” is defined as anything that threatens to prevent DAGON from achieving its business objectives. It is the policy of DAGON to ensure that the risks are identified, analysed and managed systematically and appropriately. In order to implement its policy, DAGON aims to conduct effective risk management by operating the processes described below.
  1. Approach to Risk Management
The Board considers it essential that the various categories of risk are clearly identified and that appropriate senior management accountability is designated, which together with adequate risk management processes, ensures that the need to be conscious of and identify risk is part of the embedded management processes in DAGON. Included in the key categories of risk are:
  1.     Business development (Strategies/practices, joint ventures, acquisition and disposals) 2.      Financial management, cash flow and debt management 3.      Operational performance 4.      Statutory responsibilities 5.      Health and Safety 6.      Environment 7.      Reputation
The Board considers it essential that all levels of management and employees have knowledge of and are made aware of the types of risks involved in both planning activities and day to day performance aspects of the business. Apart from senior management accountability, every employee is responsible for managing risks in his or her work supported as necessary by expert advice and assistance, both internal and external. It is the Board’s aim to engender a culture in which risks are communicated to appropriate levels in DAGON and information on risk is shared through effective communication. This enables appropriate action to be identified and taken.        
  1. Risk Management Process
Risk management within DAGON is aimed to be comprehensive, systematic and continually improved and based on constant monitoring of business risks. Risk analysis identifies the risks to which DAGON is exposed, the basic causes of each risk, the impact of its potential realization and assesses how that risk should be managed. This includes analysis of DAGON’s operating environment, business processes and information used in decision making. Any negative consequences of taking a risk are compared with the benefit derived from it and decisions are made accordingly. Following risk analysis, DAGON shall determine whether the risk is acceptable. If it is decided that the risk is to be taken, then an assessment shall be made as to how the risk is to be managed, which may be by one or more of the following methods:  
  • Acceptance of the risk (i.e. do nothing) • Transfer of the risk to a third party (e.g. insurance or outsourcing) • Reduction of the risk (its impact or likelihood) through internal controls.
If a control system is adopted it should be assessed regularly and if necessary, improved. Details of the main risks that have been identified and the control systems applicable to them should be recorded in a risk register. This is continuously monitored and updated. The function of the risk register is to:     
  • Identify and prioritize the significant risks faced by DAGON
  • Identify owners for each risk • Set out methods by which each risk is managed             • Set out any action plan required to improve control mechanisms.
  1. Responsibility for Risk Management
The Board is responsible for identifying and managing the risks arising from the strategic objectives and policies which it sets. In addition, the Board has overall responsibility for risk management. The Board shall, on a quarterly basis, monitor and, where necessary, act upon the aggregation of risks across DAGON and the efficacy of the risk management process, including the actions to be taken. In addition, the Board shall undertake a formal annual review. Except in relation to the risks for which the Board has retained direct responsibility, the Board has delegated the responsibility for implementing the process of risk management to operational Managing Director/CEO. The responsibility is allocated in each and every concerned committee and department as well as business units. Operational Managing Director/CEO is responsible for ensuring that:            
  • The process of risk management is operated within the approval risk management policy framework and that it is implemented satisfactorily.
  • Key risks are identified and assessed, that management responsibility is properly allocated and that monitoring is carried out to ensure that risks remain adequately identified, analysed and controlled. Each business unit executive director or other identified risk owner shall be responsible for:
  • Regularly reviewing the risk register and ensuring that the risk management and control systems in their area are appropriate.
  • Developing an open and transparent culture for the identification and management of risk and encouraging employees to instil risk awareness in their behaviour.
  • Demonstrating that risk issues and any new risks are considered, via an explicit item on the Leadership Teams’ agenda.
  • Ensuring ownership of risks is properly allocated to permit clear responsibility for controls and action plans.
  • Ensuring that support and assistance is provided to all employees in fulfilling their individual risk management duties.
  • Ensuring that appropriate employees are aware of the key risk issues facing DAGON.
  • Providing quarterly reports on risk management activities to Board which should aim to assess the risks in the area covered and identify steps to mitigate such risks. Each employee shall, in the context of their business unit objectives, be responsible for:
  • Identifying risks surrounding their work. • Implementing and operation controls over those risks through application of DAGON policy and processes. • Highlighting any areas for concern (e.g. new risks, internal control weaknesses or breakdown) through normal management controls.
An internal management committee will be responsible for monitoring and overseeing the operation of the risk management process. It will report to the Audit Committee, Managing Director/CEO, the Board of Directors, at least on a bi-annual basis. In carrying out its monitoring function, the risk management committee aims to review the quarterly reports it receives from business units, to consider and, where necessary, make recommendations or changes to improve the effectiveness of  DAGON’s internal controls. Undertake an annual assessment, the results of which will be reported to the Audit Committee, to enable the Board to make its annual statement on internal control. In this context, the risk management committee aims to consider, in particular, any changes in the risk profile of DAGON, the scope and quality of the ongoing management of risk and internal control and the extent and effectiveness of the regular reporting and monitoring process.
