Constitution

The current JC&C Constitution was adopted by Special Resolution at its Annual General Meeting held on 28 April 2016.

Code of Conduct and Whistleblowing

As a member of the Jardine Matheson Group, JC&C adopts the Jardine Matheson Group Code of Conduct (“the CoC”). The CoC requires compliance with all relevant laws, rules and regulations applicable to each business and proper standards of business conduct. The CoC sets out the standards and values that we uphold in operating our businesses, covering topics which include anti-competitive practices, tax compliance, business licences, exchange controls, information security, illicit payments and gifts, favours and entertainment, amongst others.

Our whistleblowing policy also encourages the early reporting of matters of serious concern that may affect the professional and compliant operation of our businesses and reputation.

Transparency, Anti-Corruption and Bribery

To enable us to better evaluate our anti-corruption effectiveness, we conduct twice-yearly control and compliance reviews on areas that include illicit payments and favours. We also require the reporting of matters of serious concern.

All JC&C employees undergo anti-corruption training and recertification every two years.

JC&C adopts a zero-tolerance stance to any form of Bribery and Corrupt Action, as set out in the Anti-Corruption and Bribery Policy.

Group Tax Governance (Singapore)

JC&C has put in place a Group Tax Governance Policy (Singapore), which sets out our approach towards conducting our tax affairs in Singapore. The policy outlines JC&C’s commitment to comply with tax laws and regulations, our view on tax, including tax risk culture and appetite, as well as our governance structure for managing tax risks and its approach to tax risk management.
