Constitution

The Companies Act 2016

TM BOARD RECOGNISES THE IMPORTANCE OF ADDRESSING CONFLICTS WITHIN THE BOARD SENSIBLY, FAIRLY AND EFFICIENTLY WITHIN THE COMPANY, IRRESPECTIVE OF THE PARTIES INVOLVED.

The Chairman and Senior Independent Director (SID) have a tacit role to act as the intermediary to resolve any issue or sensitive matter that arises between members of the Board. In instances of conflict or issues between Board members and employees involving unethical conduct of any member of the Board, TM has established a grievance procedure whereby aggrieved employees may escalate complaints against the Board member via a formal channel through the SID and/or the Company Secretary.

The SID and/or Company Secretary will evaluate and, if required, stream the complaint to the NRC Chairman for consultation to decide on the next course of action. If the complaint is substantiated and warrants further investigation, an independent ad hoc Board Ethics Committee will be established to review and investigate the complaint and recommend the next course of action to the NRC. Ultimately, TM Board will decide on the most appropriate action to be taken against the Director.
