Governance​

Governance​

Our commitment to operating in an ethical and lawful manner serves as the foundation for our relationships with employees, customers and suppliers, as well as the communities in which we operate. Nextgreen recognises the need for a resilient and effective governance framework to uphold strong sustainability governance and embed sustainability in our business decision-making as well as our daily operations.

We are working to raise awareness and understanding of sustainability related topics among employees at all levels. We support them in their roles to have an understanding and ability to hold informed conversations about ESG topics. Topics include sustainable financing, ESG ratings, climate change, sustainability certifications and labels.

 

We also encourage all employees to take advantage of the UNGC Academy digital learning platform to gain new insights and best practices from world class leaders, changemakers and practitioners on today’s pressing sustainability issues. Among some of the UNGC Accelerator programmes participated in 2022 are the Climate Ambition Accelerator, SDG Ambition Accelerator and Target Gender Equality Accelerator.

In 2021, Nextgreen set up the Anti-Bribery and Anti-Corruption function to strengthen governance, integrity and anti-corruption compliance and controls for the Group. We adopt a zero-tolerance policy against all forms of bribery and corruption in our business, including any third-party or business associate dealings.

 

The Anti-Bribery and Anti-Corruption Policy and procedures give employees (and third-parties with whom we engage) the awareness, knowledge and resources to operate with integrity and comply with applicable laws and regulations. Policy and procedures to prevent risks relating to inappropriate behaviour, such as acts of bribery and corruption is outlined and made available for reference on this website.
