ANTI-BRIBERY AND CORRUPTION POLICY

POLICY STATEMENT
RT STUDIOS is committed to conducting business ethically and honestly, and has zero-tolerance for bribery and corrupt activities. We are committed in all business dealings and relationship and will constantly uphold all laws relating to anti-bribery and anti-corruption in Malaysia, in particular, the Malaysia Anti-Corruption Commission Act 2009.


SCOPE OF POLICY
The principles and obligations outlined in this policy apply to all employees of RT STUDIOS, Board of Directors, and RT STUDIOS’ stakeholders, which include customers, vendors, agents, consultants, outsourced personnel and other representatives.


This policy sets forth RT Studios minimum compliance standards concerning interactions with third parties. However, where local law and regulations require more stringent controls, then such stricter controls must be followed.


DEFINITION OF BRIBERY
A bribe refers to “offering, promising, giving or soliciting of undue advantage of any value (which could be financial or non-financial), directly or indirectly, and irrespective of location(s), in violation of applicable law, as an inducement or reward for a person acting or refraining from acting in relation to the performance of that person’s duties” as defined by the Anti Bribery Management System ISO 37001.
