Sustainability

The Group is committed to providing a safe and healthy working environment throughout all our operations. We place a strong emphasis on the health and safety of our employees, recognising the importance of maintaining their well-being and productivity.

Our 4-storey building is equipped with 24-hour security guards, surveillance cameras, and clear signage highlighting safety protocols in relevant work areas. Fire extinguishers and elevators are regularly inspected and maintained to ensure proper functioning. In addition, we have also set up an in-house Emergency Response Team, which collaborates with BOMBA to deliver regular fire drill training to the employees.

In FYE 2025, the Group maintained its focus on continuous improvement in workplace safety by conducting training programs on health and safety standards. A total of 25 employees have received health and safety training during the financial year.

An internal Environment, Health, and Safety (“EHS”) Committee has been formed within the ICT segment to oversee and enhance workplace safety, health, and regulatory compliance. Comprehensive and formal safety and health policies and procedures, including emergency response and spill response measures, have been implemented to prevent and minimise the risk of injuries to employees, visitors, and contractors. Ongoing inhouse training sessions are provided to promote safe working practices, particularly for production and manufacturing teams exposed to hazards such as sharp tools, instruments, and moving equipment.

The Group benefits from a stable workforce with many long-serving employees. In FYE 2025, 25% (FYE 2024:20%) of our employees had over five years of service with the Group. A number of these individuals commenced their careers in executive roles and have since advanced to managerial and senior management positions within the Group’s companies.

AMTEL Group also provides regular briefings and on-the-job training to recruits to ensure they acquire the necessary skills and knowledge. We also encourage continuous learning and self-improvement among existing employees to strengthen internal talent development. Employees, especially those in IT-related roles, are assigned and encouraged to attend relevant training, workshops, and seminars to keep pace with industry advancements. Training is conducted through both internal and external programmes.

AMTEL Group adopts a merit-based reward system, linking reward to staff contribution and performance. We conduct annual performance appraisal to assess employee own performance and to determine the appropriate level of reward. The reward may be in the form of bonus, salary revision and/or promotion, which quantum and level of promotion will depend on their performance. In this way, AMTEL staff have the opportunity to engage directly with the management to understand each other’s requirements, which we believe will promote transparency and two-way communication.

The Group is committed to fostering a conducive working environment that promotes a harmonious workplace culture built on mutual respect, non-discrimination, and teamwork. In addition to upholding equal employment opportunities, the Group complies with all applicable local laws and regulations, including requirements on minimum wages, rest periods, maximum working hours, workplace safety and health, and employees’ entitlements to various types of leave.

A safe and healthy workplace supports employee well-being, reduces absenteeism, and enhances employee morale. Our office premises are well-equipped with air-conditioning, modern IT infrastructure in all meeting and discussion rooms, and spacious pantries and dining areas. To enhance security, employees are issued personalised access cards for office entry. A Surau is also provided within the premises for employees’ convenience. To encourage engagement and camaraderie, the Group organises monthly birthday gatherings and annual celebrations in conjunction with major festive occasions.

In addition, the Group is committed to promoting a healthy work-life balance among employees. To support this, we actively encourage participation in regular physical and sporting activities, including badminton, bowling, and organised sports tournaments.

To promote a safe, respectful, and inclusive workplace, the Group has implemented a grievance mechanism allowing employees to report workplace concerns such as discrimination, bullying, sexual harassment. or other unfair treatment. Serious incidents related to human rights or labour practices can be reported via the Group’s whistleblowing platform, ensuring confidentiality and protection for all parties involved.

During the financial year under review, the Group recorded zero substantiated complaints related to human rights violations.
