In addition, intermediaries are subject to due diligence checks by established, independent third-party service providers prior to and post appointment. EXPORT CONTROL Our Export Control Policy aims to ensure that all our exports are kept out of the hands of unauthorised users and not used for unauthorised purposes. ST Engineering is committed to complying with all applicable laws, regulations, trade sanctions and embargoes (collectively referred to as “Export Control Regimes”) governing the export of goods, services, software, technology and information (“Controlled Items”) of all jurisdictions the Group operates in. ST Engineering is also committed to taking steps to ensure that transactions undertaken by any party operating on behalf of the Group, including agents, distributors, and resellers, comply with applicable Export Control Regimes. Strict adherence to this policy is required, except to the extent that a more stringent local law applies. CORPORATE GOVERNANCE REPORT The Group has in place a Regulatory Compliance Framework that proactively identifies applicable Export Control Regimes, and embeds compliance into the day-to-day business processes, namely commodities classification, screening of customers or end-users, end-use destinations, purposes, record keeping and tracking of Controlled Items. Compliance with Export Control Regimes is facilitated by the Group’s Export Control Support structure that is staffed by Export Control Officers who are appointed at the Group, regional, country and Line of Business levels. Regular awareness-level export compliance training is provided for all relevant employees, and targeted training for employees whose job functions entail greater involvement with Controlled Items. In the event of potential or actual violations, immediate reporting, decision-making and corrective measures are to be carried out under the supervision of senior management and the EXCO. Significant violations are reported to the Risk and Sustainability Committee, where lessons learnt are distilled and shared. Employees may also utilise the reporting channels found in our website to report potential violations of Export Control Regimes.
