WHISTLEBLOWER POLICY
This policy has been established to provide employees, customers, vendors, and other stakeholders with a clear avenue to raise concerns regarding any activity that is inconsistent with Navalai Group’s commitment to the highest standards of ethical, moral, and legal business conduct.
We are committed to fostering an environment of integrity and open communication. This policy also provides safeguards to protect individuals from retaliation or victimisation when concerns are raised in good faith.

Raising a Concern
- Whistleblowers (employees, vendors, or customers) are not required to prove the truth of an allegation. They only need to demonstrate to the Ombudsperson/Whistleblower Officer that sufficient grounds exist for concern.
- Concerns may be raised in writing, through email, or via other secure reporting channels provided by the company.
- While every effort will be made to protect the whistleblower’s identity, providing contact information helps in clarifying issues during investigation.
- Anonymous complaints will generally not be investigated, unless the seriousness of the matter warrants independent review.
Malicious or knowingly false allegations may result in appropriate disciplinary action.
