True IDC Anti-Bribery & Anti-Corruption Policy and Guidelines
True IDC implemented an anticorruption policy and related procedures, with the aim to inculcate good practices, raise awareness on all forms of corruption, and create an organizational culture under good governance and ethical business practices. This is in order to create confidence and meet the expectations of all stakeholders. Nevertheless, there challenges in anti-corruption efforts, which also included the governance body members to ensure the comprehensive implementation of the anti-corruption policy and procedures.
