Climate Change and Environmental Issues
Our Approaches, Strategies, Targets & Initiatives
Product and service quality is fundamental to SAMEE Group’s brand reputation, business sustainability, and customer
satisfaction.
At SAMEE Group, quality is not merely a performance metric, it is a mindset embedded into every process, decision, and
individual throughout our organisation. We adopt a structured, standards-based approach to quality management, guided
by internationally recognised frameworks such as ISO and tailored to meet customer-specific requirements. Our Quality
Management System (“QMS”) spans the entire value chain, rom procurement and production to testing and delivery,
ensuring robust process control, regulatory compliance, and consistent customer satisfaction.
Quality is treated as a shared responsibility and a core driver of business resilience and operational excellence. SAMEE
Group emphasises real-time monitoring, continuous workforce training, and digital enablement to foster a proactive quality
culture. Tools such as visual dashboards at workstations, automated inspection systems, and electronic traceability platforms
are employed to detect deviations early, strengthen accountability, and support data-driven decision-making at every stage
of the process.
Our quality strategy is anchored in a set of interdependent focus areas that work in unison to uphold consistent, high
performance standards across all operations. This includes maintaining certified QMS frameworks aligned with ISO
standards and customer requirements; conducting regular audits and applying Process Failure Mode and Effects Analysis
(“PFMEA”); and using structured feedback loops to address root causes and drive preventive action. Digital tools such as
statistical quality control systems and carousel-guided assembly processes enhance precision, traceability, and real-time
performance insights.
The Group’s quality culture is reinforced by structured training and employee ownership, championed from senior
management to shop-floor teams. Programmes such as the Quarterly Quality Incentive Scheme reward outstanding
quality adherence, supporting an environment where excellence is both expected and recognised. SAMEE also prioritises
harmonisation of quality standards across operational sites, ensuring consistent execution through coordinated internal
reviews and independent third-party audits.
SAMEE Group advanced its quality agenda through a series of impactful initiatives. The Quarterly Quality Incentive Scheme,
first launched in FY2023, was expanded further to achieve improved quality outcomes. Quarterly corporate audits were
conducted to assess adherence to ISO requirements and internal benchmarks. The Group also rolled out automated
inspection systems to enhance precision and consistency, especially in high-mix, low-volume manufacturing environments.
To strengthen workforce capabilities, SAMEE Group integrated a dedicated Quality Module into its New Hire Orientation
Programme, ensuring that new employees are aligned with the Group’s expectations from day one. In addition, existing
staff completed refresher training on CAPA and PFMEA, reinforcing a culture of ownership and continuous learning.
Customer engagement continued to play a vital role in quality assurance. Satisfaction surveys and performance scorecards
were regularly reviewed during Quarterly Business Reviews (“QBRs”) with senior leadership. Client site audits validated
product integrity, with SAMEE Group receiving multiple Supplier Excellence Awards in recognition of our consistent and
customer-aligned quality performance.
By embedding quality into our systems, culture, and governance, SAMEE Group reinforces its commitment to excellence,
builds enduring customer trust, and ensures long-term value creation through operational integrity and continuous
improvement.

in disbursed incentives. This notable growth highlights
the heightened sense of ownership and accountability
for quality outcomes among employees and operational
teams. Internal quality metrics showed steady or improving
performance across critical indicators, including lower
defect rates, more timely execution of corrective actions,
and a more rigorous application of root-cause analysis
protocols. These improvements reinforce SAMEE’s
commitment to driving continuous quality enhancement
across all sites.
Throughout FY2025, SAMEE Group also maintained
full compliance with third-party audit requirements,
sustaining its certifications under ISO standards, AS9100,
and NADCAP. All audit assessments were completed
without any major non-conformities during third party
audits, reaffirming the Group’s ability to meet stringent

and manufacturing standards. Together, these results
underscore SAMEE Group’s continued focus on
operational excellence, customer trust, and product
integrity as core pillars of its sustainable growth strategy.
Marketing and Labelling
SAMEE Group is committed to providing accurate,
transparent, and responsible product and service
information to our customers, while maintaining
compliance with applicable regulations and voluntary
codes across our markets. Although detailed product
labelling is not currently required across all operations,
relevant sourcing and safety information is embedded
within the Group’s internal ERP system and available
upon request for traceability purposes.
SAMEE Group confirms that all product components
are sourced through approved supplier lists and are
documented for traceability. Substances with potential
environmental or social impacts are declared in accordance
with international requirements such as REACH
(Registration, Evaluation, Authorisation and Restriction of
Chemicals, EU), particularly within Singapore operations,
where additional approval requirements apply. However,
information such as safe use and disposal of the product
is not currently labelled or disclosed as it falls outside
the scope of the Group’s current regulatory obligations.
During the reporting period, 100% of significant product
and service categories were assessed for compliance with
internal labelling and sourcing procedures, demonstrating
robust governance over material sourcing and product
content management.
These outcomes affirm SAMEE Group’s responsible
approach to marketing, communication, and customer
transparency, underscoring our commitment to ethical
business conduct and customer trust.
Ethics and Compliance
Our Approaches, Strategies, Targets & Initiatives
Upholding high ethical standards and ensuring robust
compliance are foundational to SAMEE Group’s
commitment to responsible and sustainable business
practices.
SAMEE Group’s commitment to ethical business conduct is
deeply embedded in a structured governance framework
that promotes transparency, accountability, and a zero
tolerance stance on corruption. Our approach to ethics
and compliance goes beyond regulatory fulfilment; it is
designed to foster a culture of integrity across all levels of
the organisation and geographies in which we operate.
Oversight of ethics-related matters is led by the Board of
Directors, with strategic guidance provided by the Risk
and Sustainability Committee. Operational execution
is driven by the Legal, Internal Audit, and Procurement
departments, which play an instrumental role in ensuring
that compliance standards are effectively implemented
across all functions. All employees, including senior
management, are required to acknowledge and adhere
to the Group’s Code of Business Conduct and Ethics,
which outlines expectations in key areas such as business
integrity, the prevention of conflicts of interest, ethical
interactions with third parties, and the responsible use
and protection of company assets and data. These policies
are periodically to ensure alignment with evolving legal
requirements, including Section 17A of the Malaysian
Anti-Corruption Commission (“MACC”) Act 2009.
SAMEE Group’s ethics and compliance strategy is
underpinned by a structured framework that promotes
accountability, transparency, and ethical conduct across
all levels of the organisation. Governance oversight
is
strengthened through clearly defined roles and
responsibilities, which cascade from the board to each
business unit. Awareness among stakeholders is cultivated
through regular and tailored ethics training programmes
for employees at all levels, including external business
partners. Our grievance mechanisms are accessible,
secure, and anonymous, ensuring that all individuals
feel safe in raising concerns and that whistleblowers
are protected against retaliation. The Group’s suite of
policies, including those governing anti-bribery, gifts
and hospitality, whistleblowing, and procurement, are
regularly reviewed and enhanced to reflect global best
practices. To complement these preventive measures,
corruption risk is continuously monitored through internal
audits and the integration of Anti-Bribery and Corruption
metrics within operational risk management processes.
SAMEE Group maintains a zero-tolerance approach to
bribery and corruption. This principle is operationalised
through annual anti-bribery training, particularly for
employees in high-risk roles such as procurement
and finance, ongoing compliance reviews, and a
whistleblowing mechanism that is accessible to both
internal and external stakeholders. New employee
onboarding includes comprehensive orientation on
ethics and compliance, while governance policies are
periodically updated to ensure relevance and regulatory
alignment. These efforts reflect our commitment to
fostering a proactive compliance culture, one that treats
ethics as an organisational value, not just an obligation.
CORE VALUES

Integrity
Righteousness
Courage
Commitment
Compassion
Serving others
The Group’s Code of Business Conduct and Ethics serves as the cornerstone of our ethical framework. It applies to all
employees across functions, subsidiaries, and regions, and provides clear guidance on personal conduct, data privacy,
confidentiality, fair competition, anti-trust compliance, and respectful workplace behaviour. The Code is embedded through
various engagement channels, including orientation programmes, annual refresher training, and internal communications
campaigns. All employees affirm their commitment by signing the SAM Employee Agreement, reinforcing personal
accountability for ethical conduct.
Underlying this framework is a strong set of Core Values that guide every business decision, leadership action, and stakeholder
interaction. These values, centred on value creation, integrity, righteousness, courage, commitment, compassion, and service
to others, are not only embedded in our policies and procedures but actively reinforced through leadership accountability
and ongoing employee engagement. SAMEE Group believes that by cultivating a purpose-driven and ethically grounded
culture, we can ensure long-term trust, resilience, and sustainable success across our value chain.
In FY2025, SAMEE Group continued to uphold a zero-tolerance policy toward bribery and corruption across all jurisdictions
in which we operate. This commitment to business integrity is deeply embedded in our governance culture and predates
the enforcement of Section 17A of the Malaysian Anti-Corruption Commission Act 2009. We remain aligned with prevailing
national regulations and governance expectations. To reinforce this stance, we conducted corruption risk assessments
across 100% of our operational sites and provided comprehensive anti-corruption training to all employee categories,
including management, exempt, and non-exempt staff. Throughout the reporting year, no incidents of corruption were
reported. The following table summarises our anti-corruption performance for FY2025:
Economic Performance
Our Approaches, Strategies, Targets & Initiatives
At SAMEE Group, economic performance is managed through a balanced and forward-looking lens, anchored in financial
discipline, operational excellence, and the integration of sustainability considerations. We recognise that long-term financial
resilience cannot be separated from responsible governance, ethical conduct, and the ability to adapt to evolving regulatory
frameworks, environmental challenges, and stakeholder expectations.
Our economic management framework integrates sustainability and governance factors into financial and investment
decision-making. It aligns operational performance with stakeholder value creation and includes continuous monitoring of
both external market conditions and internal performance indicators. This comprehensive approach enables us to navigate
volatility while pursuing sustained value generation.
Oversight of the Group’s economic performance and its associated risks rests with the Board of Directors and is supported
by the Risk and Sustainability Committee. Together, they ensure that business strategies remain aligned with our corporate

outcomes, SAMEE Group has rolled out a series of strategic initiatives across core pillars, each designed to reinforce financial
prudence, operational efficiency, and sustainability integration. The table below outlines key initiatives implemented under
each strategic focus area:
All initiatives are evaluated based on return on investment (“ROI”), scalability, and alignment with Group-wide sustainability
goals. These frameworks ensure that the pursuit of economic performance is underpinned by responsible conduct and
stakeholder trust.
SAMEE recorded revenue of RM1,480 million in FY2025, representing a year-on-year decline of 1.1% compared to the
previous financial year. Further details on the Group’s financial performance are available in the Management Discussion

The Group will continue to strengthen its economic resilience through enhanced operational efficiency and strategic resource
allocation, while remaining steadfast in its ESG commitments to stakeholder prosperity and sustainable development.
Customer Satisfaction and Relationship
Our Approaches, Strategies, Targets & Initiatives
At SAMEE Group, we believe that maintaining strong, trust-based relationships with our customers is fundamental to
achieving long-term business success. Customer satisfaction, loyalty, and confidence in our capabilities are directly linked
to our operational continuity, market competitiveness, and brand reputation. As such, customer relationship management
is a key pillar of our broader sustainability strategy, contributing to business resilience, stakeholder value creation, and
responsible growth.
Our customer-centric approach focuses on delivering high-quality products, ensuring on-time performance, and resolving
issues with precision and accountability. We continuously enhance our service delivery through improvements in operational
efficiency, responsive communication, and proactive engagement with both domestic and international clients. These efforts
enable us to stay aligned with evolving customer expectations while driving continuous improvement across our operations.
SAMEE Group’s customer engagement strategy is rooted in a commitment to excellence, transparency, responsiveness,

compliance to Group governance, risk review, and sustainability oversight protocols.
Cybersecurity and IT Resource Management
Our Approaches, Strategies, Targets & Initiatives
In an increasingly digitalised operating environment,
cybersecurity and IT resource management have become
essential components of corporate resilience.
SAMEE Group adopts a structured approach to IT
and cybersecurity governance, recognising its critical
role in protecting data integrity, ensuring operational
continuity, and maintaining stakeholder trust in an
increasingly digitised business environment. Our strategy
is underpinned by principles of risk minimisation, system
availability, user accountability, and compliance with
applicable data protection laws across all jurisdictions in
which we operate.
Cybersecurity oversight is centralised under our
Corporate IT, which is supported by external consultants
and periodic compliance reviews. IT infrastructure is
designed with redundancy, security, and disaster recovery
in mind, while access to mission-critical systems is tightly
governed through role-based permissions, user activity
monitoring, and escalation protocols.
To protect sensitive and business-critical information,
SAMEE Group enforces encryption standards, firewall
protection, and cloud-based backups where applicable.
All digital systems undergo both internal and external
vulnerability assessments to identify and address
potential security gaps. Our multi-layered defence
approach extends beyond technology to include people
and processes, with strong emphasis placed on user
education and behavioural risk reduction.
Our cybersecurity and IT governance strategy is structured
around five core focus areas:
- Infrastructure Security and Uptime – We ensure robust protection of enterprise systems, servers, and automation platforms through access controls, regular security patching, and performance monitoring.
- Data Privacy and Protection – We safeguard employee, customer, and business data through encryption, data retention protocols, and compliance with local and international privacy regulations.
- User Training and Awareness – Cybersecurity briefings, phishing simulations, and IT policy refreshers are conducted regularly to reduce human-related risks and instil responsible digital behaviours.
- Disaster Recovery and Business Continuity – SAMEE Group follows the 3-2-1 Backup Rule, maintains offsite backups, and tests system restoration procedures annually to ensure business resilience in the event of a cyberattack or IT failure.
- Policy Enforcement and Audit – Our cybersecurity policies are formalised and enforced through regular internal audits, with a structured approach to reporting, remediation, and compliance tracking.
In FY2025, SAMEE Group implemented several initiatives
to strengthen our cybersecurity posture. Multi-Factor
Authentication (“MFA”) was enforced for all administrator
access, particularly to safeguard remote and hybrid
work environments. Email security was significantly
enhanced through the deployment of an enterprise
class email gateway solution and the implementation
of Domain-based Message Authentication, Reporting
and Conformance (“DMARC”) protocols to prevent
domain spoofing and reduce phishing threats. All new
hires underwent Cybersecurity Awareness Training and
were briefed on IT Acceptable Use Guidelines during
onboarding. In addition, all employees completed annual
compliance modules through SAMEE Group’s internal
platform, reinforcing knowledge of evolving threats and
personal responsibilities.
To test and improve our defences, we conducted vulnerability assessments, social engineering simulations, and cybersecurity
gap analyses across our internal systems and third-party interfaces. These exercises identified improvement areas that
were promptly addressed, including closing legacy system exposures, enhancing endpoint security controls, and hardening
system configurations across operating units.
SAMEE Group also enhanced backup resilience by extending data retention periods and implementing robust restoration
validation processes. Backup and disaster recovery protocols were tested to ensure rapid response readiness, particularly in
the context of rising ransomware and data breach risks. Real-time security bulletins, system tips, and threat alerts were also
disseminated via our internal mobile platform, SAM eHub, to maintain awareness and engagement across the workforce.
Through these integrated and proactive measures, SAMEE Group continues to elevate its cybersecurity maturity, protect
stakeholder interests, and ensure that our digital ecosystem remains secure, resilient, and fit for the future.

compliance, and upholding the highest standards of data privacy. This outcome reflects the successful achievement of our
internal target of zero data breaches.
Supply chain management
Our Approaches, Strategies, Targets & Initiatives
Supply chain management is a cornerstone of SAMEE
Group’s operational resilience and sustainability
performance. It supports the Group’s ability to meet
stakeholder expectations and navigate an increasingly
dynamic market environment.
SAMEE Group adopts a structured, risk-informed
approach to supply chain management that balances
commercial prudence with our commitment to
sustainability, ethical conduct, and inclusive economic
development. Anchored by the principles of transparency,
resilience, and responsible sourcing, our supply chain
governance framework is designed to uphold stakeholder
trust, support local economies, and safeguard business
continuity amid a rapidly evolving global procurement
landscape.
Sustainability
and governance considerations are
embedded throughout our procurement lifecycle,
including supplier selection, engagement, and contract
enforcement. All key suppliers and contractors are
regarded as strategic partners and are required to
comply with the Group’s supply chain standards.
These expectations are formalised through a Letter of
Conformance, affirming adherence to SAMEE Group’s
requirements on quality, occupational health and safety,
labour rights, environmental management, and ethical
business conduct.
In response to heightened exposure to geopolitical
tensions, environmental volatility, and material shortages,
SAMEE Group has reinforced its supply chain resilience
through source diversification, digital procurement
solutions, and proactive risk management practices.
Critical materials are sourced from regionally diverse,
qualified suppliers to reduce single-source dependencies
and enhance production continuity. These suppliers
are screened, onboarded, and continuously assessed
through a structured Approved Vendor List (“AVL”)
framework, which is supported by regular reviews,
supplier scorecards, and quarterly compliance tracking.
Our procurement strategy reflects a strong alignment
with sustainability principles. We prioritise vendors that
demonstrate responsible EESG performance, support
local sourcing where feasible to minimise upstream
emissions, and promote community-based economic
inclusion. To strengthen ethical behaviour, SAMEE Group’s
Code of Business Conduct and Ethics is distributed to all
vendors as part of the onboarding process.
Together, these efforts reflect SAMEE Group’s ongoing
transformation toward a responsible, resilient, and
future-ready supply chain. By integrating EESG principles
at every stage of procurement, we not only strengthen
operational performance but also contribute meaningfully
to climate action, responsible consumption, and national
supply chain development goals.
While SAMEE Group’s supply chain composition is often shaped by customer specifications and contractual obligations,
limiting full autonomy in supplier selection, we remain committed to promoting local economic participation wherever
feasible. As part of our ongoing supply chain monitoring efforts, we continue to track the proportion of procurement
spending directed toward local suppliers. The following table outlines our performance over the past three financial years:

45001, to ensure readiness across our global operations.
On workforce development, we aim to expand digital learning content for increased accessibility, implement structured
training roadmaps, and align learning KPIs with business outcomes. Succession planning, total rewards review, and
employee engagement mechanisms will be enhanced to retain talent and foster a more agile, future-ready workforce. We
will also continue to uphold fair and responsible labour practices across our supply chain by improving supplier assessments,
enhancing awareness of workplace rights, and upgrading our digital HR systems for better visibility and control. These
steps are designed to safeguard human dignity and support inclusive growth throughout our value chain. On the customer
front, SAMEE Group will digitise feedback mechanisms, improve CRM tracking of service quality, and expand EESG
considerations within customer engagement frameworks. These efforts will enable us to respond to dynamic market needs
while reinforcing our reputation as a reliable, ethical, and high-quality solutions provider.
Economically and from a governance perspective, SAMEE Group will remain focused on embedding financial sustainability
and ethical practices across our operations. This includes integrating sustainability-linked financial planning into business
decision-making, factoring in energy costs, carbon exposure, and EESG-linked risks, and building performance ownership
across business units.
To support operational excellence and innovation, we will scale the use of predictive analytics for process optimisation,
strengthen engineering innovation with strategic clients in high-value segments, and evaluate emerging technologies
for energy efficiency, traceability, and precision. Regional talent upskilling across Malaysia, Singapore, and Thailand will
