As member entities within NAM Group, Nomura Asset Management Malaysia Sdn. Bhd. and Nomura Islamic Asset Management Sdn. Bhd. are committed to meet the standards encouraged by the UNPRI. In the Malaysian context, the Company is committed to observe the seven principles of the Malaysian Code for Institutional Investors (MCII) as set out below:

1. Institutional investors should disclose the policies on their stewardship responsibilities.
2. Institutional investors should monitor their investee companies.
3. Institutional investors should engage with investee companies as appropriate.
4. Institutional investors should adopt a robust policy on managing conflicts of interest which should be publicly disclosed.
5. Institutional investors should incorporate corporate governance and sustainability considerations into the investment decision-making process.
6. Institutional investors should publish a voting policy.
7. Institutional investors should collaborate where appropriate to respond to corporate governance and sustainability concerns or risks.
