Need to review implementation of integrity and anticorruption framework initiatives — SPAN

PUTRAJAYA: The National Water Services Commission (SPAN) believes that there is a need to review existing initiatives through the implementation of the Integrity and Anti-Corruption Framework for Licensees and Certification Agencies in the Water Services Industry to combat corruption.

It said that amidst the focus on empowering aspects of Environment, Social and Governance (ESG), all parties should evaluate and enhance governance practices.

“SPAN is committed to realising the empowerment of integrity in the water services industry through close collaboration with licensees,” the national regulatory body for the water supply and sewerage services in Peninsular Malaysia and Labuan said in a statement Monday.

The Integrity and AntiCorruption Framework for Licensees and Certification Agencies in the Water Services Industry was launched on Sept 5, 2019, aimed at assisting individual licence holders and certification agencies under the Water Services Industry Act 2006 (Act 655) in implementing policies, procedures and measures related to integrity and anti-corruption.

SPAN chairman Charles Anthony Santiago, Commission members, integrity chiefs and representatives of licence holders and certification agencies attended today’s briefing and best practice presentations by SPAN. —
