We aim to be a group of companies that talks about
Business Integrity and acts with Integrity. We are here today

promoting transparent business practices so this great
country can continue to prosper for years to come, said Mr
Ken Marnoch, the Brunei Shell Joint Venture Companies
(BSJV) Companies and Shell Country Chair, in his
welcoming remarks at the launch of the Business Integrity (BI)
Campaign at the Empire Hotel and Country Club, Jerudong.

ing the campaign witnessed by the Director of ACB, Dato In his speech, the Minister of Energy pointed out that
Paduka Hj Mohd Juanda issues such as corruption and misrepresentation need to be
dealt with seriously as they are diseases that must be cured
and eliminated and if leave unhindered, could have serious
implication to the economic, social and political well-being
of the current generation but also in the future.
The Government of His Majesty the Sultan and Yang
Di-Pertuan of Brunei Darussalam the Minister reiterated, is
very clear on matters relating to business integrity, that is
having a zero tolerance to any forms of corruption.
He further stressed that a clean business environment
especially in the oil and gas industry is important for the
countrys economy to develop in a sustainable way.
There is no alternative to this and we must stem conducts
that are contrary to the principles of Business Integrity swiftly
and in non-compromising way as they as a harmful not only
to companies but the nation as a whole, he stated.
Meanwhile Ken Marnoch in his remarks encouraged the

commitment to business integrity in all company affairs.
Business integrity is a fundamental business principle and
BSJV Companies number one business priority. The BI
campaign was launched in collaboration with the ACB, in
support of its zero tolerance policy on corruption, especially
on behaviours that contradict core values and business
principles.
This years BI campaign initiatives are intended to
communicate further what the BSJV companies expect of
their business partners, and display their commitment to
these same principles through their actions.
