To reinforce our commitment to responsible practices, the Board and Senior Management have made sustainability a key pillar in the Group’s Wawasan 2030 strategic roadmap. This approach ties our sustainability goals directly to our business strategy, giving our workforce a clear understanding of how these priorities align with the Group’s long-term value creation.
In crafting sustainability strategies and priorities, the Board maintains keen oversight on all matters identified as material across the Environmental, Social and Governance spectrum.
To effectively discharge its duties, the Board is supported by various committees within our sustainability governance structure, namely the Board Governance & Risk Committee ("BGRC"), the Sustainability Management Committee ("SMC") and the Sustainability Working Group ("SWG"). These committees feature distinct subgroups overseeing ESG matters, with the SMC oversee Economic strategies and performance.
Velesto’s President serves as the Chairman of the SMC, enabling direct guidance to Senior Management leaders in effectively operationalising the Group's sustainability strategy.
