INTRODUCTION
Axiata’s 2016 Sustainability Report provides detailed disclosure of the Group’s management of EES
risks and opportunities for the financial year ended 31 December 2016. The report is in compliance with
the GRI-G4 guidelines, addressing 23 material aspects covering 33 identified indicators. Our materiality
mapping methodology is specified on pages 20 and 21 of this report.
This report discusses the sustainability of the Group as a whole. The 2016 volume of our Sustainability
Report differs from past years’ in that a focused effort was made to harmonise and integrate the
reporting methods used throughout the Group, including our OpCos. We note that our OpCos’ operating
environments may vary significantly from one market to the next, but we have nevertheless made the
attempt to harmonise general reporting areas.
Selected subject matter within this Sustainability Report has been independently assured by Deloitte
PLT (Deloitte) at a limited level as defined by ISAE3000. For more information on the subject matter
and scope of assurance, please refer to Deloitte’s assurance statement on pages 102 and 103.
This report contains forward-looking statements characterised by the use of words and phrases
such as “might”, “forecast”, “anticipate”, “project”, “may”, “believe”, “predict”, “expect”, “continue”,
“will”, “estimate”, “target”, and other similar expressions. As our business operates in a changing
environment, it is subject to uncertainties that could cause actual results to differ from those reflected
in the forward-looking statements.
With the inclusion of Ncell to the Group portfolio in 2016, this report provides details of Ncell’s
sustainability performance outcomes for the reporting period.
We welcome feedback regarding our sustainability framework and our reporting methods.
