Making a Positive Impact on Planet and Society
Our green and CR initiatives in our footprint across Southeast Asia and South Asia
have reduced the environmental impact of our organisation. The implementation of
our Group-wide DRP has ensured that disaster-relief efforts in any of our operating
countries will receive the full support of the Group while our CR initiatives are
helping uplift the lives of the less privileged.
In 2014, we introduced the ‘4i’ aspects of each of our Sustainability Pillars. We continue to describe our sustainability initiatives in
2016 based on these four aspects:
