Foreword by President/Group CEO
In today’s environment, business sustainability issues have become increasingly challenging. From the introduction of a slew of legislation to curb environmental emissions, to the need to cultivate and optimise finite resources, to ensuring higher levels of transparency in business dealings amidst an increasingly competitive playing field, companies are having to implement new measures to future-proof themselves and ensure sustainable growth.
I am delighted to present MISC Berhad’s Sustainability Disclosures this year which underlines the Group’s commitment to manage our business in a responsible and sustainable manner. Therefore, we have embarked upon an extensive review of our sustainability agenda. We believe that by improving our understanding of sustainability and appreciating its importance to our business, we can embed sustainability even more deeply in our strategy and operations.
Overview
Sustainability is an integral component in MISC’s operations, from the way we conduct our business, manage our employees, reduce impact on the environment, deliver sustainable returns to our investors and shareholders, strive to exceed the expectations of our customers, as well as the way we create positive impact for the local communities.
As our business expands, long-term sustainability issues will pose a challenge to our business in the energy related maritime solutions and services industry. With approximately 90% of goods traded internationally being transported by sea, the industry has a significant economic impact and an associated social and environmental footprint, accounting for nearly 3% of global carbon dioxide emissions.
Based on our sustainability strategic pillars' key initiatives, we have alignment with 11 UNSDG as follows:
Our Approach
