ESG governance

We advance our ESG initiatives through a three-tier governance structure comprising the Board of Directors, the management, and working groups. This approach incorporates a PDCA (Plan-Do-Check-Act) cycle to continuously refine our ESG management system.

Sustainability Committee

This committee: (1) assists the Board of Directors in identifying and assessing ESG-related risks and opportunities, including climate-related risks and opportunities; (2) oversees and evaluates the implementation and performance of ESG initiatives and projects; and (3) advises the Board of Directors on ESG-related legal, regulatory, and compliance developments and public policy trends.

Sustainability Steering Committee

This committee plans and drives the execution of our strategic ESG goals. Under its remit, three working groups spearhead implementation across three specific areas: technology ethics, supply chain management, and DEI.

ESG Working Group

The ESG Working Group, comprising ESG officers from all our businesses and the holding group's functional lines, is tasked with delivering on our strategic ESG goals.
