Our ESG
Framework
We have taken a proactive approach to sustainability by designing our own ESG (Environmental, Social, and Governance) framework.
Through interactive workshops with staff and customers, we have committed to aligning with three specific United Nations Sustainable Development Goals (UNSDGs): 16, 3, and 8
ESG 16: Promoting peace, justice, and strong institutions
ESG 3: Ensuring good health and well-being for all
ESG 8: Fostering decent work and economic growth
These principles have been translated into commitments through our strategic ESG framework, through which Governing Principles endeavours to drive meaningful progress toward a better future for all via a dedicated program of initiatives:
Our CSR approach excels in its multifaceted ability to create a positive social impact for our staff, clients and their workforce, enhance brand reputation and build stakeholder trust.
