Our Annual Commitments
The four ESG Sub-Committees established 67 annual commitments at the beginning of the Reporting Period, focusing on various areas. These sustainability commitments were then cascaded down to relevant business units, motivating staff members at all levels to work towards achieving these goals and actions. As a result, we achieved an accomplishment rate of 79%. The Group’s sustainability performance was regularly reported to the ESG Steering Committee. To maintain equal emphasis on People, Community, Prosperity and Planet, we are actively reviewing these yearly commitments and incorporating new ones.
