The framework is designed to identify, assess and prioritise risks and opportunities, including ESG risks that impact our business. To ensure effective oversight of risks at enterprise-wide level, risk management is embedded into our key processes and activities. The Enterprise Risk Management Framework is designed in accordance with the ISO 31000:2018 Risk Management-Guidelines. The CGRM Department is the custodian of Group’s risk profile. The Board, assisted by the BGRC, has the overall responsibility to review the effectiveness and adequacy of MSM’s risk management and internal controls. With a structured risk framework, potential risks are tracked in the risk registers of each operating company and are reviewed on a quarterly basis by CGRM jointly with the respective risk owners from the operations to assess the analysis and mitigation measures, and where applicable, ensure action plans are effective and adequately documented. CGRM publishes its quarterly risk report to the Management, Board Committees and Board on the key risks horizon covering the top 10 and other key risks.

However, due to the pandemic and movement restrictions, virtual engagement channels were employed to reach out to the community and authorities such as the DOE. Materiality Assessment Our approach to ESG is currently aligned to our business strategy and this approach is informed by our understanding of the issues that are most material to us as a business and to the communities we touch, and in turn by the priorities we are setting for ourselves along our value chain. In FY2021, we continued to internally assess and review our material matters for their relevance and changes to the risks and opportunities impacting our business. We have streamlined the material matters, as reported on page 126 and in our previous report in 2020. This year we highlight those that remain relevant and important to us while we progress to refine our priorities in the coming year. We have also enhanced our disclosures on our material topics, and where applicable, aligned these with the relevant GRI standards and identified the UN SDGs most relevant to our sustainability effort in FY2021.
