REPORT Reporting Scope and Boundary This report covers our financial and non-financial performance during the period from 1 January 2021 to 31 December 2021. Our reporting encompasses all material developments concerning MSM up until the approval of the annual financial statements. It focuses on MSM as a Group and encompasses our operating subsidiaries, i.e. MSM Prai Berhad, MSM Logistics Sdn Bhd and MSM Sugar Refinery (Johor) Sdn Bhd. This report has been compiled in accordance with the concepts, guiding principles and content elements contained in the IIRC framework. This framework employs a reporting approach to create short, medium and long-term value as well as the connectivity and interdependencies of the six capitals, namely human, natural, manufactured, financial, intellectual, and social & relationship capital. Information presented relates to the principal activities of MSM Group and all its subsidiaries, unless stated otherwise. The SIX Capitals of Value Creation Through this report, MSM hopes to give a comprehensive and holistic overview of the matters that influence our ability to create value, including market challenges, risk management, strategies, governance, initiatives and key developments. MSM Group’s focus on value creation is driven by the economic value we deliver and the sustainability of the communities that we serve. We relentlessly strategise on the mobilisation of our Six Capitals to coordinate, educate, support and collaborate with our stakeholders and monitor value creation outcomes to enhance resiliency. These capitals, as identified by the IIRC, have served as essential guides to help us achieve our strategic objectives. The capitals represent stores of value and each of them – Financial Capital, Natural Capital, Manufactured Capital, Intellectual Capital, Human Capital and Social & Relationship Capital – is important on how it impacts our business. MSM’s business strategies revolve around maximising positive outcomes within these capitals, being mindful of the trade-offs between capitals, and mitigating negative impacts. By reporting according to the Six Capitals, our stakeholders will be better informed and have a broader view of how the business strives to create net positive value. This approach also allows for more concise understanding of our value creation over time. Our value creation Business Model that shows the inter-relatedness and dependencies between our Capitals and other factors that drive our value creation journey is disclosed on pages 94 to 95. MATERIALITY MSM applies the principle of materiality to determine the content of our integrated report and defines materiality as matters that substantially affect MSM Group’s ability to create and sustain value over the short, medium and long-term. These matters were identified, prioritised and validated via a materiality assessment described in page 96. Subsequently, our key stakeholders were engaged throughout this process, and this has enabled MSM to incorporate their inputs into our business perspective. Our strategic responses to these material matters are presented in pages 96 to 101. Forward Looking Statement MSM’s forward looking statements are inclusive of MSM Group’s future direction, strategies, and potential opportunities for growth. These statements can be identified by key words such as “believes”, “estimates”, “anticipates”, “expects”, “intends”, “may”, “will”, “plans”, “outlook” and other words of similar meaning in connection with a discussion of future operating or financial performance. These are based on various assumptions and are subject to a number of risks, uncertainties and contingencies, many of which are beyond the control of MSM. Unanticipated events and actual future events may differ materially from current expectations due to new business opportunities, changes in priorities by the Group and other factors.
