DESTINI Annual Report 2019

SUSTAINABILITY 04 Paper recycling initiatives are already in progress by encouraging the employees to prioritise electronic means to share and store documents, and to reduce printing or photocopying, otherwise, to use double-sided printing. Additionally, other materials such as furnishing and fixture are recycled or reused where possible. Waste segregation has been done by placing different bins in and around our warehouse. Waste segregation is planned to be fully implemented in the coming years throughout the Group where recycling stations will be set up in convenient locations. SOCIAL Water Saving Initiatives Water is a limited resource, and as the world continues to advance and the global population continues to grow, an increasing strain is being placed on the supply of clean water. Water conservation is therefore an area that our Group is working hard on, both improving the efficiency with which we use our water, as well as working to educate our employees and the public about the need to conserve it. The Group recognised that employees are our greatest assets hence we proactively provide opportunities for growth and development for talent in the organisation through targeted development plans and succession planning. Ensuring our long-term sustainability, we continuously invest time and effort in recruiting (internal and external), upskilling, engaging and rewarding talents/employees of the organisation accordingly. Succession Planning For critical and leadership roles, succession planning is vital to our long-term performance as part of our Group’s sustainability move. Our Nomination and Remuneration Committee will review the Group’s human resources plan including the succession management framework and activities, human resources initiatives such as jobs and salary review, and the annual manpower budget. The succession planning across the Group is implemented by stages where the training programme is designed specifically for management staff. Safe Workplace The Group believes that the safety and well-being of its employees is the foundation of its success. Hence, we strive to provide a safe and healthy environment for our employees and to ensure safe practices in all aspects of our business operations. The Group has in place a policy that highlights our commitment to: • prevent injury and ill health to our employees; • ensure compliance to laws and regulations in relation to occupational safety and health; • require contractors to meet our occupational safety and health standards across all operations; • set targets and measures to drive occupational safety and health performance across the organisation; and • promote a culture where all employees share the commitment to prevent harm to the safety and health of our employees, contractors and the general public.
