SUSTAINABILITY STATEMENT This Sustainability Report covers our responsibilities to our stakeholders and the developments in sustainability we have made during the financial year 2021. This report is prepared in accordance to the Global Reporting Initiative reporting guidelines and it adheres to the 2nd Edition of Bursa Malaysia’s Sustainability Reporting Guide. The Board members of Destini recognises the importance of building a sustainable business. Taking into consideration and calculating all factors that will affect the sustainability of the Group’s businesses, operations and management, leakages are addressed in order to create shareholders’ value and to safeguard the interest of all stakeholders on a longterm basis. The Group sees sustainability as a means to build greater resilience in our business model, increase our competitiveness, ensure high standard of compliance and ethics in all our business practices, while strengthening our ability to contribute meaningful change in society, beyond the Group’s businesses alone. Our Sustainability Policy provides guiding principles on Destini’s business conduct to ensure all stakeholders support the Group’s commitment to sustainability. It serves as the focal guiding document for the Group’s sustainability practices. Our values, sustainability pillars and commitments are kept in check through this policy which is stated below; SUSTAINABILITY REPORT The Group’s continued success in maintaining a sustainable business and generating long-term shareholder value is influenced by several internal and external factors. Each material factor presents unique risks and opportunities to our organisation and is a key consideration in our approach to formulate strategies and execution as it substantially influences the assessments and decisions of our stakeholders. We regularly review these factors to assess their impacts on our business model over a near, medium and long-term period. Recognising COVID-19 as a test of resilience and preparedness, sustainability issues have become more critical than before. The uncertainties caused by the pandemic have changed the Group’s business operations during the financial year, with significant impact on the policy. While the Group was able to operate during the Movement Control Order at a lower capacity, several key activities planned for the year were either halted or disrupted. The Group had implemented more stringent hygiene standards and operational procedures to comply with the government pandemic-induced regulations and to ensure business continuity in the new normal. Priority is given to safeguard the well-being of the customers, employees and other stakeholders such as business associates who are in close contact with us.
