5 Leadership Insights DAGANG NeXCHANGE BERHAD Integrated Report 2024 Commitment to Sustainability Our commitment to sustainability remains a cornerstone of our strategic vision. We have made significant strides since embarking on our sustainability journey in 2021. However, we recognise that true leadership demands continuous improvement and a more focused, ambitious approach. In FY2025, we are increasing our efforts, placing a heightened emphasis on environmental stewardship and social responsibility across our operations and supply chains. We are actively working to strengthen our Environmental, Social, and Governance (“ESG”) performance, with the aspiration of meeting globally recognised sustainability benchmarks, most notably inclusion in the FTSE4Good Bursa Malaysia Index. To achieve our sustainability goals, we are committed to a multi-faceted approach. This includes enhancing our policies to ensure they are robust, comprehensive, and aligned with global best practices. We will also focus on deepening stakeholder engagement by fostering transparent and meaningful dialogue to better understand and address their needs. Crucially, we are dedicated to embedding sustainability into each aspect of our operations, integrating sustainable practices into our core business strategies and day-today activities. This holistic strategy will drive meaningful advancements and ensure lasting value for all our stakeholders. Through these focused initiatives, we are determined to drive meaningful advancements and deliver lasting value for our business, our stakeholders, and the communities we serve. We believe that by acting responsibly and sustainably, we not only contribute to a better future but also strengthen our long-term resilience and create enduring value. Positioning for Long-Term Value Creation FY2024 may have been a year of recalibration, but it was also one of preparation. In confronting near term pressures, the Group also began laying the groundwork for deeper structural change, one guided by a clear ambition to become a more integrated, resilient and future-ready organisation. These early moves signal a shift in how DNeX is positioning itself to compete and create value over the long term. From an oversight perspective, we remain actively engaged in supporting these priorities, not just in governance but also in ensuring the right frameworks are in place to enable disciplined execution. We will continue to guide the organisation with clarity, foster transparency across leadership layers and ensure that key decisions are anchored in long-term value creation for all stakeholders. At the same time, I would like to express my personal appreciation to everyone who contributed to the Group’s efforts this past year. Our employees, partners, regulators and shareholders have each played a role in sustaining our momentum through a period of challenges. To our people especially, thank you for showing resilience, adaptability and unwavering commitment, even as conditions remained fluid and demanding. Your dedication has been the backbone of our progress, and it is this collective strength that will continue to propel DNeX forward as we move into the next phase of our journey. As we step into FY2025, I am confident that we are entering a new chapter with the right foundation, a capable leadership team and a shared vision for what DNeX can become. Together, we will continue to unlock potential, pursue sustainable progress and deliver value in ways that endure.
