NAVIGATING OUR REPORT MATERIALITY STATEMENT This report is guided by matters that are material to targeted readers. Material Matters are identified, prioritised and validated via a three-step materiality assessment. This report focuses on the matters that we consider to be the most material to our core purpose and our capacity to create value. The directors, in consultation with management, identify the issues that could have the most significant impact on the Group’s ability to create sustainable value for its stakeholders. To determine these material issues, the directors consider internal and external factors, including the Group’s strategy; our main stakeholders’ needs, expectations and concerns; and the economic and trading environment of the Group. These material issues are reviewed annually during the Board’s strategic planning process. FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS This report contains statements based on the forecasted future performance of the Group. These predictions are based on our current understanding of our circumstances, which may change with time. Many factors that we have not foreseen could cause the actual results to be significantly different from what has been predicted and presented here. INDEPENDENT COMBINED ASSURANCE STATEMENT We use a coordinated assurance model to assess and assure the various aspects of our business operations, including elements of external reporting. These assurances are provided by management and the Board, internal audit and independent external service providers, and providers of limited assurance on selected sustainability information, including rating agencies, providers of limited assurance on our application of the Amended FSC and the Group’s BBBEE status. The credibility of this report is supported by our Group’s well-established governance practices and the independent verification provided by Ernst & Young PLT, our auditors for financial information. UEM Edgenta’s Internal Audit department has conducted a limited assurance review of this report, covering seven key sustainability matters: Anti-Corruption, Community/Society, Diversity, Health and Safety, Labour Practices and Standards, Supply Chain Management, and Water, marking an expansion from the four areas assessed in the previous year.
