With this improvement, we may potentially now meet the required rating to be included in the index for emerging market companies (subject to us meeting FTSE4Good’s other criteria for inclusion). The improved rating was as a result of enhancements across our sustainability agenda, including to environmental, health and safety as well as governance-related data disclosure and practices. It signifies our deep commitment to leave a positive impact on the environment, provide safe and healthy work environments for our staff and clients - who are beneficiaries of our services - and ensure that we act in the best interests of our stakeholders. Moving forward, to maintain and improve on our ratings, we will seek to find ways to better manage our climate footprint, enhance our labour standards and practices, and work more collaboratively with our suppliers to ensure that we continue to carry out our business in a responsible manner. We will also continue to work with partners who share our sustainability aspirations. Other highlights of our sustainability performance during the past year include: KEY INITIATIVES IN FY2022 To drive alignment and action towards achieving the goals of our roadmap, sustainability-based Key Performance Indicators (“KPIs”) have been included within our corporate scorecard.
