Under the Board’s delegation, the Group’s Sustainability Steering Committee (the “Committee”) is chaired by our Executive Director and Board member, which has direct advisory supervision on the Group’s sustainability strategy, workplans and performance targets.

The Committee which comprises senior executives of key functions and business units meets biannually to review the Group’s sustainability plans and receive quarterly reports from the sub-committees. The Committee shoulders the responsibility for overseeing the Group’s sustainability agenda, strategies, policies and performances.

The following diagram illustrates our sustainability governance framework:

Sustainable Finance

The Group recognises sustainable finance as a key course to facilitate long-term investments in sustainable economic activities and projects. We established a sustainable finance framework to further set out how the utilisation of sustainable finance instruments would contribute to the Group’s sustainability strategy and vision. The framework has been assured with a second-party opinion (SPO)  to align with market practices and expectations from the investment community.
