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.
