Dear Valued Stakeholders, 2021 was yet another challenging year for us due to the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic which had a far-reaching impact on our operations globally. Amidst the economic and social pressures on our business, we recognised that staying true to our core values and sustainability commitment is more critical now than ever. Our ambition to embed sustainability into everything we do is instilled in our heritage, and will continue to serve as our compass to navigate these challenges in a manner that sustains our business, uplifts communities, and maintains environmental stewardship.

We have been able to demonstrate resilience and adaptability in the face of these unprecedented challenges. Our global footprint in some of the world’s most dynamic markets, along with the skills and diversity of our people, puts us in a unique position to build social resilience for our stakeholders and ensure business continuity with minimal disruption.

Sustainability – which fuels the wellbeing of future generations while protecting current resources – is deeply embedded into our corporate DNA and business strategies. Our sustainability focus has been integral in ensuring that we remain agile in undertaking transformative change. Some of our key efforts include enhancing business growth while staying attuned to the demands and expectations of the changing world. We are currently making enhancements to our sustainability framework, including the introduction of elements of performance management. Being able to quantify and track our progress in a structured manner will allow us to accurately assess new opportunities and risks that emerge in the post-pandemic world.

The climate crisis has emerged as one of the most pressing concerns of our time. To further our goal of contributing towards a greener future, Genting Malaysia seeks to capture and embark on new opportunities that allow us to grow our business in a sustainable manner. Our strong global presence was established by placing responsible resource consumption at the heart of our business. Over the years, we have set reduction targets and adopted industry best practices to systematically reduce our environmental footprint. In 2021, we have taken definitive steps towards enhancing our environmental disclosures by introducing baseline climatelinked disclosure, aligned with the recommendations set forth by the Taskforce on Climate Related Financial Disclosure.
