The GRI Content Index can be found on pages 94-96. We have further aligned our ESG disclosures with the following: • Bursa Malaysia Securities Berhad (“Bursa Securities”) Sustainability Reporting Guide (3rd Edition) • United Nations Sustainable Development Goals (“UN SDGs”) • Recommendations of the Task Force on Climate-related Financial Disclosures (“TCFD”) • Joint Committee on Climate Change (“JC3”)’s TCFD Application Guide for Malaysian Financial Institutions • Bank Negara Malaysia’s Climate Change and Principle-based Taxonomy (“BNM CCPT”) • United Nations Global Compact (“UNGC”)’s Ten Principles The Report also serves as a Communication on Progress (“CoP”) report as part of our commitment to UNGC. In preparation of this Report, the ESG performance and disclosures were also benchmarked against internationally recognised ESG ratings and frameworks, primarily focusing on FTSE Russell’s ESG Ratings and industry-relevant Sustainability Accounting Standards Board (“SASB”) indicators, which provide guidance in improving our reporting transparency and disclosures whilst reinforcing our sustainability strategies and direction. The GHG emissions were calculated using an international assurance standard, the GHG Protocol Corporate Standard, developed by the World Business Council for Sustainable Development and the World Resources Institute (“WBCSD/ WRI”).
