At Singtel, we show how businesses can make a positive and lasting impact on the world even as we create shareholder value. There are four pillars of sustainability where we strive to:

• minimise our environmental footprint;

• develop and empower our people;

• connect and nurture the communities in which we operate, and

• create the best customer experience and foster ethical and responsible business practices.

The materiality assessment we conducted and our ongoing stakeholder engagement ensure that our strategy and programmes address what our internal and external stakeholders want.

Our efforts have not gone unnoticed. We received recognition in leading global sustainability listings, including the Financial Times Stock Exchange's FTSE4Good index, which measures the performance of companies’ environmental, social and governance practices. We were named one of the World’s Most Ethical Companies by Ethisphere Institute for the seventh year running. And for the first time, we were listed as one of the world’s 100 Most Sustainable Corporations by Canadian investment advisory firm Corporate Knights.
