Our stakeholders are increasingly joining the discussion
on what makes a sustainable company. At Singtel,
we are committed to an ongoing process to better
understand our internal and external drivers as we
strive to stay ahead of our competition and contribute
to sustainable development in the markets where we
operate. As a result, our sustainability strategies and
practices have been developed and refined over time. |
|
Environmental, social and governance issues and
performance are integral to our economic performance.
While our sustainability framework continues to be
based on the four key pillars of Marketplace, People,
Environment and Community, our current 14 key
sustainability goals will be reassessed and updated in
the next phase of our sustainability journey. |
|
Underpinning our aim to be a leading provider of
multimedia and ICT solutions, we must ensure that we meet the needs of our shareholders while increasing
the Group’s overall value. This has to include the
consideration of a number of non-financial factors
alongside more traditional and often better understood
financial indicators. |
|
Such aspirations include embracing responsible business
practices, being an employer of choice, managing our
environmental footprint and impact, supporting and
investing in community development, and engaging a
diverse group of stakeholders. |
|
Through this report, we hope to
provide an open and honest discourse with relevant
data and insights into Singtel's performance against
our stated goals. The reporting process also allows us
to continuously assess and develop our improvement
programmes and measure our progress in strategic
sustainability objectives. |
