FGV Annual Integrated Report 2019

10 FGV HOLDINGS BERHAD EMBEDDING SUSTAINABILITY INTO OUR BUSINESS SUSTAINABILITY STATEMENT At FGV, we understand and realise the importance of being socially and environmentally responsible as we execute our business activities. It is a core belief that creating value for our stakeholders must be carried out hand-in-hand with initiatives that support the communities around us and limit our negative impact on the environment. Thus, FGV has committed to respecting human rights in line with the United Nations Guiding Principles on Business and Human Rights (UNGPs) as well as to embedding sustainability into every part of our value-creation chain. The Group has determined that sustainability is one of the key enablers to help us achieve the objectives of our Business Plan 2019-2021 (BP21). By addressing sustainability issues, we will effectively be solving business issues. This has therefore enabled a natural progression to approach everything we do in a sustainable way. In this context, we have: • Further reinforced our Group Sustainability Policy (GSP) to include our vendors and business partners in our sustainability journey. • Continued our progress to attain full traceability. • Built strategic partnerships with organisations that can help improve our labour practices. • Supported our smallholders to obtain sustainability certification. • Contributed time, effort and resources to conservation programmes for both flora and fauna. As this is the fifth year of integrated reporting for FGV, we have taken the decision to digitise our Sustainability Report (SR) to support better accessibility and to be environmentally-friendly. The Sustainability Report 2018/2019 can be found on our website at: Our sustainability reporting practices adhere to Bursa Securities’ Sustainability Reporting Guide. We are also guided by the Global Reporting Initiative Standards on sustainability reporting, IIRC Framework and other global best practices.
