147 ANNUAL INTEGRATED REPORT 2021 HOW WE ARE GOVERNED REINFORCING SUSTAINABILITY ADDITIONAL INFORMATION ALIGNMENT TO UNITED NATIONS SUSTAINABLE DEVELOPMENT GOALS We believe in achieving sustainable development, we should act in solidarity with the global community as part of a global partnership contributing collectively to peace and prosperity for people and the planet, now and into the future. Accordingly, we incorporate applicable Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) and their targets into our operations to meet the growing expectations from the public. We also see this as a viable approach to help strengthen our sustainability practices and improve our business performance in the long-term. It also provides us with business opportunities, in areas including food and agriculture, energy and materials, created with the achievement of the SDGs. These are the 17 SDGs which we believe we can contribute to the most, through our sustainable business activities. These cover areas throughout our value chain. Please refer to the Sustainability Report on the mapping of relevant SDGs to our Material Matters. FGV’S GROUP SUSTAINABILITY POLICY Our GSP 4.0 guides and informs our approach to sustainability. Our GSP revolves around three pillars namely, Promoting Economic Growth, Respecting Human Rights and Protecting the Environment which shapes our strategies to build a strong and sustainable business for the long term. PROMOTING ECONOMIC GROWTH We are committed to long-term economic growth and will seek every opportunity to develop new sustainable earning streams that deliver value to our shareholders and stakeholders. RESPECTING HUMAN RIGHTS We are committed to respecting human rights by upholding international human rights principles and standards as encapsulated in international human rights treaties and instruments, subject to the laws and regulations of the countries and territories in which FGV Group of Companies operates. PROTECTING THE ENVIRONMENT FGV Group recognises the impact of climate change and will play our part in reducing Greenhouse Gas (GHG) emissions in line with our Nationally Determined Contributions (NDC) under the Paris Agreement. FGV Group values its natural resources and endeavours to eliminate or minimise negative impact on the environment through the implementation of best practices. FGV is firmly committed to No Deforestation, No Peat, No Exploitation (NDPE). SUSTAINABILITY GOVERNANCE The Board, being ultimately responsible for the management of the Group, provides leadership and policy direction on sustainability matters. A range of focused committees support the Board in the overall management of the Group, including on sustainability matters. A dedicated governance structure is established with clear reporting lines to ensure that the GSP is implemented in the spirit and manner it is intended. The roles and responsibilities of the sustainability governing body are depicted in the following diagram.
