Our Board of Directors (“the Board”) determines the overall direction for the Company’s sustainability strategies. The Audit and Risk Management Committee (“ARC”) under the stewardship of the Board evaluates and incorporates sustainability issues as part of the Group’s strategic formulation, and to approve, manage, and monitor ESG factors material to the business.
To drive organisation-wide sustainability initiatives, we have established a Sustainability Team (“the Team”) consisting of employees from various departments with a diversity of experience and background. The Team is responsible for implementing and formalising sustainability policies and procedures, management processes, and sustainability development standards. It also supports and provides adequate resources to various functional units to perform the established sustainability processes and practices.
The Team works closely with AEM’s Sustainability Steering Committee (“SSC”), comprised of our senior management team. The SSC, set up to support the Company’s efforts in driving sustainability-related efforts, is responsible for implementing AEM’s sustainability objectives and strategy, managing and monitoring overall sustainability performance, and ensuring the Board is regularly updated on AEM’s sustainability progress. With the support of the Team, the SSC helps the ARC and the Board determine the Company’s material economic, environmental, and social aspects and set quantitative and qualitative targets for the forthcoming year.
In FY2021, COVID-19 regulations and restrictions have made traditional in-person meetings difficult. However, AEM is committed to understanding and safeguarding our stakeholders’ interests. We continue to engage all our stakeholder groups by updating AEM developments and receiving feedback on digital platforms such as LinkedIn and our Corporate Website.
We identify our stakeholders as groups that 1) impact our business, 2) impacted by our business, and 3) provide expertise in material factors such as external organisations. Our stakeholders’ feedback helps us determine our material topics and identify our focus areas. AEM is committed to listening to our stakeholders, and we welcome their concerns and expectations via our webpage: https://aem.com.sg/contact
