Sustainability Reports 2022/23
Climate Change Management Enhancing our climate resilience and preparedness to address climate risks is important and urgent. This year, we stepped up our efforts by engaging a third-party consultant to perform a detailed climate risk assessment, with scenario analysis. The results allow us to understand the potential impacts of climate change on our operations and value chain, and enable us to devise mitigation and adaptation strategies. Going forward, we will continue to review and enhance our climate risk assessment, to better understand the impact of climate change. We have adopted the Task Force on Climate-related Financial Disclosures (TCFD) framework for our climate disclosures. Its four pillars are governance, strategy, risk management, and metrics and targets. We will continually enhance our TCFD reporting to respond to stakeholders’ expectations and align with best practices. Governance Strategy Risk management Metrics and targets • Our Board of Directors (‘the Board’) is responsible for leading and overseeing the Group’s ESG issues. The Board, via the Executive Committee, is engaged in developing and integrating ESG strategies into the Group’s long-term development plan, ensuring effective ESG risk management and internal control systems are in place, in which ESG risk elements, including climate-related risks, are taken into consideration during the decision-making process • The Executive Committee is responsible for implementing ESG strategies, evaluating and prioritizing material issues, including climate-related risks.
