Tropicana Corporation Berhad Annual Report 2019

O n behalf of the Group, it brings us immense pride to present Tropicana Corporation Berhad’s Sustainability Report, our third in this series, for the 2019 financial year end. Year on year, we build upon our commitment to report the Group’s economic, environmental and social (“ EES ”) risks and opportunities with the overarching goal of creating a sustainable value chain that will benefit our stakeholders. In line with our vision to be a leading property developer in Malaysia that delivers innovative and quality products to enhance stakeholders’ value, we undertake the role of integrating sustainable development by establishing reporting and monitoring measures of the Group’s EES performance to identify risks and opportunities that are material to us. Sustainability Governance and Material Matters During the first two years, we focused our efforts on building a strong foundation to implement sustainable development measures. We achieved this by forming a sustainability framework, comprising a Sustainability Governance Structure and Materiality Matrix. In the short and medium-term, our Sustainability Governance Structure will hold a pivotal role in enforcing sustainable practices endorsed by our Board of Directors. Guided by our Materiality Matrix, the Group successfully identified material sustainability matters that are a priority to the Group’s overall business operations and our stakeholders’ expectations. This year, we introduced Occupational Safety and Health as well as Contractor Management as part of our data disclosure; both of which are ranked as ‘Medium Priority’ in our Materiality Matrix. The Group places a strong emphasis on the safety performance and record of the contractors we hire, ensuring that there are measures in place to protect the safety and well-being of our stakeholders. In the coming years, we strive to continue our excellence in safety records while also implementing measures that would raise our health and safety standards. In terms of Contractor Management, we emphasise our commitment to responsible management by encouraging a network of open communication between our project team and the contractors we hire. This is to ensure that any risks, concerns, opportunities or areas of improvement can be openly communicated and addressed. We believe that this measure can enhance the way we design, build and develop sustainable commercial and residential projects that would benefit society as a whole.
