Tropicana Corporation Berhad Annual Report 2019

Economic Aspects With the support of our Board of Directors and top management, we navigated the challenging industry by future-proofing our business with sustainable aspirations that would deliver value in the long run. As the Group continues to mature, we endeavour to inculcate aspects of EES into our investment and development considerations. Our foremost focus remains on ensuring economic stability and maintaining a healthy growth of the business, which would in turn increase stakeholder confidence in the Tropicana brand. Social Aspects Social contributions to causes that are within the scope of our Tropicana Foundation continue to receive generous support from the Group. Our main goal is to uplift the well-being of the communities in which we have a presence in. This year, the Tropicana Foundation contributed to various social responsibility causes via sponsorships, contributions and donations that have benefitted programmes and activities targeted to enhance community health, well-being and education. With respect to our workforce, we highly credit our pool of talents for the Group’s continuous success in the industry. To maintain an efficient and skilled workforce, we invested in learning and development training programmes for our employees. This is to ensure that our teams are given various opportunities to enhance their skillsets within the industry, promote career development and ultimately, create job satisfaction across the Group. Environmental Aspects From an environmental standpoint, our developments integrate the natural environment by connecting community spaces with efficient land-use. In addition to capitalising on green-oriented building designs, we develop townships with facilities that can fully sustain a functional community with educational, institutional, and business facilities. These amenities are created with the aim of minimising the distance between work, education, living and leisure areas which will subsequently reduce overall travel time and minimise vehicular-related emissions. While we have many areas to improve on our environmental commitment and initiatives, we undertake this challenge with optimism, catering to the growing public awareness on climate change. In the coming year, we will work to further improve our environmental practices that include energy efficiency, compliance, waste management and biodiversity. As we continue to improve our reporting mechanism, we endeavour to enhance our data collection and monitoring exercises. This in turn allows us to identify gaps, trends and areas of improvements that can be formalised to further enhance the Group’s EES performance in the long run. On behalf of our Board of Directors and the management team, we would like to extend our appreciation and gratitude to our stakeholders for their continuous commitment, loyalty and confidence in the Group during this challenging economic environment. We will continue to move forward from here, making strides in sustainable development and long-term value creation that would benefit current and future generations alike. Thank you.
