CHAIRMAN’S STATEMENT

Throughout our history, one driving force has remained constant: our commitment to being the Automotive Partner of Choice for our Employees, Customers, and Investors.

Our primary goal is to deliver sustainable performance and returns to our investors. But beyond the numbers, we recognise the importance of contributing to social development and environmental protection. Our sustainability objectives aren’t lofty ideals; they’re practical necessities for our long-term success. By integrating sustainability into our business practices, we ensure our resilience and relevance in an ever-changing world. Through responsible environmental practices, social engagement, and ethical governance, we pave the way for enduring prosperity.

In 2022, MBMR established our Sustainability Policy and Framework alongside a governance structure. This foundational framework not only laid out our overarching sustainability goals but also provided the necessary infrastructure for effective monitoring and implementation. Within this framework, a set of sustainability targets was delineated to serve as key performance indicators, guiding our progress in this crucial domain.

Building upon this groundwork, MBMR embarked on a journey of oversight for our sustainability performance and initiatives. Quarterly sustainability performance and reporting mechanisms were introduced to ensure meticulous tracking of our sustainability endeavours. These regular assessments allowed us to gauge our progress, identify areas for improvement, and adapt our strategies accordingly.

The year 2023 marked a significant milestone in our sustainability journey, characterised by notable advancements in our initiatives. Board members and Management participated in the Sustainability Leadership Series organised by the Group, featuring esteemed speakers. Topics covered included ESG trends, the Carbon Market, and policies related to sustainability, among others.

Additionally, a comprehensive materiality assessment was conducted during this period to identify our most pressing sustainability issues and align our strategies accordingly. This exercise not only offered clarity on the focal points for reporting but also served as a strategic guidepost for our sustainability endeavors. By directing our resources towards addressing the most pertinent challenges, we ensured that our sustainability efforts remained focused and impactful.

Furthermore, MBMR expanded its reporting framework to include carbon emission tracking for Scope 1 and 2 emissions. This enhancement, coupled with the standardisation of data collection and calculation methodologies, bolstered the accuracy and reliability of our sustainability reporting efforts. By aligning our reporting practices with industry standards and best practices, we ensure transparency and accountability in our sustainability journey.

Our strides in environmental management have taken a notable leap forward. At the OMI steel wheel plant in Shah Alam, we augmented our sustainability efforts by installing a 330 kilowatts peak (“kWp”) solar panel array. This addition complements the solar panels previously installed at HASB and AHSB in 2022, along with the OMI Shah Alam tyre assembly plant in 2021. Additionally, we upgraded the existing air compressors to invertor air compressors at the OMI Shah Alam facility, a move aimed at reducing our carbon footprint and energy consumption.

In tandem with these initiatives, waste management witnessed ongoing enhancements, accompanied by the expansion of recycling programmes across all MBMR businesses. Within our manufacturing units, the steadfast maintenance of ISO 14001 environmental management system accreditation serves as a testament to our commitment to environmental stewardship. This accreditation not only assures stakeholders of our compliance with environmental regulations but also generates cost-savings through improved resource efficiency and waste management practices.

Investing in our most valuable asset, our people, remains paramount to our strategic advancement. We hold firm to the belief in fostering focused employee engagement and a deeply integrated culture of appreciation and development. Ensuring a safe working environment is foundational to our approach, underpinned by comprehensive health and safety programmes, as well as regular audits and inspections. Moreover, we prioritise talent development programmes aimed at upskilling our workforce, providing them with opportunities to enhance both technical and soft skills. These initiatives underscore our commitment to nurturing the potential of our employees and empowering them to thrive in their roles.

We perceive digitalisation as a catalyst for advancing our strategic objectives. In the past year, we implemented Internet of Things (“IoT”) monitoring systems, facilitating production and maintenance monitoring at the 400 tonnes hydraulic press machine at HASB. Additionally, we introduced a Supervisory Control and Data Acquisition (“SCADA”) system at OMI for real-time data capturing and analysis. These digitalisation initiatives have not only enhanced monitoring capabilities but also paved the way for greater automation, thereby boosting operational efficiencies across our manufacturing plants.

At MBMR, we remain committed to enriching the communities surrounding our operations. To this end, we prioritise local suppliers along our supply chain where possible, ensuring both cost optimisation and adherence to quality requirements. These concerted efforts underscore our dedication to fostering mutually beneficial relationships with our local communities.

Further, our efforts to enhance our Group’s businesses are underpinned by a sturdy governance, risk management, and internal control framework and practices. We are steadfast in our commitment to instilling the highest standards of integrity, honesty, and transparency within the Group.

As part of our governance initiatives, we have implemented fundamental Group-wide policies aimed at bolstering overall governance within the Group. One notable initiative is the adoption of a new Group Governance Framework to promote the adoption of good corporate governance practices and to minimise the risk of governance failures within the Group. The Group Governance Framework sets out the Group’s governance structure including all policies and procedures with the aim of setting the tone for leadership and culture within the Group towards alignment of strategies and priorities across the Group.

Through continuous investments in knowledge development, operational excellence, innovative technology adoption, and digitalisation, we are driving our businesses to directly address these pillars and contribute to the sustainability of our planet. We firmly believe that there is no alternative to sustainability, and as such, we are committed to making continuous improvements in the material sustainability matters we have identified, aligning them with delivering sustainable returns to our shareholders.

Looking ahead, the future holds great promise for MBMR. In 2024, we are poised to incorporate sustainability targets which are linked to performance remuneration across all operating companies and introduce Scope 3 Carbon Emission reporting in our disclosures. Moreover, our facilities will increasingly transition to renewable energy sources over time, further solidifying our commitment to environmental stewardship. As we prepare for reporting against the Task Force on Climate-Related Financial Disclosure, we remain steadfast in our dedication to upholding the integrity of our content, as evidenced by the independent limited assurance on the selected sustainability indicators in our 2023 Sustainability Report disclosure.

With sustainability as our guiding principle, MBMR is primed to embark on a journey of continued growth, innovation, and responsible business practices. Together, let us forge ahead, shaping a more sustainable future for generations to come.
