CHAIRMAN’S STATEMENT

2022 was a highly successful year for MBMR with recordbreaking revenue and profits. As we celebrate the Groupwide achievements, we are also proud that the exceptional performance was achieved on the back of progress made in our sustainability strategies and objectives in the year.

Key environmental achievements in 2022 involved the increase in our Group-wide reduce, reuse and recycle initiatives from the preceding year. These initiatives included the installation of solar panels in our manufacturing plants and continued Group-wide upgrades from conventional to LED lighting. We also reduced the Group’s water and electricity intensity consumption even with the resumption of normal operating hours and a substantial increase in our manufacturing numbers.

Waste management saw an improvement along with the expansion of our recycling initiatives. In our manufacturing companies, the continued maintenance of the ISO 14001 environmental management system accreditation provides the assurance to our stakeholders that our operations comply with environmental regulations while also generating cost-savings through more efficient use of resources and waste management.

On the social front, we strongly believe that our investment in people is a key driver of commercial success throughout the Group, underpinned by employee engagement and a firmly integrated culture of employee appreciation, development, diversity and inclusion. From providing a safe working environment, encouraging diversity and inclusion at all levels to remuneration and benefits benchmarking and ensuring that our employees are rewarded for their respective contributions, have access to training and career development opportunities, we will continue to attract and retain the best talent.

The talent development programmes for the upskilling of our employees were undertaken with this belief in mind. We have also expanded the talent development to the communities, most notably our pledge towards the establishment of MBMR’s Scholarship Programme to support the younger generation to gain access to quality education, details of which will be announced in due course.

Additionally, our social sustainability initiatives, which included wellness programmes and our CSR activities throughout the year have helped us in being recognised as a better employer engaged in more responsible business practices. The employee and customer satisfaction surveys conducted have achieved an encouraging score, an indication that our sustainability and business strategieshavehadapositiveeffectonour stakeholders. As we expand our efforts in the respective overarching pillars, it is our hope that the satisfaction scores would increase further.

Concurrently, digitalisation initiatives have also enabled us to build closer relationships with our dealers and customers in our motor trading companies, contributing to better overall sales and service figures. In our manufacturing companies, improved monitoring and adoption of automation has improved the operational efficiencies in our manufacturing plants.

As the Group widens the adoption of digitalisation initiatives, the ongoing deployment of our Data Protection and Cyber Security programmes under the Governance pillar have improved the Group’s Cyber Security infrastructure and awareness.

Our efforts to improve our Group’s businesses are supported by a robust governance, risk management and internal control framework and practices. We aim to instil the highest standards of integrity, honesty, and transparency within the Group. Other significant initiatives under the Governance pillar involve the implementation of fundamental Group-wide policies with the aim of improving overall governance within the Group. This includes the adoption of a new Group Enterprise Risk Management Policy and Framework to ensure effective identification, assessment and management of the Group’s risks in a holistic manner towards achieving the Group’s business objectives.

We see environmental, social, economic and governance priorities as an important part of our mission to be the automotive partner of choice to our stakeholders. Through our ongoing investments in knowledge development and management, operational excellence, innovative technology adoption and digitalisation, we continue to drive our businesses to directly address these pillars to help in ensuring the sustainability of our planet. We do not see an alternative. Therefore, we believe continuous improvements in the material sustainability matters that we have identified are aligned with delivering sustainable returns to our shareholders. Having embarked on our transformation journey since 2019 and with our commitment to continue on that course, we aim to deliver additional and continuous improvements.

Moving forward, existing initiatives undertaken by the Group under all four pillars of sustainability will be further refined and expanded. The Group will also seek to further improve disclosures in line with recent enhanced sustainability reporting requirements.
