Sustainability Report highlights and benefits – MISC Berhad’s 2015 Sustainability Report published

MISC Berhad (MISC) announced the publication of its 2015 Sustainability Report, covering the company’s commitments, strategy, performance and progress towards its sustainability goals for 2015.

President/Group Chief Executive Officer Yee Yang Chien said that sustainability remains an integral part of MISC’s operations, from the way it conducts its business to how employees are managed, environmental impact reduced and positive impact created for local communities.

“Our systematic and structured approach in managing MISC’s sustainability performance over the past few years involves a continuous endeavour to conduct our business operations in a responsible and sustainable manner, define and enhance relationships with our key stakeholders as well as ensure holistic value creation over time. 2015 marks a significant milestone in MISC’s commitment to sustainability as we refreshed our Vision and Mission to ensure sustainability is central to the way we conduct business,” he said.

MISC’s refreshed Vision defines the Group’s aspiration ‘to consistently provide better energy related maritime solutions and services’, while its revitalized Mission calls for the Group to be consistently better by striving to fulfil the expectations of, and making a positive impact on, its five key stakeholder groups: customers, employees, communities, the environment and shareholders.
