HWL’s Environmental, Social and Governance (“ESG”) Committee, chaired by an Executive Director with representatives from key departments of the Company including Human Resources, Corporate Affairs, Information Services, Management Services and Legal, will continue its key focus areas in the coming year of environment, staff development and training, and community involvement. In the coming year, the Committee will conduct a series of campaigns to enhance the efficient use of energy and other resources through recycling and reduction in consumption. The Committee also hopes to bring colleagues across the Group closer together through friendly competitions.

The ESG Committee will continue to formulate guidelines and spearhead initiatives that can be implemented on a company-wide level.
