KENANGA ANNUAL REPORT 2017

Corporate sustainability has always been central to our business operations and governance. Our emphasis on continuously engaging with our different stakeholder groups; responding to the ever-changing financial landscape through innovation and collaboration; balancing commercial priorities with giving back to the community and a conscious effort towards raising environmental awareness and conservation, has served as a cornerstone to promote our growth and progress over the last four (4) decades – from a humble stockbroking company to one of the largest independent investment banks in the country today. We are committed to the journey as a financial services provider, business partner, employer, community member, environmental steward and a value creator for our shareholders. It is a dynamic process as we continually monitor the changing trends and demands around us, and endeavour to further incorporate appropriate sustainable practices within the organisation.
