KENANGA ANNUAL REPORT 2020

107 ANNUAL REPORT 2020 // KENANGA INVESTMENT BANK BERHAD MOVING INTO 2021 Established in 1973 as one of Malaysia’s first stockbroking houses, and with Founder Emeritus & Adviser, YM Tan Sri Tengku Dato’ Paduka Noor Zakiah accepted as the first female member to Bursa Malaysia Securities Bhd, Kenanga is familiar with the concept of charting new territory with an eye on the future. As the investment landscape continues to evolve, so too will our sustainability journey. With regulators increasingly focused on climate-related risk mitigation, and the role of businesses in supporting Malaysia’s achievement of the SDGs becoming increasingly urgent, we recognise that creating sustainable shared value for all our stakeholders will become a key component of our strategic outlook. Practical steps for the coming year include the review of a multi-disciplinary Board-led Sustainability Governance Framework to manage EES matters relevant to our operations; to closer align the Group’s priorities to the SDGs to which we will contribute meaningfully; and to adopt an outlook that will set out clear goals to move us further towards integrating sustainability throughout the business.
