SENSE
Our Sustainability Approach
In line with our parent company, SENSE Training House, we subscribe to the Global Compact of United Nations, which references the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals (“SDGs”) and establishes a focus on four pillars: Green, Wellness, Caring and Smart. We integrate these two frameworks to report on the environmental and social issues material to the Group. Each of the four pillars of Global Compact is intricately linked with each of the four SDGs, that are most relevant to the Group and that enable us to have greater impact.
Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs)
The United Nations Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) tackle the most pressing environmental and social challenges of our time. As a responsible company, we pledge to protect the planet, and support stable and thriving societies. We identified four of the seventeen SDGs that are most relevant to us and that enable us to have the greatest impact. We aim to align our longer-term objectives with these goals.
Sustainability Targets
Environmental Targets
In 2020, we have announced our Environmental Targets for financial year (FY) 2030. Using FY2013 data as the baseline, our group-wide targets are to reduce greenhouse gas (GHG) intensity by 50%, energy intensity by 50% and water intensity by 30%, and to achieve at least 90% reuse of construction and demolition (C&D) materials by FY2030. These targets demonstrate our long-term commitment to being part of a low-carbon economy.
Social Targets
In 2020, we have introduced quantifiable social targets to promote caring and wellness by accumulating over 20 million beneficiaries by FY2030. Using FY2015 data as the baseline, these social targets could guide us in conducting our business and activities in ways that create shared value for our customers and related stakeholders.
Our Sustainability Management Framework
We believe that business success depends on sustainable development and creating shared value with our stakeholders. We are keenly aware of the impact our operations can have on the environment and communities if not properly managed. We therefore strive to contribute to the sustainable development of our business and society, going above and beyond compliance with laws and regulations. To oversee our sustainable development, we have a well-established framework of policies, dedicated committees and management systems. Together, these ensure we uphold our values of integrity, equity and transparency. We conduct regular policy and process reviews, staff training and communications, to ensure our approach to sustainability is well communicated and implemented.
