Our Long Term Sustainability Goals
Stakeholder Engagement and Materiality Identification

We continue to commit to our stakeholder engagement activities as a key component of our business and sustainability strategies. By defining our stakeholders who have different influences on our business success and what matters most to them, we identify the material aspects, develop this year’s reporting framework and our long term sustainability strategy.
Aligning with the GRI materiality process, we engaged both internal and external stakeholders through a variety of interactions and conversations, so as to understand their expectations and to identify our major impacts. We believe these are the effective ways to achieve our sustainability goals.

Structure of ASA2030

To ensure sustainability is embedded fully into the business, we integrated the sustainability risk and opportunity management approach in our corporate governance framework; together with core elements of legal compliance and ethical business behavior, this becomes the solid foundation underpinning the ASA2030, also guiding our very actions for the attainment of our sustainability goals.

Resulting from the stakeholder engagement, in which our stakeholders let us know their major concerns and their suggestions to our sustainable growth, and the subsequent materiality assessment, we organized the material aspects into four pillars of PEOPLE, COMMUNITY, RESOURCES and INNOVATION.

With the framework of the ASA2030, we’ll assess the material aspects and determine plans and actions for addressing these material aspects for each pillar during each stakeholder engagement and reporting cycle. This arrangement enables us to be more strategic and focused when determining our sustainability goals and actions; while it also allows ourselves and our stakeholders to keep track of our progress in attaining the sustainability ambitions through to 2030.
