GAB’s presence as a responsible corporate citizen in
the community that we operate in is expressed by the
commitment to practice business in a responsible
way, which also benefits our stakeholders and the
environment.
Through stringent self-regulation, we are able to
protect the integrity of GAB and the interest of our
stakeholders, while enhancing our competitiveness
and fiscal health. This then leads to complete
accountability as to how we are able to make a
difference to the community and environment as a
result of our marketplace policies that we practice.
This strategy to share the benefits which we generate
from our operations is also used to mitigate potential
risks when managing our finances and adjusting to
the regulations under which we operate.
Responsible Reporting
GAB’s transparent approach to reporting allows us to
responsibly share how we go about our business for
the benefit of our stakeholders, but it is also done
in a manner which does not expose any proprietary
strategic information. Details of the Company’s
controls and corporate governance measures can be
found in the Annual Report or at www.gab.com.my.
