About this report
ABOUT THIS REPORT
This is our fifth biennial stand-alone Corporate Responsibility (CR) Report, covering
activities for the financial years 2012-2013, unless stated otherwise.
SCOPE
The report boundary covers all CR related activities of Guinness Anchor Berhad (GAB) and
its subsidiaries, unless stated otherwise. It does not cover outsourced operations, such as
transport and logistics. Data collection methods have not been altered and data is provided
on a best-effort basis. Any limitation to the reported figures is noted throughout the report.
REPORTING STANDARD
Our approach is based on the principles of AA1000 AccountAbility Principles of inclusivity,
materiality and responsiveness. We are reporting against the Global Reporting Initiative
(GRI) G3.1 at application C. A report at this application level has allowed us to disclose more
in depth of our initiatives and demonstrate impacts on what we believe are most material to
our business.
ASSESSING MATERIALITY
The content of this report includes issues raised through our various stakeholder
engagement channels. We believe this provides a basis for a materiality assessment and
balance of this report. This helps us prioritise issues which are key to both our stakeholders
and crucial to our business success.
DATA VERIFICATION
We understand that credible and robust data forms the building blocks of any report. To
address the gap left by a formal assurance process in terms of data veri cation, we have
engaged the services of an independent organisation to check our report data. A sample of
our environmental data was veri ed by Rapid Genesis Sdn Bhd.
