About
this Report
This is GAB’s sixth biennial stand-alone Corporate
Responsibility (CR) Report, covering activities
for financial years (FY) 2014 and 2015, 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 in the report.
Reporting standard
This report is based on the Global Reporting Initiative (GRI) G4 Sustainability Reporting
Guidelines, in accordance with the Core level requirements outlined in the G4 reporting
standards.
Assessing materiality
The G4 guidelines put materiality at the centre of the reporting process. The content of
this report includes issues raised through our various stakeholder engagement channels.
The stakeholder engagement matrix is a summary based on engagements with GAB’s
management and employees, as well as representatives from suppliers and distributors.
We believe this provides a basis for a materiality assessment, which has guided the
content and balance of this report. This helps us prioritise issues that are both key to our
stakeholders and crucial for our business success. Please refer to the GRI index for more
detailed information on these performance indicators.
Data verification
GAB undertook a structured assessment of the Company’s environmental performance to
ensure the sustainability data is reliable and accurate. GAB appointed an independent third
party, Rapid Genesis Sdn Bhd, a consulting company specialising in carbon footprinting,
to provide independent verification for this report. The environmental data in this report
has been reviewed and the accuracy and reliability of its statements and figures validated.
