CORPORATE SUSTAINABILITY

STATEMENT

TO OUR SHAREHOLDERS

Our sustainability leadership is led by our Board of Directors (“Board”),

which oversees and ensures that Bursa Malaysia pursues its regulatory

and commercial objectives, and remains a responsible and sustainable

organisation. Information on the Board, Board Charter, Governance Model,

Board Committees and their Terms of Reference is available on our

corporate website.

Our Chief Executive Officer (“CEO”) fortifies Bursa Malaysia’s sustainability

practices across the management and operational fronts with a separate

Group Management Governance Framework. The CEO who leads the

Sustainability Committee reports to the Board of Bursa Malaysia on regular

basis, providing updates as well as relevant proposals on the Group’s

sustainability strategy and performance for the Board’s review and approval.

We interact with a large number of different stakeholder groups. We

empower all our business and functional units to regularly engage with

their respective stakeholders on their chosen platforms to ensure that

key issues impacting our stakeholders are addressed in our practices and

business strategies.

We are in the process of reviewing our sustainability approach and

disclosing our sustainability practices and performances based on

Economic, Environmental and Social (“EES”) considerations, transitioning

from reporting based on the four Corporate Social Responsibility dimensions

namely Marketplace, Workplace, Environment and Community.

Our stakeholders should read this Statement together with our standalone

Sustainability Report (“SR”) as the latter provides a more comprehensive

coverage of our approach in managing our material EES risks and

opportunities.We first issued our standalone SR in 2011 and have continued

to do so annually. Our SRs have made reference to Global Reporting

Initiative

(“GRI”) G3 and subsequently, to G4 Sustainability Reporting

Guidelines.

We have previously reported our

sustainability initiatives, categorised

into three priority areas namely:

• Responsible and Ethical Practices;

• Reaching out to Community; and

• Managing our impact on the

Environment.
