Bursa Malaysia •
Annual Report 2015
To improve the market ecosystem and strengthen our
own sustainability practices:
• We amended the Main Market and ACE Market
Listing Requirements to liberalise related party
transactions, enhance regularisation plans for
financially distressed listed issuers and provide
better clarity on the admission criteria and post-
listing obligations of the ACE Market, among
others. We issued guidance on rebates on
commission for equity brokers and introduced
the Bursa Malaysia Derivatives (“BMD”) Clearing
Disclosure Framework.
• We launched a new Listing Information Network
System (“Bursa LINK”) and an online listing
enquiry service dubbed AskListing@Bursa.
• Our BMD was granted registration as a Foreign
Board of Trade by the U.S. Commodity Futures
Trading Commission (“CFTC”), which enables
BMD’s identified members and other participants
located in the U.S. to enter trades directly into its
electronic trading platform on Chicago Mercantile
Exchange (“CME”) Globex to trade BMD products.
• We co-hosted the ASEAN Capital Market CEO
Summit 2015 to heighten interest in the ASEAN
Exchanges Collaboration Project as well as build
an informed investment community and promoted
our offerings through initiatives such as Invest
Malaysia, Palm and Lauric Oils Conference &
Exhibition (“POC”) 2015, 2
nd
Gold & Precious
Metals Price Outlook Conference, the inaugural
Financial Markets Price Outlook Conference, CBRS
Research Scheme, Workshop@Bursa, Evening
with Bursa, Investment Talks, CPE Accredited
Product-Centric Workshops, Structured Warrants
Masterclass, Minggu SahamAmanah Malaysia and
Derivatives Day. We also supported our partners in
their efforts to promote the capital markets, such
as Malaysian Biotechnology Corporation Sdn Bhd
in educating its BioNexus status and Bio-economy
group of companies on their journey to listing on
Bursa Malaysia.
• We enhanced our Securities Transaction Policy,
revised our Purchasing Manual and reported
our sustainability practices in our standalone
Sustainability Report.
ENVIRONMENTAL
We have taken steps to manage our environmental
impact in 2015. However our plan in the future is to
review our sustainability approach and disclosure
and further identify environmental matters that may
be material to our business. While we complied with
all relevant legislation and received no environmental
management complaints last year, we strived to
reduce or avoid any impact of our operations on the
environment, setting a Greenhouse Gases (“GHG”)
emission reduction target as one of the Key Performance
Indicators (“KPIs”).
Electricity consumption makes up 96% of our GHG
emissions with paper consumption and business air
travel making up the rest. We set an internal quantified
GHG emission reduction target of 0.5% year-on-year
to ensure that we continue to find ways to avoid any
impact on the environment. Our detailed five years’
energy consumption and operations GHG emissions
data with all the methodologies, assumptions and
conversion factors used can be found in our SR2015, in
which our water usage and waste data is also reported.
We promote responsible environmental protection
among our employees and stakeholders. We support
the Government’s efforts in formulating appropriate
climate change policies for the country such as the
National Corporate GHG Reporting Programme for
Malaysia (“MyCarbon”).
We reduced our GHG emissions from electricity usage
and paper consumption by 0.4% year-on-year.
SOCIAL
We are committed to being an employer that employs
good labour and human rights practices for our 596
employees of diverse background. Our Talent Council
reviews and approves Talent Management framework,
direction and strategy, development programmes and
interventions for our talent pool. We offer competitive
benefits and compensation to attract and retain the
best talents for the sustainability of our company
and marketplace. We engage with and invest in our
employees, supporting their personal and professional
development, inculcating work-life balance and
ensuring their health and safety.
