Our Sustainability

Environmental, Social and Governance (ESG)

The Board of Directors and Management of Hexcare are committed to applying Environmental, Social and Governance (ESG) considerations in our business decisions as we strive towards creating long term business success and value for our stakeholders. Guided by the internationally recognised United Nations Sustainability Development Goals and aspirations, we seek to adopt strategic approaches to support and empower communities, encourage social inclusivity and improve the long-term health of the natural environment we live in. At Hexcare, we also address climate change and reinforce our efforts towards decarbonization, in line with Malaysia’s goal towards Net Zero Carbon Emission by year 2050.

The balancing of ESG values with the interests of stakeholders is essential in improving investor perception and public trust that works towards value enhancement for stakeholders in the long run. We recognise that climate change, directly and indirectly, affects our profitability and sustainable growth, hence it is crucial to protect these by mitigating and adapting to climate related risks.

Hexcare also believes that as a responsible corporate citizen, one would have an obligation in making the earth a better place to live in through responsible investing, besides weighing on an appropriate risk-return profile for its investments. Accordingly, Hexcare incorporates these principles of sustainability in line with our core values of Integrity, Loyalty and Hard Work.
