Chemical Company of Malaysia Berhad Sustainability Report 2018

Our Contribution To The United Nation’s Sustainable Development Goals Agenda 2030 for Sustainable Development, which was launched in 2015 and has been ratified by 193-member states including Malaysia, is the world’s first comprehensive blueprint for sustainable development that is aimed towards ending poverty, protecting the planet and ensuring prosperity for all. A blueprint developed by the United Nations, the agenda is built on the tenets of 17 Sustainable Development Goals or SDGs as they are commonly known. The spirit of the agenda is that responsible businesses and investments are essential for achieving transformational change through the SDGs. Although it is evident that no single business entity can alone be responsible for sustainable development, the concerted effort of a business entity in working together with other businesses can achieve the goals and targets of the 17 UN goals. Through the responsible production, use, and management of chemicals and polymers at CCM, we are able to support the SDGs through innovative products and practices that mitigate negative operational impact, protect the environment, promote social progress, and support economic growth. Our approach is to explore ways in which we can contribute to achieving the SDGs through more effectively managing our own environmental footprint, working with others to enhance capacity along the value chain, as well as leveraging on our expertise and innovation to unlock new business opportunities that are aligned with the SDGs. 14 SUSTAINABILITY REPORT 2018
