Sustainability at JC&C

At JC&C, sustainability is embedded in how we do business. We are shaping our Environmental, Social and Governance (“ESG”) agenda to deliver long-term sustainable value for our stakeholders. With our ambition to grow faster than Southeast Asia, sustainably, our approach takes into account both financial and non-financial factors that contribute to the long-term value creation of our businesses.

JC&C holds a diversified portfolio of business interests that span a wide range of industries. Groupwide policies are in place to coordinate our ESG efforts, and we partner with our portfolio companies to ensure sound corporate governance, professionalism and ethical business conduct. Together, we critically examine the sustainability of the businesses and operations, as well as design appropriate roadmaps that will enable our portfolio companies to stay competitive, relevant and a market leader.

Sustainability Framework

As an investment holding group, our sustainability framework is rooted in the governance and transparency of our portfolio businesses. The framework drives us towards our long-term sustainability goals by balancing shareholder value with ethical practices and a forward-thinking mindset. Through strategic planning and resource management, we enhance business resilience while moving towards a more sustainable future. We further align our ambitions with the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals to foster positive change.

The Board of Directors is the highest governance body at JC&C. The Board, together with the management team, are responsible for overseeing corporate governance. Meeting five times a year, sustainability is included on the agenda at each meeting. Annually, the Board re-evaluates material ESG topics to integrate into the Group’s strategy and portfolio management, and the Board-level Audit & Risk Committee oversees all risks, including ESG and climate-related concerns.

At the management level, the Executive Committee shapes JC&C’s overall sustainability strategy, and incorporates sustainability matters into annual budget discussions and long-term planning. To ensure our alignment with sustainability goals, ESG considerations also influence management’s performance incentives.
