Message from our Group Managing Director.

This year, we are honoured to have been awarded a 3-star rating in the FTSE4Good Index (December 2024) - a testament to our unwavering commitment to responsible business practices and environmental, social, and governance (ESG) excellence. This achievement reflects the progress we have made in integrating sustainability into our operations, as well as our ongoing efforts to enhance our ESG performance.

Guided by the I Am Protasco 3.0 (IAP 3.0) framework, we continue to push forward with transformative initiatives that strengthen our impact. We have set clear priorities, including continuous talent development, process and service innovation, and reinforcing our alignment with the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) and Climate Change. Our efforts extend to fostering eco-efficient communities and environmental conservation while upholding the highest standards of integrity and corporate governance.

Over the past year, we have taken significant strides in embedding sustainability across our businesses. Our road construction and maintenance projects incorporate environmentally responsible practices, while our clean energy initiatives contribute to the transition towards a low-carbon economy. Furthermore, our community engagement programmes remain a key pillar of our commitment to social well-being, particularly in education and empowerment.

While we celebrate our progress, we recognise that sustainability is an evolving journey. This recognition in the FTSE4Good Index further motivates us to raise the bar, drive continuous improvements, and strengthen our ESG leadership. We will continue to innovate, collaborate, and integrate sustainable solutions to ensure a positive, lasting impact for our stakeholders.

Thank you for your continued trust and support as we work together towards a more sustainable future.

Sincerely,Dato' Ir. Kenny Chong Ther NenChairman of Sustainability Steering Committee (SSC)Protasco Berhad

What frameworks does Protasco report against?

Protasco reports with reference to the Bursa Sustainability Reporting Guide, GRI Standards and the SASB Engineering and Construction index, and follows MCCG 2021 and the UN Sustainable Development Goals. The FY2025 Sustainability Report also includes the group's first IFRS S2 aligned climate disclosure, published ahead of Malaysia's National Sustainability Reporting Framework timeline for its reporting group.

What is Protasco's net-zero commitment?

Protasco's published Net-Zero GHG Emissions Transition Plan commits to net-zero emissions by 2050, with interim reductions of 50% by 2030 and 75% by 2040. These targets are under review as the group's climate reporting matures, and the full plan is available to download.

Who oversees sustainability at Protasco?

Oversight runs from the Board through the Board Risk Management Committee to the Sustainability Steering Committee, which is chaired by the Group Managing Director. Below it sit the Sustainability Working Committee and the division working committees, all coordinated by the Strategy and Sustainability Office. The Steering Committee reports half-yearly to the Board Risk Management Committee, with quarterly updates reaching the Board. See the full governance structure.

What is I Am Protasco (IAP 3.0)?

I Am Protasco 3.0 is the group's transformation framework for 2024 to 2030, themed "Leading with Sustainability and Innovation". It carries five critical success factors, talent management, culture transformation, digitalisation, business sustainability and business process innovation, and its five strategic goals are the group's five sustainability themes: Compliance and Integrity, Human Capital Development, Digitalisation, Humanity Care and Support, and Preservation and Conservation. Read about the framework on our corporate profile.

Where can I download Protasco's sustainability policies?

The group's ESG policies sit with the rest of its governance documents on the Corporate Governance page, including the Sustainability Policy, Supplier Code of Conduct, Whistleblowing Policy, Human Rights Policy and the Anti-Corruption and Cybersecurity policies. The Net-Zero GHG Emissions Transition Plan is a climate commitment rather than a governance policy, so it sits with the Environmental pillar.
