2024 KEY HIGHLIGHTS
MANAGEMENT PHILOSOPHY

NIPSEA Group’s strategy for advancing our sustainability agenda is based on our philosophy of “Mutual Prosperity”.

This philosophy emphasises not only consistent financial performance but also environmental and social responsibility. We understand that long-term business success is intrinsically connected to the well-being of the communities we serve and the ecosystems on which we rely.

By embedding Environmental, Social, and Governance (“ESG”) factors into our operations, we strive to generate shared value for all stakeholders and ensure the long-term sustainability of both our company and the environment.

Our dedication surpasses mere regulatory compliance; we actively tackle significant sustainability challenges by utilising our expertise, innovation, and collaborations to foster substantial progress.

Materiality Assessment & Sustainability Framework

In FY2024, we conducted a Materiality Assessment to refine our material ESG topics and ensure that our sustainability framework remains relevant in the face of evolving regulatory requirements and market sentiments.

We conducted this assessment by engaging with our key customers and employees through one-on-one interviews and surveys. This process allowed us to obtain insights that were used to validate our updated material topics and inform our sustainability strategy.

In line with the Materiality Assessment, we revised the list of material ESG topics to a total of 11 material ESG topics- from 14 last year to provide a more focused view that is reflective of NIPSEA Group’s business needs.

Stakeholder Engagement

NIPSEA Group proactively addresses sustainability challenges and trends by engaging with a diverse range of stakeholders, including investors, customers, employees, suppliers, government and regulatory bodies, nongovernmental organisations (“NGOs”), and industry groups through various channels.

People & Communities

NIPSEA’s business approach aims to create tangible social impact in communities through our CSR Umbrella – Colouring Lives, in countries where we operate. Our priority is to invest in and foster growth in areas facing socio-economic challenges through three key CSR pillars: Education, Empowerment, and Engagement.

Providing access to education for
children and youths through establishing a collaborative learning platform and art & colour education programmes.

Health & Well-being
Enhancing the well-being of the
communities we operate in and ensuring that livelihood needs are met, especially during emergency circumstances.

Protection & Preservation
Refurbishing communal spaces to improve living conditions, preserve local cultural heritage sites, and promote environmental protection.

Equipping members of the community with skills and knowledge through vocational empowerment, training and
certification programmes, as well as the facilitation of job opportunities.

Through ongoing collaboration with local governments, business partners, and NGOs, we are dedicated to leveraging our assets and resources to best serve the community’s interests within the framework of our Colouring Lives CSR vision.
This vision is guided by the following approaches:
