ALEXANDER JOHN CURTIS
Group Managing Director
Since the publication of our inaugural Sustainability Report a year ago,
several positive developments have taken place that underscore the good
progress we have been making in our pursuit of sustainable growth.
DEAR STAKEHOLDERS,
I AM DELIGHTED TO PRESENT
CAHYA MATA SARAWAK BERHAD’S
(CMS OR THE GROUP) SECOND
STANDALONE SUSTAINABILITY REPORT
WHICH ACCENTUATES OUR COMMITMENT
TO UNDERTAKING BUSINESS IN A
RESPONSIBLE AND SUSTAINABLE MANNER
ON THE ECONOMIC, ENVIRONMENTAL AND
SOCIAL (EES) FRONTS.
On 19 December 2016, the Group was included as a constituent of the
FTSE4Good Bursa Malaysia (F4GBM) Index. A globally-recognised index
launched by the FTSE Group and owned by the London Stock Exchange,
the F4GBM Index measures and recognises companies across the world
who are demonstrating strong Environmental, Social and Governance (ESG)
practices. In Malaysia, F4GBM Index constituents are selected from the Top
200 Malaysian stocks on Bursa Malaysia and screened in accordance with
transparent ESG criteria. In total, there are 42 constituents in the F4GBM
Index today.
Our inclusion into the F4GBM marks a milestone for CMS. Not only do we
gain international recognition for our corporate responsibility practices, it
also reinforces our position as a progressive and ethical company. Moreover,

as a company that is upholding a sustainably based and thus safer, long-
term business model which will enhance our appeal to our stakeholders and
others.
This achievement is a result of the worthy efforts put in by the entire Group
including our Board, Senior Management team and employees. To maintain
this recognition (which is reviewed annually), we now have the responsibility
for constantly exceeding our Sustainability KPI (SKPI) targets and to ensure
comprehensive reporting in our annual Sustainability Report. My heartfelt
thanks to the entire CMS family for this excellent achievement.
The year in review also saw us making solid progress by way of our Economic,
Environmental and Social performance.
