SUSTAINABILITY REPORT 2017

Connecting Communities
Delivering Value
The cover of Cahya Mata Sarawak Berhad’s
2017 Sustainability Report portrays the Darul
Hana Bridge, Kuching’s iconic new landmark
which connects the northern and southern
parts of the city, and which CMS had a hand
in constructing. Our cover also carries the
theme ‘Connecting Communities. Delivering
Value’ which not only reflects the role that the
bridge is playing in integrating communities
and delivering tangible value, it also serves as
an expression of how CMS is doing its bit to
connect communities and deliver real value.
As a leading proponent of the Sarawak’s
growth story, CMS continues to identify
opportunities to help build and strengthen
linkages between markets, businesses and
communities, as well as create tangible
value for our key stakeholders. These include
the host of infrastructure projects and
related services required across the State
and the energy-intensive opportunities
under the Sarawak Corridor of Renewable
Energy (SCORE) initiative. By continuously
reinvesting into our core competencies
and expanding into related infrastructure
facilitation activities, we continue to create
a long-term, sustainable growth pathway
for both CMS and Sarawak, as well as good
value for our stakeholders. As we maximise
our participation in the Sarawak growth
story, CMS undoubtedly remain one of the
best proxy-listed investments for Sarawak’s
dynamic growth.
This is Cahya Mata Sarawak Berhad’s (CMS or the Group)
third Sustainability Report, which discloses our sustainability
achievements in a transparent and objective manner in line
with the Global Reporting Initiative or GRI Guidelines.
This Report serves as a tool to demonstrate to our stakeholders and other interested
parties how we continued to undertake our operations in a responsible and sustainable
manner throughout 2017.
Together with our Annual Report 2017, which highlights the financial aspects of
our business, these two reports provide a clear, comprehensive and transparent
representation of our performance in managing the Economic, Environmental and Social
(EES) aspects of our operations. Outlined below is detailed information on the scope and
criteria used when preparing this Report. There have been no changes to the boundaries
of this Report from the previous Sustainability Report 2016.
