OUR APPROACH
Our sustainability strategy
MISC developed its Sustainability Strategy 2021-2025 through six employee workshops. These sessions included employees from different business units and subsidiaries, representing diverse perspectives. Together, we identified the ESG factors relevant to MISC and incorporated our strategic priorities. Our goal is to contribute to the global sustainability agenda.

MISC has put in place focused initiatives and programs that support the following 11 UNSDGs.
MATERIAL MATTERS
Prioritising what matters most
We prioritise sustainability throughout our business and value chain as a global provider of energy-related maritime solutions. In 2019, we conducted a thorough evaluation to identify the most important environmental, social, and governance aspects for our business. This assessment followed international standards and included research on sustainability trends and industry benchmarks.
Engaging Our Stakeholders
We are committed to contributing towards elevating the maritime industry and making a positive impact on our stakeholders. This commitment is supported by our stakeholder engagement strategy, focusing on creating shared values through awareness, dialogue, and collaboration. At MISC, stakeholder engagement is integrated into every step of our value creation process.

STAYING RELEVANT
MISC Group’s materiality matrix
We regularly review and validate our material topics through our sustainability governance mechanism. Based on feedback and industry trends, we refined our topics, adding health and safety, employee engagement, and natural resource use. The COVID-19 pandemic highlighted the urgency of addressing these areas. We will continue monitoring our material topics to stay relevant.
Sustainability disclosures and performances
Maintaining strong governance is essential for sustainable business. Governance is more than a set of written principles and practices; it is embedded in our stakeholder value creation commitment. We have introduced clear and effective sustainability governance structures throughout MISC. Supported by several performance standards and other controls, our governance procedures are applied to all aspects of MISC’s decision-making process.
