We view digital technology as a driver of development and contribute to building inclusive digital ecosystems for all.
This begins with extending the reach and enhancing the quality of our networks in all areas where we are present. We champion various digital inclusion initiatives, connecting people in our footprint markets to the resources and tools they need to participate fully and holistically in the digital economy. We also remain focused on digitising and modernising our operations towards a future-ready approach to productivity.
In 2021, our businesses contributed USD11.1 billion to GDP across our operating markets and supported approximately 700,000 jobs. Meanwhile, our continuous drive to achieve cost excellence yielded RM2.0 billion in cost savings, including RM1.1 billion from Collective Brain initiatives.

Our material matters are determined through a bi-yearly process of materiality assessment, detailed below:
We review and update our material matters in response to changes in our business landscape, risk environment, internal policies, KPIs, emerging local and global sustainability trends, regulatory developments and stakeholder opinions. Our review also incorporates peer benchmarking.
We conducted a structured stakeholder prioritisation exercise by leveraging insights from our dialogue with various stakeholders on our material matters. This allows us to identify the influence and dependence of key stakeholders on the Group. We then engage with the prioritised stakeholders to obtain their feedback on material matters.
Upon identification of our material matters, we conducted workshops within the Group to further prioritise materiality matters from the business perspective.
