About this Report

This report includes the environmental, social and governance ("ESG") practices of our business operations in Singapore and Malaysia.

For the preparation of this report, no third parties assurances has been engaged.

In line with LAP's continued commitment to environmental sustainability, no hard copies of this document have been printed. This report and previous editions are available on the company's website at http://www.lionasiapac.com/index.php/investors.

As part of our ongoing journey to champion sustainability, this report aims to share the initiatives and progress we have made during the financial year. Our strategic operations, namely the production of quicklime, quicklime powder and hydrated lime, are located in West Malaysia. The group's Singapore operation manages the trading of steel consumables.

As the COVID-19 pandemic wears on, its impact is obviously felt in every region, every industry, and indeed every aspect of life. It ushered in the opportunity to rethink how we work. It's a sea change that occurs less than once in a generation and has the potential to reshape society in countless ways. The next normal is going to be different. LAP is responding to this transition in terms of business viability, people health and safety, supply chain, compliance with laws and regulations, digital transformation of the business practices, et cetera. We will continue to navigate the difficult times by engaging our staff, customers, suppliers, and other business partners, and deliver a sustainable result to our stakeholders.

With lime manufacturing as our core business, our plants are optimised with the most advanced technology to reduce wastage. During the year, we strive to keep our plant and equipment in optimal condition to deliver as best a quality of our products as we could. Our lime products have been a vital part of everyday life in the communities. Clean air, portable water and fertile soil are just to name a few examples of its applications, contributing to a greener place to live in.

Our operations are supported by our most valuable asset, our employees. Health and safety are the utmost priority. We have implemented safe distancing measures and work from home practices in our effort to keep the threat of COVID-19 at bay. We continue to review our practices with the view to aligning the welfare of our employees to our business's sustainability strategy.

Partnerships and good community relations are critical for our operations.

Following collaboration with all relevant stakeholders, LAP ensures that their representations are appropriately identified and that adequate information, including both benefits and negative impacts, are conveyed to the affected.

Our initiative considers respect for human rights in the workplace, ban on forced and child labour, elimination of discrimination, provision of fair wages and working hours, and respect for freedom of association, the provision of a healthy and safe working environment, ethical conduct, including efforts to eliminate corruption.

We strongly believe in responsible sourcing, where through collaboration with suppliers, we ensure that all limestone originates from legal and responsible sources.

Sustainability Committee

In achieving its sustainability goals, the Board sets up its own sustainability team which comprises key management personnel. While the Board is responsible for formulating corporate sustainability strategies, the sustainability team focuses on implementing sustainability strategies, identifying and addressing emerging sustainability issues.
