OUR ESG PERFORMANCE DATA

We actively participate in various national and global industry associations and voluntary initiatives to advance social, environmental and governance best conduct in our business activities.

We are recognised by independent ESG rating and

We adhere to the principle of combined assurance

This year, Distell's internal audit team mapped out the controls that support our environmental, social and governance (ESG) reporting and formally integrated ESG into the Group's combined assurance programme.

Our combined assurance programme aims to help board and management identify assurance gaps as well as opportunities to reduce duplication of efforts. The programme further provides the board with a framework for delegating risk responsibility and for obtaining and aggregating assurance from across the various governance and assurance groups. Furthermore, the combined assurance programme seeks to achieve the following specific objectives:

  • Enable an effective control environment
  • Support the integrity of information used for internal decision-making by management, the governing body and its committees
  • Support the integrity of the Distell's external reports

This year, work performed included facilitating risk and controls workshops with Distell's ESG process and control owners, identifying the relevant risks and controls, mapping assurance activities performed across the different assurance providers, and assessing for any gaps with controls and assurance coverage for our ESG reporting.

As an outcome of the work performed, neither management nor internal audit identified any material ESG control weaknesses or deficiencies. In the year ahead, internal audit will review the supporting internal control processes and activities of our combined assurance programme.
