Dear Stakeholders,

LY Corporation Limited (the "Company") and its subsidiaries (collectively, the "Group") is pleased to present its sustainability report (this "Report") for the financial year ended 31 December 2020 ("FY2020").

The outbreak of the COVID-19 pandemic has significantly disrupted the global supply chain and businesses worldwide are striving to overcome these challenging times. Nonetheless, the Group remain committed to sail through this crisis and conduct our business in an economically sustainable manner.

Our Board of Directors (the "Board") is dedicated to the Group's sustainability efforts and is responsible for determining and overseeing the Group's material sustainability topics. The Board has considered the sustainability topics as part of its strategy formulation.

Under the guidance of the Board, our Sustainability Steering Committee (which comprises the head of departments of the various departments of the Group) plays an essential role in ensuring the successful implementation of our sustainability initiatives. With the aim of fostering greater transparency and accountability, this report presents our initiatives, progress and targets towards achieving sustainable growth.

In view of the COVID-19 pandemic, we place the protection of the health and safety of our employees as top priority. In order to safeguard the wellbeing of our employees, we have implemented safety measures such as the mandatory wearing of face masks, safe distancing and regular sanitisation at our workplaces and health screening for our employees.

We have also put in place appropriate measures to enhance our operational resilience and maintain our ability to generate returns for our stakeholders amidst the economic uncertainties and operational challenges brought about by the COVID-19 pandemic.

We continue to stay committed to conducting business in a sustainable manner by engaging in environmentally friendly initiatives such as sourcing of sustainable raw materials and recycling of waste materials generated in the course of production. We also embarked on our journey on adopting renewable energy sources to reduce our carbon footprint.

We also recognise that the success of our sustainability journey requires a concerted and continuous effort from all our valued stakeholders. Hence, we would like to take this opportunity to express our utmost gratitude towards the Board, the management of the Group (the "Management") and all our staff for their contribution and unwavering commitment to achieve our sustainability goals.
