Driving responsible consumption
As Asian economies grow more prosperous, the strain on natural resources may become more significant. Sustainable business models are crucial to safeguard the economic and ecological benefits linked to nature-positive development.
Jardines aims to accelerate the development of circularity and resource-efficiency by investing in innovative technologies and supporting the protection of natural resources.
Jardines aims to grow sustainably together with our businesses, and contribute to the economic prosperity of the region in a resource efficient manner. This includes initiatives to conserve resources, reduce and eliminate waste as much as possible to transition towards more circular economy.
The Group's companies work together via the Responsible Consumption Working Group ('RCWG') to explore circular opportunities that help reduce waste sent to landfill.
Safeguarding ecosystems across our operations is paramount to the long-term sustainability of our businesses. We are committed to protecting biodiversity, understanding our impact on the environment, prioritising resources to safeguard nature, and to operating responsibly.
We are in the early stages of defining our nature-based ambitions as a Group, our commitment to biodiversity conservation is evident through ongoing efforts to protect nature through sustainable operations and procurement across our businesses.
We recognise the impact of some of our more environmentally-sensitive businesses. As a responsible shareholder, we work closely with our businesses to ensure they embrace sustainable best practices and operate responsibly.
