Corporate governance and transparency are material issues for Vitasoy. We regularly review our systems and guidelines across our operations to ensure we maintain a high level of transparency and accountability.

Risk management

The nature of our business and the environment in which we operate expose us to potential risks, which occur in many ways and can impact our stakeholders, reputation, finances, operations and the sustainability of our Group. Such business risks cover all aspects of the Group’s operations, including but not limited to ESG issues. To prepare for and mitigate the negative impacts of specific business risks, such as climate change, fair labour practices and responsible raw material sourcing, we monitor them closely through our risk management framework.

Business Ethics is one of the top material issues identified by our stakeholders. Vitasoy maintains our high standards of business ethics and corporate governance through the Business Ethics Policy and the Code of Business Conduct for Suppliers and Customers.

Governance structure

Vitasoy is firmly committed to compliance of statutory and regulatory corporate governance standards and adherence to the principles of corporate governance emphasising transparency, independence, accountability, responsibility and fairness. The Board of Directors or its delegated Board Committee will review the corporate governance practices from time to time to ensure their alignment with the Company’s corporate culture as well as interests and expectations from our shareholders, the investing public and the other stakeholders.

At Vitasoy, we believe that our sustainability governance structure strengthens our accountability and, by extension, the overall performance of Vitasoy as a responsible company.

The Board holds the overall accountability for the company’s ESG strategies and performance. To drive our ESG agenda with dedicated Board-level oversight, we have set up a Board-level ESG Committee in 2020. Our Group Executive Sustainability Committee became operational in July 2018, reports to the ESG Committee, recommending goals, strategies and initiatives, overseeing their communication and implementation across the Company, and integrating sustainability into day-to-day operations.

To drive accountability, Vitasoy has incorporated sustainability performance as part of the performance criteria for the leadership team and middle management since FY2017/18.
