At Cape EMS Berhad and its subsidiaries, we are proud to announce our unwavering commitment to sustainability and ethical practices through the principles of the Triple Bottom Line, emphasizing Planet, People and Profit. These core values guide our strategies, operations, and aspirations, ensuring that we create value not only for our shareholders but for society and the environment as well.

Our commitment to promoting and maintaining the Core Values of Governance, Integrity, Accountability, and Transparency (“GIAT”) is reflected in all our business activities, dealings, relationships, and operations. As a recognized and reputable Electronic Manufacturing Services (“EMS”) contract manufacturer, we have a responsibility to put sustainability at the heart of our business strategy through pioneering leadership roles, operations, and the EMS provided.

At Cape, we remain focused on our commitment to reach net zero emissions by 2040 and do our part to advance climate action, even as we evaluate the impact of energy-intensive end markets and the increased power consumption requirements across our footprint. One major growth area for Cape moving forward is in our circular economy solutions. As our customers focus on their climate commitments and become increasingly interested in how their products are repaired, refurbished, and recycled, we are excited to help them develop and implement tailored circular solutions to prolong a product’s life and shift from a take, make, and waste approach. In this coming year and beyond, we will continue our disciplined approach to building and sustaining momentum toward our sustainability targets while keeping a pulse on trends transforming the sustainability landscape, including new reporting standards, and seeking ways to embed transparency and accountability at all levels of the organization. For example, we linked Environmental, Social, and Corporate Governance (ESG) goals to executive compensation starting in our fiscal year 2023, demonstrating our leadership team’s commitment to sustainability. As always, I extend a heartfelt thank you to our Cape employees, suppliers, and partners for your ongoing dedication and appreciate your interest in our sustainability journey. Making progress to help improve the world requires deep collaboration and shared responsibility, and we could not do it without your continued support.
 

Regards,
Christina Tee
