In 2022, we deepened our sustainability commitment by adopting the TCFD's recommendations. The Board and Management roles and responsibilities were expanded to include active management of climate-related impacts and opportunities on our asset portfolios. We incorporated sustainability as a critical principle to our risk assessment framework. The Board and ARC are supported by the MRSC and a Sustainability Working Committee comprising diverse cross-functional teams which meet regularly and drive continuous efforts for sustainability performance across the Group. [...] Our robust governance structure drives, monitors, and executes our Sustainability Strategy across the Group. In 2022, we refreshed the roles and responsibilities of the Board and Management to oversee climate-related factors and performances, aligned with TCFD's recommendations (see Figure 2). A Sustainability Working Committee was also established to drive the Group's sustainability efforts.
