Our Approach on Sustainability 

Sustainability has always been an important factor which we incorporate into our business at Ygl. While aiming for top financial performance and growth, we believe that it should be done in line with the highest standards of corporate and social responsibility (“CSR”).

Corporate Social Responsibility

At Ygl, we are learning as a team towards our value of contributing to the community and empowering people through embracing education including information technology. We are committed to integrate corporate responsibility programmes into our business by encouraging our staff to participate in our CSR activities to get in touch with their own values as well as reach out to others.

We based our CSR programmes on the cornerstone of

  • Workplace,
  • Marketplace, and
  • Community Development

but we still need guidance in Environment preservation.

GOVERNANCE AND ETHICS

Our aim is to drive awareness on our zero tolerance on corruption, in any form. Organisational effectiveness is central to long-term business competitiveness. Our Shared Values of Loyalty, Integrity, Professionalism and Cohesiveness is the cornerstone to how we do business.

These, alongside the Code of Conduct and Business Ethics (CoBE​), the Ygl Corporate Sustainability Framework as well as relevant commitments, are central in delivering optimum shareholder value.
