ESG Commitment
TPC Leadership Ltd (TPCL) is unwavering in its commitment to conducting business with a profound dedication to Environmental, Social, and Governance (ESG) principles. We recognise that our operations can have a lasting impact on the world, and, as such, we strive to ensure that every aspect of our business aligns with a triple-bottom-line approach. This ESG policy serves as the foundational framework through which we integrate sustainable practices into every facet of our business.
Being part of a global network, TPCL supports the initiatives of the United Nations’ Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) wherever applicable. Along with our global network partners, our efforts aim to contribute to the broader global agenda for positive social and environmental change.
Our commitment to ESG is a fundamental principle guiding our business practices, at home and abroad, from top to bottom. As driven by our Directors, it is the responsibility of each TPCL staff member to ensure that we adhere to the three core pillars of ESG.
