Sustainability is a priority for our leadership team. The Board is responsible for the effective governance and oversight of ESG matters, as well as assessment and management of material environmental and social risks. Supported by our leadership team and board-level committees, the Board has overall responsibility for our corporate sustainability strategies, targets, as well as ESG and climate-related risks and opportunities.
The Sustainability Advisory Committee comprises Board directors, senior company executives and external sustainability experts, and provides recommendations to our Board on sustainability matters including ESG emerging trends (including those which are climate-related) and best practices, and serves as an additional channel for constructive feedback from the external community.
The Sustainability Committee is an internal cross-departmental body that oversees the implementation of our corporate sustainability strategies and initiatives led by Sustainability Task Groups and specific business units. The Committee reviews and endorses policies, practices, and targets for key sustainability issues to ensure accountability.
The Sustainability Function’s dedicated staff execute, facilitate, coordinate, and monitor corporate-wide sustainability initiatives working in conjunction with other business units on a day-to-day basis. It is also responsible for coordination of Link’s sustainability data collection and reporting, including progress on performance targets associated with sustainable finance transactions.
Sustainability Task Groups are designed to be inter-generational and inter-departmental, to execute designated sustainability activities on a project basis, such as that formed for our Net Zero carbon emissions initiative. They also identify and mitigate frontline sustainability challenges, while grooming future leaders to promote good practices across their business units.
The Staff Sustainability Network helps bring awareness, transparency and collaboration to existing sustainability efforts. The network serves as a platform for obtaining resources and information on sustainability issues and allows our staff to participate in activities and events that promote awareness of sustainability.
