Aiming to be a responsible corporate citizen.
We achieved significant progress in our primary Environmental, Social, and Governance ("ESG") domains, fortifying our dedication to sustainability and effectively implementing our sustainability initiatives. Transparency is still ingrained in our reporting and strategy. We hope that this reporting will help to improve confidence among our stakeholders, which include our employees, customers, suppliers, partners, shareholders, peers, and communities.
I am glad to present our goals and our accomplishments in the report. While Century Bond Bhd (CBB) is constantly reminded of and challenged about what "sustainability" means to us, we must first examine our own operations in order to make the necessary internal changes before we can work towards a sustainable future and maintain the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals ("UNSDGs"). By streamlining the process of producing this Report, we were able to take a step closer to adopting optimal sustainability practices this time around. We optimise the narratives while preserving authenticity and comprehensiveness, which allowed us to condense the Report's page count.
KPI PERFORMANCE INDICATORS FOR MOST MATERIAL MATTERS

A comprehensive strategy encompassing technology, policy, and individual action is needed to combat climate change. To reduce carbon emissions, governments need to invest in renewable energy sources, set aggressive emissions reduction objectives, and pass legislation. To create green technology, businesses need to innovate and implement sustainable practices. By adopting new habits like taking public transit, using less energy, and purchasing eco-friendly goods and services, individuals may help reduce their carbon footprint and make a positive impact on the environment. In order to reduce the effects of climate change and provide a sustainable future for future generations, cooperation between governments, businesses, and individuals is essential.
In order to combat climate change, a multifaceted strategy involving technology, policy, and individual action is needed. To reduce carbon emissions, governments need to invest in renewable energy, set aggressive emissions reduction objectives, and pass legislation. In order to create green technologies, businesses need to innovate and implement sustainable practices. People can help by changing their lifestyles to reduce their carbon footprint, which includes taking public transit, using less energy, and patronising green goods and services. Governments, businesses, and individuals must work together to reduce the effects of climate change and build a sustainable future for future generations.
In other nations where our value chains are located, such as Malaysia, Europe, China, Indonesia, and Vietnam, unusual storm patterns, intense rain, flash floods, and landslides, were additional physical risk manifestations. Research indicates that as the years and decades go by, the effects of climate change will get more severe. Examining these fundamental issues about how we have been and will continue to run our manufacturing operations to chart our business growth, how we depend on the environment, and how we can collaborate with businesses, governments, and non-profit organisations ("NGOs") to accomplish more than we could alone, for the greater benefit of all parties involved, was therefore only necessary and timely.
In the annals of our company's history, a significant chapter has been marked not only by a rebranding and the evolution of our visual identity but also by a pivotal shift towards sustainability.
This milestone signifies our commitment to addressing pressing environmental concerns, particularly our greenhouse gas emissions.
By monitoring and managing our emissions, we aim to contribute to the global effort to mitigate climate change and limit global warming to 1.5°C above pre-industrial levels.
Through our inaugural disclosure on Scope 1 and Scope 2 emissions, we've taken a crucial step towards understanding and reducing our carbon footprint.
This journey marks a fundamental shift in our operations, as we strive to embrace sustainability as a core principle guiding our business decisions and initiatives.
As in the past, the Report conveys our support for the UNSDGs by embedding and integrating the related targets into our business strategies and sustainability initiatives. We commit ourselves to considering environmental and social aspects in addition to financial aspects when making our business decisions, recognising their value in ensuring a sustainable, resilient, and inclusive future.

This campaign adopts a ‘three-pronged’ approach uniting NGOs, the corporate sector, and local communities to raise awareness about corruption and instill a culture of integrity among Malaysians. Century Bond Bhd, a proud subsidiary of KPS Berhad based in Senai, Johor, is fully committed to supporting this important initiative.
On 1 July 2025, the Anti-Corruption Roadshow reached SMK Bandar Putera 2 in Kulai, Johor, where over 600 students participated in a session led by #RasuahBusters and Century Bond Bhd. The event aimed to empower youth with the knowledge and values needed to stand firmly against corruption.

The strong participation and meaningful discussions reflect a shared commitment to shaping future leaders who are ethically grounded and resilient against corruption. Tackling corruption is not a solo effort as it demands strategic partnerships, open dialogue, and consistent engagement from all sectors of society.
