MANAGEMENT DISCUSSION & ANALYSIS
This is the second year we have produced
a Sustainability Report guided by
international best practice, and we urge
you to read it (see pages 156 to 179) for
a better understanding of the ways in
which we seek to create value for our
stakeholders. We had stated last year
that we would be enhancing the scope
of our reporting as we put in place more
systems and measurements, and are
pleased this has been the case. In terms of
carbon emissions reporting, for example,
we are now disclosing our emissions from
electricity usage, in addition to emissions
from fuel use (for our aircraft and ground
vehicles). We are also pleased to note
that, as a result of various energy-efficient
initiatives, our total emissions intensity has
continued to decrease.
On the more human side of sustainability,
the one initiative that has been close to
our hearts is our support of the National
Cancer Council Malaysia (MAKNA). We
have been championing their cause
since 2015 and, in 2017, we contributed a
total of RM300,000 to the organisation,
benefitting 291 patients. We also involved
more of our Group associates in MAKNA
programmes. Four Allstars from across
the Group participated in MAKNA’s Klimb
Kinabalu 2017 expedition. And, in early
2018, we ran an #AirAsiaMAKNA: Rebel
with a Cause campaign featuring gutsy
survivors from across the Group, to inspire
other cancer patients. They included
AirAsia Philippines’ Chairperson, a cabin
crew from India and a ramp bus driver from
Thailand, among others.
TALENTMANAGEMENT
Whenever people ask us what makes
AirAsia special or what lies behind our
success, our answer is unequivocal: our
people. AirAsia has been built by the
contributions of all our Allstars. We have
