considerable resources to keep enhancing
our safety frameworks, recognising
that maintaining the highest standards
of safety is necessarily an ongoing
mission. We take a vigilant, proactive
and systematic approach to protect the
Group against a range of risks and strive
for continuous improvement in our safety
practices and performance.
Safety Management System (SMS)
Safety at AirAsia Malaysia is reinforced
by a robust Safety Management System
(SMS) which ensures systematic hazard
and risk management in line with the
requirements of the International Civil
Aviation Organization (ICAO) and the Civil
Aviation Authority of Malaysia (CAAM).
The SMS consists of four pillars: Safety
Policy and Objectives, Safety Risk
Management (SRM), Safety Assurance
(SA) and Safety Promotion.
Guided by the SMS, we promote a safety
culture within the organisation with
The Sustainability Committee, chaired by
Tan Sri (Dr) Tony Fernandes, will report
twice a year to the Board, while a Working
Committee comprising Group Heads of
Departments will ensure all our material
areas are taken into consideration in our
business plans and strategies. Through
this governance structure, sustainability
will be integrated more formally into
our operations and risk assessment
processes. Clear key performance
indicators (KPIs), targets and goals will be
set in 2018, and reported in the future.
Scope of Statement
This Sustainability Statement covers
the sustainability initiatives of AirAsia
Malaysia for the financial year 2017. The
AirAsia Group is based in Malaysia, and
AirAsia Malaysia remains the biggest
revenue contributor. We have put in
place the relevant mechanisms to collect
data in Malaysia and are in the process
of standardising the data collection in
our other country operations. Once the
relevant measurement and reporting
structures are in place in our other
associates, we will start reporting on their
sustainability performance too.
We currently base our statement on
the Global Reporting Index (GRI)-G4
guidelines, and are pleased to see that
a number of our initiatives contribute to
global sustainability concerns, such as
those outlined by the United Nations’
Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs).
As our initiatives mature, we hope to be
able to map our performance against the
SDGs that are relevant to our actions and
operations.
SAFETY & HEALTH
The safety of people who fly with us and
work with us is something we will not
compromise on. It is given top priority
at AirAsia Malaysia, and we invest
clear lines of individual and collective
responsibility and accountability.
Continuous training is provided to
ensure all Allstars understand our safety
processes and are able to carry out
their functions safely. To reinforce our
commitment to maintaining the highest
levels of safety, we encourage constant
conversations on safety behaviours. Our
objective is for every individual in AirAsia
Malaysia to contribute to the safety of
every aspect of our operations, on ground
and in the air.
Departmental level engagement
with internal safety champions was
significantly enhanced during the year
with an improved reporting system that
promotes vigilance among Allstars. These
reports are discussed at safety meetings,
which are held regularly and where
proactive, innovative resolutions are
formed.
