DSD firmly believes that sound corporate governance is not only the bedrock of sustainable development, but also the foundation for achieving our vision, mission and values. Since our establishment, DSD has endeavoured to establish and maintain good corporate governance, with public interest at our heart. We adhere to the principle of good governance through the establishment of a number of highly efficient committees and management systems led by our senior management. They are entrusted with the tasks of formulating sustainability management principles, monitoring policy implementation and improving governance and development strategies timely. On the other hand, we are keen to listen to the views of both internal and external stakeholders to enable us to define our operational targets and expectations, which will in turn help us develop more effective strategies for our services and work, as well as to continue in raising stakeholders’ level of confidence and trust in our governance.

DSD actively adopts suitable international standards and management systems, thereby introducing new elements to our management approach and better manage risks to improve our sustainability performance steadily. Given the growing importance of engaging stakeholders in planning and executing organisational sustainability strategies, we have actively strengthened our interactions with stakeholders in recent years, listening and responding to their feedback on our development, in order to respond to the requirements of relevant international guidelines.
