To fulfil our corporate social responsibility and engage in stakeholder communications, Mega Securities has established transparent and open channels of engagement with our stakeholders. Stakeholder opinions are also incorporated into our corporate management approach and business activities to achieve the goal of sustainable management. Key stakeholders were defined by Mega Securities following the five principles of the AA1000 Stakeholder Engagement Standard (AA1000 SES): Responsibility, Influence, Tension, Diverse Perspectives, and Dependency. A stakeholder identification survey was then answered by 80 people including members of the Sustainable Development Committee, the heads of the five Committee’s five working groups, managers at subsidiaries, and colleagues involved with ESG affairs. The 80 responses were used to identify our 7 key stakeholders as customers, Employees & Unions, Government/Competent Authority and Industry Associations, Shareholders and Investors, Suppliers, Communities/Schools and Non-profit Organizations, and the Media. Mega Securities used a variety of communication channels such as our corporate website, questionnaire survey, press releases, and in-house/Group seminars as well as this Report to listen, understand, and respond to the needs of our stakeholders. Sustained communication and engaged was utilized to create mutual benefits and trust.
