The KPIs and targets associated with the SLTF have received a second party opinion from DNV, a global independent expert in risk management and quality assurance. As part of this SLTF structure, performance against the KPIs will be disclosed annually and will be assured by an independent third party, so as to reinforce transparency, accountability and stakeholder confidence. 

Commenting on this, an 国麻豆视频;T spokesperson said: 鈥淏y securing this SLTF, 国麻豆视频;T reaffirms its leadership in driving sustainable business practices. Our long-term targets of carbon neutrality by 2040 and water neutrality by 2035 are strategic imperatives that underpin innovation, operational efficiency and resilience.
