Communication with Key Stakeholders
Because each of Tong Ming's departments serves a different line of business, each class of key stakeholders is concerned with different issues. Tong Ming interacts with its key stakeholders continuously through multiple channels, so that they can keep abreast of the Company's operations while the Company learns of, and responds promptly to, their requirements and expectations. Each department therefore collects the concerns that key stakeholders raise in the course of business dealings and consolidates them in a first pass; then, with reference to the 2021 edition of the GRI Sustainability Reporting Standards and to peers' sustainability reports, distills them into 9 sustainability (material) topics covering the economic, environmental and social (people) dimensions, ensuring that the sustainability topics satisfy the completeness and inclusiveness required by the GRI Standards.
The status of communications with stakeholders during 2024 was reported to the Board of Directors on August 21, 2025. Communications with each class of stakeholders in the most recent year, and the contents of that report, are set out below:
