KUALA LUMPUR, Nov 29 (Bernama) -- Johor Plantations Group (JPG) is pleased to announce that it has been awarded the Platinum accolade under the Excellence Award in the Non-Listed Category at the National Annual Corporate Report Awards (NACRA) 2024. This recognition, awarded for its inaugural Integrated Report 2023, underscores the company’s commitment to corporate transparency, exemplary governance and forward-thinking sustainability practices.  

The NACRA award is a hallmark of excellence in corporate reporting, honouring organisations that demonstrate outstanding practices in integrity and accountability. In the Non-Listed Category, JPG shared the spotlight with notable industry leaders including Petroliam Nasional Berhad (Petronas), the Gold Award recipient, and Credit Guarantee Corporation Malaysia Berhad, which received the Silver Award.

"We appreciate the recognition from NACRA for our 2023 corporate report. This award reflects our continued focus to provide clear, accurate and transparent reporting as well as our commitment towards upholding the highest standards of corporate governance as we transition into a next-generation palm oil company. With this recognition, we are inspired to continue raising industry benchmarks across our business,” said Mohd Faris Adli Shukery, Managing Director of Johor Plantations Group Berhad.

JPG’s Integrated Report 2023 highlights the Group’s efforts to improve its corporate reporting practices to ensure that its stakeholders receive a comprehensive understanding of its performance, strategies, and commitment to sustainability. The NACRA Platinum Award comes at a pivotal moment for JPG, following its listing on Bursa Malaysia on 9 July 2024. As the Group navigates its new role as a publicly listed entity, the recognition highlights its readiness to meet the heightened expectations of stakeholders, regulators and the broader investment community.

The company is committed to continue creating value for its stakeholders while further strengthening its corporate governance and sustainability practices, solidifying its position as a trusted leader in the industry.
