Annual Report 2019

ANNUAL REPORT 2019 77 ENVIRONMENTAL, SOCIAL AND GOVERNANCE REPORT Management Development Programme (“MDP”) MDP, co-developed by Dorsett and Hong Kong Vocational Training Council, helps middle management master essential management skills required in their roles. The programme was held in Hong Kong and Malaysia in 2015 and 2017 respectively. In December 2018, we refined and launched our programme in Mainland China, and provided over 100 supervisors and managers with multi-day learning experience to enhance their skills. Talent Review Process is launched in FY2019 to further identify high potentials and accelerate the growth of key talent. The assessment approach, deployed across regions, links dimensions of potential such as engagement, ability and career aspiration to facilitate succession planning by evaluating an associate’s potential to succeed in a more complex role. This enhances development planning by providing managers with in-depth insight when preparing personal development plan for associates. Labour Standards As stated in our Code of Business Conduct, we uphold our responsibility on ethical behaviour and prohibit any forms of child labour or forced labour. To further provide practical guidelines to eliminate child or forced labour practices, we are in the process of preparing the Prevention of Child and Forced Labour Policy, which will be shared with our different business units and regions, as well as suppliers and contractors. We strictly adhere to the minimum age provisions under applicable laws and regulations. Our Human Resources Department checks the identity documents of candidates before employment to prevent child labour. To prevent bonded/forced labour, corporal punishment or coercion of any type related to work are prohibited. The Group abides by the relevant laws and regulations in relation to labour standards, including but not limited to the Employment Ordinance of Hong Kong, as well as laws and regulations applicable to operations in other regions. During FY2019, there was no case of material non-compliance in relation to preventing child and forced labour.
