Procurement Practices EXTENDING IMPACT SUSTAINABILITY REPORT 2020 In 2020, we further embedded sustainable practices into our operations. While we continued to operate in uncertain times, our resilience led us to strengthening our sustainability efforts. In EXTENDING IMPACT, we advocated wise stewardship of natural resources, fostered sustainable economic development, and promoted responsible business practices throughout Kumpulan Perangsang Selangor Berhad (“KPS“ or “the Company“ or “the Group“). Sustainable development is an ongoing corporate agenda. Everyone in KPS shares the responsibility to effectively integrate, manage, and balance the four dimensions of sustainable development: Economic, Environmental, Social, and Governance (“EESG”). Our sustainability action plans, goals and targets are focussed on the critical importance of the 5Ps: People, Planet, Prosperity, Peace, and Partnership: PEOPLE: strengthening and enhancing multi-stakeholder engagement efforts; PLANET: reducing the use of natural resources by improving energy efficiency and effective waste management practices; PROSPERITY: adding value to society by creating employment, rewarding shareholders and investors, infusing incremental and architectural ideation into our organisational DNA, and fulfilling tax obligations to foster national economic growth and development; PEACE: fostering composure to handle conflicts, to stand by the rule of law and adhere to human rights with zero tolerance of bribery, corruption and violence. These values support nation-building activities to foster harmony in life; and PARTNERSHIP: building and strengthening dynamic partnerships with organisations and associates that share similar values, visions, and sustainable development goals.

  • JSP Vol 08 No 03-04 1969Dec
    • •/ A ot if** M Number 3 & 4 December 1969 Volume 8 DUPLICATING WITHOUT MAKING CARBON COPIES - Hal Wasserman - One of the fascinating features about stamp collecting is that a collector may collect whatever interests him. No matter what the catalogue may include or not in­ clude there is no law that says what the collector must have in his album. It is his own possession to build and expand as he chooses. It is only when the collector wishes to exhibit for competition that certain maxims come into play; then the collector loses some of the freedom he had before. Yet exhibiting need not enjoin a collector from remaining individualistic in his approach, nor does his collection have to be a carbon copy of other similar exhibita This is especially noticeable when viewing exhibits of Olympic Games stamps. Excluding the early Greek Olympic stamps, a collector would not find it too difficult or too expensive to put together a 'complete* collection of the basic stamps. How, then, can an enthusiast put his individual touch on his own exhibit except through a different type of mounting? In my opinion, there are enough unusual items on the philatelic marketplace that a collector could add for nearly every Olympiad, some expensive but many rather nominal in price, that would add sparkle to an exhibit. All of the items mentioned below are listed in various books and guides, in­ cluding Ira Seeoacher's Handbook of Sports Stamps. However, I would like to point out some of these that seem to be overlooked in many of the exhibits.

Accordingly, the Gujarat State Unit – All Gujarat Sports Council of the Deaf, where the meeting was conducted, has accepted to host the XIX National Games of the Deaf of 2014 during September 2014. At the initial set up, we faced much hardship to organize it due to the activities of rebel organisations and also prevention of stadia, Government aid, etc by them but with the determination and devotion on the part of all concerned, the hosts, Karnataka Sports Federation of the Deaf and the Organising Committee formed under it was able to achieve our long pending aim. Our request to the Ministry of Youth Affairs & Sports to release funds for the above is still pending in the “deaf ears” but we hope they will open it and release funds.

In addition partnerships with National Sporting Organisations will see continual roll out of inclusion / awareness programs. 2. New Membership Structure – discussions are ongoing with a number of sports. A working party has been formed to go through a number of issues. 3.
