What plans has Top Glove instituted to better navigate this challenging season for the glove industry?

This period has not taken us by surprise. Having been in the glove business for over 31 years, we have come to expect and
prepare for challenging times, which we know will typically follow good times. Hence, after 2 years of exceptional highs
in glove demand and ASPs, we have anticipated that the descent into normalisation will also be exceptional, as part of

that once the demand/supply mechanism rebalances, glove demand will resume its 10% growth per annum, in line with
actual consumption driven by rising usage and hygiene awareness, post pandemic. More significantly, the glove industry’s
fundamentals remain intact with no structural changes: gloves continue to be an essential item in the medical sector with no
viable replacement, and are also disposable which will underpin recurring demand. We also believe these trying times provide
good opportunities for the business, as we have in place the right talents, skills and experience to leverage them.

Stakeholder Engagement Stakeholder Engagement

STAKEHOLDER ENGAGEMENT
How Are Our Stakeholders Connected?
Our value creation model is very much designed based on multi stakeholder facets because we are aware that our business
strategies would not work if formulated and obtruded from top down. We continually engage with stakeholders via different
Shareholders/ Government/ Local NGOs Media Industry
channels, respond to their concerns and expectations in order to align their key priorities with our business strategy. The
Investors Regulators Communities Associations
outcome of the engagement enables us to identify upcoming market trends, anticipate challenges and align our sustainability
strategy and business activities with broader interests of the economy, society and environment.
