From the desk of
Maj. Manjit Rajain, Global Chairman Dear Tenonites, I would like to welcome you to the first issue of Tenon Group’s Quarterly Newsletter “The Tenon Pulse”. As the name suggests, the newsletter will serve as a window through which the complete profile of Group companies’ achievements, employee engagement, and welfare initiatives, and the progress we made during the quarter can be viewed. During our Annual Strategy Meet 2022 earlier this year, I talked about the importance of sustainability in the industry we operate in and the customers we work with. While every year we add more customised services and improved service delivery, it is the trust that our customers held with us that has helped us to grow over the years. Today, sustainable considerations are a top priority for customers and therefore, sustainability should also be top on our agenda. I am proud to emphasise the fact that Tenon Group of Companies operates as an ethically, environmentally, and socially responsible organisation in the industry which is well-reflected in our recent win of the “Best Governance Award” at the Indian Family Business Awards organised by Money Control Pro. Tenon FM India has been certified by ECOVADIS on parameters of Environmental Sustainability, Sustainable Procurement, Labour and Human Rights, Ethics, amongst others. Tenon FM UK is also working closely with Ethical Nation on its sustainability and carbon management programmes. We should keep the spirit alive and implement more targeted measures to strategically entwine sustainability within our organisation and reduce the overall footprint on the environment. It is important to realise that sustainability is beyond making a “green product” or offering “green services”. Thus, we will transition into the next phase of our sustainability journey by transforming the way we do business. The sustainability mission at Tenon Group goes above and beyond environmentalism as social equity and economic development are also key aspects of our agenda. We are working on the Group’s Environmental, Social, and Governance (ESG) strategy with a focus on GHG reduction programs & strategies and bringing in practices/policies aimed at benefitting the company's employees, customers, and the wider community. The aim is also to strengthen Tenon Group’s economic or governance pillar by maintaining honest and transparent accounting practices and regulatory compliance. Bringing people along on the journey will also determine the success of our sustainability goals and therefore, “a grassroots-up approach” is necessary. I am confident of our success in sustainability with the constant support of each one of you. The past three months have been instrumental for Tenonites across India, UK & Singapore in terms of business growth, employee engagement, and organisational innovation. It was heartening to note the fervour and enthusiasm with which all Tenonites celebrated occasions such as World FM Day, Earth
