is in an advanced stage of finalising a ‘CG Values’ document, which<br />
enshrines the five CG Values of Performance Excellence, Leading Edge<br />
Knowledge, Nurturance, Customer Orientation and Intellectual Honesty.<br />
Every CG employee is expected to practice with sincerity and consistency, the<br />
principles contained in these two documents, as his/her contribution towards<br />
