SECTION 06 pg. 114 AL-SALĀM REIT RESOURCE MANAGEMENT The REIT recognises the importance of responsible resource management. It is essential to reducing environmental impact and supporting the sustainable operation of the facilities. In particular, the responsible management of water and waste is critical in a retail environment, where resource consumption is driven by tenant activities, customer footfall, and the operation of common area services across the malls. Water Management Al-Salām REIT is committed to minimising its environmental impact through responsible water management. This includes implementing water-saving initiatives and promoting water conservation awareness across its properties. As urbanisation continues to accelerate, water-related challenges may become more prevalent in the future. The REIT therefore seeks to adopt proactive measures to mitigate risks and prevent potential water scarcity issues before they arise. Over the past three years, 100% of the water used by the REIT has been sourced from municipal supplies. Based on the World Resources Institute’s Aqueduct Water Risk Atlas, none of the REIT’s buildings are located in water-stressed regions. As of FY2025, Al-Salām REIT had no incidents of non-compliance with water quality or quantity standards. In the future, the REIT plans to implement water conservation measures, including the installation of smart water meters and sub-metering, as well as the retrofitting of waterefficient fittings such as low-flow taps and dual-flush systems. For the long term, the REIT plans to optimise water reuse and leak detection systems. These initiatives reflect the REIT’s commitment to water sustainability by reducing its water footprint and associated water stress in the regions in which it operates.
