Scope 3 Workshop with Suppliers As part of our efforts to promote sustainability across the supply chain, UEM Edgenta conducted a pilot exercise in 2024 with more than 20 key suppliers to assess their ESG practices, understanding of GHG emissions reporting and availability of Scope 3 emissions data. The exercise provided insights into the current maturity of our supply chain, serving as a foundation for future initiatives to enhance ESG performance and address Scope 3 emissions. The suppliers were also given training on key ESG areas such as GHG accounting to enhance their understanding of carbon footprint and the effects of their business on the environment. GPCM Recycling Initiative Beyond supplier training, we took meaningful steps to embed sustainability into our procurement processes. The Group Procurement and Contract Management (GPCM) Department, in collaboration with the Healthcare Support Services Division, launched a condemn linen recycling initiative at several hospitals to promote textile waste reduction. Additionally, we strengthened green procurement by working with business units to implement bulk purchase agreements, optimising logistics and reducing transportation costs from suppliers to site facilities. E-Procurement Portal To enhance transparency and accountability, we introduced an E-Procurement Portal in UEMS Singapore, which includes supplier ESG monitoring. This digital platform enables more efficient tracking of suppliers’ sustainability performance, ensuring that ESG considerations remain integral to procurement decisions. Through these initiatives, we continue to create long-term value by embedding ESG principles across our supply chain. 141 ENHANCING VALUE THROUGH SUSTAINABILITY
