2024 UEM Edgenta Annual Report

WHAT IS OUR OUTLOOK? UEM Edgenta is focused on enhancing its procurement practices to support a more sustainable and responsible supply chain. Based on the supplier survey conducted in 2024 to assess ESG readiness among our suppliers, we will be focusing on conducting additional training and awareness sessions to strengthen their understanding of ESG standards and our plans to introduce sustainability practices in our value chain including future ESG screening approaches. The survey results will also be used to conduct comprehensive ESG Risk Profiling and Assessments, allowing us to categorise suppliers into different groups. We will prioritise suppliers who already have strong environmental and social policies in place, while also work to build capacity among those who lack such practices. We will closely monitor supplier performance and develop tailored action plans to ensure that all suppliers align with our ESG practices and policies. In the medium term (2026–2027), UEM Edgenta intends to introduce a Supplier Code of Conduct and establish formal screening processes, integrating environmental and human rights considerations into vendor evaluations. Over the long term, the company will work towards enhancing visibility on supplier emissions, including Scope 3 data, to strengthen environmental oversight within its supply chain. These efforts reflect UEM Edgenta’s steady progress in embedding sustainability into its procurement practices, ensuring alignment with evolving stakeholder expectations and industry standards. 143 ENHANCING VALUE THROUGH SUSTAINABILITY
