Healthcare Solutions Services Division Our Healthcare Solutions Services Division also made significant strides in sustainability. At Hospital Tunku Azizah in Kuala Lumpur, we successfully recycled hazardous waste, ensuring that materials were disposed of responsibly and in compliance with environmental regulations. Additionally, we collaborated with the Department of Environment (DOE) Wilayah Persekutuan Kuala Lumpur (WPKL) to mark Earth Day 2024, engaging in various environmental initiatives. As part of our ongoing environmental commitment, we conducted a Voluntary Monitoring of Environmental Mainstreaming Tools at site locations to assess and improve sustainability practices. We also celebrated Healthcare Earth Day 2024, reinforcing our dedication to promoting green practices within the healthcare sector. HSSE Initiatives Our HSSE efforts included the continuation of forest preservation activities at Ayer Hitam, Puchong, where we partnered with UPM and the Puchong Community to plant 100 trees of critical species. This initiative aims to preserve local biodiversity while actively contributing to the conservation of natural resources. WHAT IS OUR OUTLOOK? While we achieved notable successes in 2024, our journey was not without its challenges. Looking ahead, we are committed to strengthening and scaling our environmental efforts across all business units and our supply chain. In the near term, we will accelerate the transition to electric vehicles (EVs) within our fleet and enhance the commercialisation of our Asphalt Plant, expanding its capacity to drive circular practices in road maintenance. Supporting this transition, we plan to invest in EV charging infrastructure at strategic operational sites to facilitate the broader adoption of low-carbon transport solutions. Over the medium term, we are prioritising the development of our Scope 3 emissions reduction roadmap, recognising that supply chain emissions constitute a significant portion of our environmental impact. This will involve comprehensive supplier engagement to gather accurate emissions data, promote sustainable procurement practices, and encourage suppliers to align their environmental performance with UEM Edgenta’s climate objectives. Concurrently, we will refine our water and waste management strategies, with a particular focus on reducing water consumption across operational sites and improving waste tracking mechanisms to reduce emissions from disposal processes. Our long-term vision is to embed circular economy principles and global best practices in environmental stewardship into our operations. We will explore the deployment of advanced waste reduction technologies and energy-efficient solutions, ensuring our infrastructure and asset management services remain at the forefront of sustainability. Strengthening collaborations with both local and international partners will remain central to our approach, as we work collectively to drive sector-wide progress towards a low-carbon, resourceefficient future. 163 ENHANCING VALUE THROUGH SUSTAINABILITY
