POLICIES, CERTIFICATIONS, AND FRAMEWORKS SUPPORTING COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT To guide and strengthen our community contributions, we have policies that emphasise creating socio-economic value while safeguarding environmental and social well-being. These policies align with our EoTF2025 vision and support our role in advancing the objectives of the 12MP. Together, these frameworks ensure our initiatives drive meaningful, sustainable development for the communities we serve. VALUE CREATION IN FY2024 SAVING ANIMALS, SERVING COMMUNITY UEM Edgenta participated in the Petz Charity Fun Run 2024 to raise funds for the Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals (SPCA) and other animal shelters. We also sponsored an additional RM40,000 for the SPCA’s Potong Royong Campaign to control the stray animal population through neutering. UEM Edgenta also renewed its support for wildlife and biodiversity, with ongoing contributions to Zoo Negara Malaysia, where we continued our sponsorship of two Aldabra Giant Tortoises and extended our care to a giraffe named Mas Kira. These efforts align with our environmental commitment, reinforcing our dedication to the preservation of wildlife. One of the key highlights of our animal welfare initiatives was the Surplus Animal Food Rescue Pilot Project, where we sponsored RM45,000 to rescue 12,724 kg of pet food, benefiting over 50 animal shelters and providing meals for nearly 171,000 cats and more than 8000 dogs. This initiative not only supported animal well-being but also contributed to environmental sustainability by preventing the release of 57,000 kg of CO2 emissions. COMMUNITY ENRICHMENT & WELL-BEING Through our “Jalinan Kasih Edgenta” programme, we are dedicated to sharing the joy of festive seasons with underserved communities across Malaysia. This initiative exemplifies our commitment to creating positive social value and fostering meaningful connections with those in need. In 2024, we extended our support to various communities through a series of engagements aligned with key festive periods: Social Value Creation UEM EDGENTA BERHAD 198 Integrated Annual Report 2024
