2024 UEM Edgenta Annual Report

climate disclosures and NETR implementation to regulatory bodies such as the Ministry of Natural Resources and Environmental Sustainability and the Securities Commission. Our own decarbonisation journey has accelerated with the launch of our ESG Roadmap 2.0 in FY2024, embedding energy efficiency, clean energy adoption, and circular economy practices into our operations and service offerings. With an interim target to reduce Scope 1 and Scope 2 emissions by 26% by 2030, we are also enhancing supply chain transparency to expand our Scope 3 emissions reporting, reinforcing our commitment to a low-carbon future. Looking ahead, transforming our Infrastructure Services will be a key strategic focus, moving beyond traditional contract-based models to scalable, sustainability-driven solutions. This includes commercialising circular economy solutions such as Recycled Asphalt Pavement (RAP), where recycled road milling waste is repurposed into eco-friendly pavement materials. As we continue integrating advanced technology across our businesses, we are actively identifying opportunities to enhance our engineering and consultancy capabilities. Building on our foundation in Project Management Consultancy (PMC) and design services, we are moving up in the Engineering, Procurement, Construction, and Commissioning (EPCC) value chain to play a more strategic role in project delivery. By embedding AI-driven design optimisation tools into engineering workflows, we are enhancing compliance, risk management, and lifecycle planning for complex infrastructure projects, positioning ourselves beyond conventional asset management services. Internally, our talent development frameworks are evolving to meet the demands of a globally mobile, digital-first workforce. By balancing deep industry expertise with fresh perspectives, we are equipping our teams with the skills to operate effectively across complex markets and emerging service lines. In parallel, we are advancing our internal AI innovation agenda to accelerate our transition from process-centric to value-driven operations.
