5 ENHANCING VALUE THROUGH SUSTAINABILITY 161 Supply Chain Environmental Initiatives At the corporate level, we are developing an environmental screening methodology to support systematic supplier assessment across the Group. In parallel, our international offices have already implemented various environmental due diligence practices. UEMS Singapore reviews suppliers for ISO 14001 alignment and regulatory compliance, OME screens all vendors during onboarding, and Kaizen applies defined environmental criteria to most new suppliers while conducting deeper assessments on selected suppliers covering energy, waste, emissions, water use and compliance. The assessments provided insights into potential environmental risks across the supply base and highlighted opportunities for improvement. Going forward, we aim to engage suppliers through capacity building, corrective actions and the promotion of environmentally preferable products to strengthen overall environmental performance. OVERALL PERFORMANCE Waste Generated from Operations (metric tonnes) 2022 2023 2024 2025 Waste generated 567.45 1,498.97 2,019.63 1,164.90 Hazardous waste generated 512.41 724.54 595.28 935.25 Waste diverted from disposal 10.60 604.93 1,058.50 6.01 Waste directed to disposal 556.85 894.04 961.14 1,158.88 Disclosure of three years of waste recycled 0.05 0.63 0.64 0.64 Waste Managed for Clients (metric tonnes) (Healthcare Services, Infrastructure Services and Property Facilities Solutions clients) 2022 2023 2024 2025 Waste Managed for Edgenta’s Clients 16,435.95 67,114.11 6,602.28 45,006.88 Waste Directed to Disposal 15,652.64 20,398.30 5,426.32 37,969.22 Hazardous Waste 12,921.31 5,508.83 5,376.92 5,610.60 Non-Hazardous Waste 2,730.93 15,010.75 49.4 86.90 Waste Diverted from Disposal 4,582.45 46,715.22 1,175.96 1,138.30 The significant increase in reported waste in 2025 is primarily attributable to expanded data coverage, with waste information collected from more operational locations compared to 2024. The decrease in non-hazardous waste in 2024 and 2025 is due to a refinement of the reporting boundary and does not indicate a reduction in operational activities. OUTLOOK Through continued focus on waste reduction, resource efficiency, responsible sourcing and circular practices, UEM Edgenta aims to strengthen environmental management outcomes and support long-term operational sustainability. Future efforts will prioritise deeper integration of environmental considerations into business planning and daily operations, supported by improved data quality, stronger monitoring processes and clearer performance indicators. The Group will enhance waste segregation, recycling and waste-to-value initiatives while expanding circular material use, and will strengthen supply chain sustainability through the Supply Chain Engagement Plan and a formalised screening methodology to assess supplier environmental performance consistently. In parallel, UEM Edgenta will advance digitalisation and process optimisation to reduce material use, strengthen compliance and improve resource efficiency, while refining environmental risk assessments to better prepare for climate- and water-related impacts and support more resilient operations.
