UEM EDGENTA BERHAD Integrated Annual Report 2025 194 SOCIAL VALUE CREATION Community Development: Priority Areas Align with our sustainability pillars to drive focus and maximise outcomes Education Community Enrichment & Well-being Environmental Stewardship Sustainable Economic Growth Community Enrichment & Well-being Environmental Stewardship This alignment ensures that community initiatives are not standalone activities but are designed to reinforce the Group’s broader sustainability agenda. Guided by this framework, UEM Edgenta identifies priority needs and assesses gaps in access to essential services and facilities within surrounding communities. Based on these assessments, targeted support is provided through resources and technical expertise, service delivery and operational support, as well as financial assistance for community facilities and programmes. This structured and needs-based approach ensures that contributions remain relevant, practical and aligned with local development priorities while supporting long-term socio-economic progress. Delivering Local Impact Through Operations Across Malaysia, we continue to deliver local impact through practical, culturally meaningful and community‑responsive activities embedded within our operations. Beyond structured CSR programmes, our teams contribute directly to communities through initiatives such as volunteering or gotong royong ativities, repainting and refurbishing classrooms, planting trees, and supporting festive occasions including Iftar sponsorship and Chinese New Year celebrations. We also channel assistance through zakat wakalah to uplift underserved groups in line with local needs. Community value is also delivered through responsible facilities and property management and service provision. Businesses such as Kaizen and EdgentaUEMS Taiwan contribute through the maintenance of safe, reliable and accessible facilities for public and tenant use. In selected markets, community outcomes are further supported through structured skills development, environmental management and workforce well-being initiatives, including OME’s ISO 14001-certified environmental practices and UEMS Singapore’s focus on talent development and employability. Collectively, these practices ensure that community engagement remains relevant, practical and aligned with local development priorities, reinforcing that community impact is embedded within the Group’s operations rather than limited to standalone initiatives. VALUE CREATED Guided by our priority areas of community contribution—Education, Community Enrichment & Well-being, and Environmental Stewardship—we adopt a structured approach to community engagement by supporting initiatives and encouraging volunteering that address local needs, advance environmental protection, strengthen community resilience, and contribute to sustainable local development in alignment with our sustainability themes. Below are selected initiatives implemented across our regional offices.
