UEM EDGENTA BERHAD Integrated Annual Report 2025 28 CHAIRMAN’S STATEMENT SUSTAINABILITY AND LONG-TERM RESILIENCE In building the UEM Edgenta of the future, the Board recognises that the Group’s commitments and actions in sustainability will be key. During the year, we took meaningful strides on our sustainability journey by developing new solutions and enhancing operational processes. A key milestone was the commissioning of our asphalt premix plant with recycling facility, which repurposes waste generated from the road milling process into a more sustainable material for road paving. This innovation enables carbon emissions to be reduced by up to 15% compared with conventional asphalt production. We also reported reductions in Scope 1 and Scope 2 emissions during the year, supported by lower consumption of electricity, fuel and natural gas, alongside broader operational efficiency measures. Accelerating this journey, our Sustainability Roadmap 2.0, now in its second year of implementation, seeks to embed ESG-related considerations more deeply within our business. This will be complemented by the continued integration and strengthening of ESG-related KPIs across all corporate performance scorecards, reinforcing accountability on sustainability and driving consistent performance improvement across the organisation. The Board is also pleased to share that UEM Edgenta became a constituent of the Bursa Malaysia FTSE4Good Index in 2025, placing the Group amongst the country’s recognised leaders in sustainability disclosures. For more information on our sustainability approach, initiatives, and results, please refer to the standalone Sustainability Statement on page 108. Advancing sustainability and operational excellence will remain integral as we build long-term value for stakeholders.
