UEM EDGENTA BERHAD Integrated Annual Report 2025 54 Our Response • Reducing water and material use across our business, both in our operations and in services delivered to clients. • Maintaining active involvement in circular waste management practices as part of our value creation process. CLIMATE CHANGE AND ENERGY Description Taking coordinated action by reducing our direct and indirect greenhouse gas (“GHG”) emissions and lowering energy consumption across our operations. M5 Why It Is Important Climate change, exacerbated by GHG emissions, poses a long-term risk to our operations through environmental degradation and adverse weather events. Tracking GHG emissions and energy consumption supports sustainability compliance and promotes more efficient energy use across the organisation. Refer to Climate Change on pages 143 to 153. Risks • Financial and reputational damage arising from non-compliance with environmental laws. • Long-term operational disruption arising from climate change. Opportunities • Future-proofing our operations by improving climate resilience. • Setting a strong corporate example while capturing climate mitigation business opportunities. Our Response • Maintaining our trajectory towards UEM Edgenta’s Net Zero Targets to achieve net-zero GHG emissions by 2050, aligned with the International Energy Agency’s (“IEA”) Net Zero Emissions by 2050 Global Pathway. • Monitoring and reporting our annual emissions data and net zero performance. • Supporting our clients’ sustainability journeys through energy efficiency and decarbonisation solutions. UN SDGs Capitals Stakeholders S1 S3 S5 S7 S2 S4 S6 ENVIRONMENTAL MANAGEMENT Description Responsibly caring for the environment by practicing good waste management, material use and water consumption. M6 Why It Is Important Our operations consume water and materials and generate waste. Stakeholder expectations for environmental stewardship and ecosystem protection are also increasing. Refer to Environmental Management on pages 154 to 161. Risks • Weak control of water and material use can result in inefficiency and higher costs. • Inadequate waste management can lead to financial and reputational damage through breaches of environmental regulations. Opportunities • Enhancing operational efficiency and reducing costs by minimising water and material inputs. • Reducing our environmental footprint by cutting waste and implementing proper disposal methods. • Advancing R&D in sustainable materials, including recycled asphalt hot mix and warm mix, to support resource efficient operations.
