SECTION 2: OUR STRATEGIC CONTEXT 70 WHY IT MATTERS TO US We understand waste significantly contributes to carbon emissions, particularly methane, and every piece generated leaves negative downstream impacts on the environment, climate and local communities. As our business capitalises on consumption trends to increase revenue, we need to be accountable for the waste across our operations, spanning retail stores, indoor golf facilities, club-fitting services, golf events, warehouses, logistics and office activities. Our waste generated primarily includes packaging, paper, plastic, metal, glass, electronic and organic food waste. We also generate substantial construction waste during new store openings and renovations, further contributing to landfills. As we expand our operations, we envision a significant waste increase if we do not manage it proactively. Therefore, we strive to adopt a circular waste management approach and embed the 7R practices (Rethink, Refuse, Reduce, Reuse, Refill, Recycle and Rot) into our operations. Beyond that, we take responsibility for promoting circular practices among stakeholders to foster sustainable waste habits and culture throughout our organisation. KEY STRATEGIES We are adopting three key strategies to improve our waste management and reduce negative waste impacts. 1 Circular Waste Management 2 Measure, Assure & Report 3 Education, Engagement & Collaboration We commit to practising circular waste management by collaborating with suppliers and waste service providers to manage all forms of waste at our operations and reach our waste reduction goals. We commit to accurately and transparently measuring and reporting waste data to enhance accountability in our waste management efforts. We aim to expand circular waste awareness and practices to more stakeholders through training, education and outreach to create a culture around circular waste management. The Group is committed to adopting a circular approach to handle waste efficiently and responsibly from our operations, mitigating adverse environmental and social impacts.
