INTEGRATING CLIMATE-RELATED CONSIDERATIONS STRATEGY (CONT’D) Physical Risks Physical Risks Potential Impact Opportunities Acute Healthcare facilities may face increased risks from extreme weather events such as hurricanes, or floods, potentially leading to property damage, disruptions in operations, and increased insurance costs. Performing thorough risk assessments, developing emergency response plans, and investing in resilient infrastructure are crucial steps in mitigating the immediate risks. Chronic Persistent environmental shifts, such as rising temperatures and changes in precipitation patterns, pose continual challenges in terms of: • infrastructure • availability of resources • health of workers Implementing climate-resilient infrastructure and building designs can enhance the REIT’s ability to withstand extreme weather events and other climate-related impacts can help alleviate the long-term impacts. RISK MANAGEMENT METRICS AND TARGETS ESG risk considerations are integrated into our risk management framework, where the Board receives support from our BSC and SMC to systematically manage risks. Our robust risk management processes enable the identification and assessment of the primary climate-related risks we are exposed to. The metrics and targets integral to the REIT’s strategic and risk management processes are employed to address climaterelated risks and opportunities. To guide our efforts, JLG Group established a comprehensive 2030 ESG Roadmap, complete with a set of key performance indicators (“KPIs”), to actively reduce our emissions and minimise waste generation. Al-‘Aqar REIT measures carbon emissions, energy and water usage, representing carbon emissions in tCO₂e, electricity in kWh, and water in m³. We monitor and disclose emissions under Scope 1, Scope 2 and Scope 3, continuously tracking GHG emissions across our operations and consistently enhancing TCFD disclosures to align with relevant recommendations and regulatory requirements. 55 SUSTAINABILLITY STATEMENTS 1 2 4 5 6 AL-`AQAR HEALTHCARE REIT ANNUAL REPORT 2023
