SUSTAINABLE TRUST FUND SUPPLY CHAIN MANAGEMENT (CONT’D) OUR APPROACH (CONT’D) OUR PERFORMANCE Aligned with our strategy for local economic support, we prioritise local suppliers, ensuring quality and contributing to community economic development. In 2023, we initiated a screening mechanism to assess new suppliers based on environmental criteria and began evaluating suppliers for their environmental impacts. This proactive approach reflects our commitment to sustainability and our ongoing efforts to integrate environmentally responsible practices into our supply chain management. From 2021 to 2023, Al-‘Aqar REIT consistently allocated 100% of our procurement budget to local suppliers. This year, we evaluated the environmental impacts of 61% of our suppliers, with environmental criteria applied to the screening process for 50% of our new suppliers.
