The rising temperatures will also affect the business as a REIT. Some of the direct impacts such as flooding or forest fires, and indirect impacts including rising insurance costs and demographic changes could become more significant with time. Al-Salām REIT aims to mitigate climate change risks by improving energy efficiency. The first step in this direction is monitoring the REIT’s electricity consumption to identify the energy intensive operations and consumption patterns. In this reporting period, the REIT has calculated its Building Energy Index using electricity data. This information gives an idea of how much electricity is being used in lettable areas of each property. For the last three financial years, the electricity consumption intensity has been decreasing across the three properties, indicating efficiency improvement. The REIT has also calculated its scope 2 GHG emissions for the past three (3) years using electricity data respectively.
