90 AL-SALĀM REIT ENVIRONMENTAL STEWARDSHIP ANNUAL REPORT 2023 The REIT recorded a 72.52% increase in Scope 1 emissions from diesel consumption, resulting in 19.82 tCO2e. Additionally, Scope 2 emissions from electricity consumption at the Manager's office in Petaling Jaya and Johor Bahru were recorded at 22.93 tCO2e, a 20.86% increase from FY2022. In FY2023, we initiated the recording of Scope 3 emissions, encompassing employee business travel using cars and motorcycles which totalled 4.39 tCO2e. The jump in the percentage of emmisions was due to the lift in the COVID-19 Movement Control Order ("MCO"). Operations and business activities at the head office gradually resume to pre-MCO years. The Manager controls the rates of carbon emissions by introducing the Work-From-Anywhere concept, where applicable. Furthermore, we also recorded Scope 3 emissions related to downstream leased assets across our properties, registering 18,278.98 tCO2e and experienced a 51.73% increase. To control carbon emissions from leased assets, the Manager is looking into green energy alternatives to reduce reliance on electricity.

In implementing robust water management practices, Al-Salām REIT aims to minimise our environmental impact and promote conservation. Our Approach Al-Salām REIT supports responsible water consumption through targeted initiatives tailored to each property. At KOMTAR JBCC, the REIT implemented a strategic approach by closing toilets based on occupancy and demand, ensuring water usage aligns with actual needs. In Menara KOMTAR, the emphasis is on creating awareness through prominent signage within the toilet areas, encouraging occupants to actively reduce water usage. Similarly, at Pasaraya Komuniti @Mart Kempas, the REIT employs awareness signages strategically placed in toilet and sink areas, fostering a culture of mindfulness among users.
