EMBEDDING SUSTAINABILITY INTO OUR BUSINESS As a global organisation, we have a responsibility to operate in ways that maximise shared value for our nation, communities, people and the planet. In this regard, we define sustainability as managing and operating a responsible business while securing profits and driving longterm value creation, striving to meet the needs of the present without compromising the ability of future generations to meet their own needs. We are delivering on this imperative by integrating sustainability into our strategies and processes while developing technology-based solutions that drive the Environmental, Social and Governance (“ESG”) performance of asset owners, thereby maximising positive impact across our value chain. In FY2022, we embarked on the next phase of our sustainability journey with the launch of our sustainability roadmap. Covering the period of FY2022 to FY2024, the roadmap defines tangible goals across six pillars of action, with the overarching objectives of shaping our sustainability journey and propelling us to join the ranks of industry leaders in sustainability. The roadmap was developed through a comprehensive and holistic approach that included the gathering of insights from our stakeholders, enabling us to align our actions with our sustainability goals and objectives. Following the inauguration of our sustainability roadmap, the Strategic Business and Market Development (“SBMD”) and the Health, Safety, Security and Environment (“HSSE”) unit hosted our first ESG Awareness Month 2022 at the UEM Edgenta Learning Centre (“UELC”). The event was participated in physically and virtually by more than 400 Edgenta Stars, including members of our senior management team, celebrating the unveiling of our sustainability roadmap. The event kick-started with opening remarks by Rais Imran, our Chief Strategy Officer, stressing on the importance of cultivating ESG awareness and practices within the organisation. This led the way for Syahrunizam Samsudin, our MD/CEO, who delivered a keynote speech on how the group can leverage on being, thinking, and acting sustainably to drive long-term value. At UEM Edgenta, we view sustainability as an essential component of our operations and a key differentiator of the solutions we provide our customers. The event was attended by practitioners and industry experts who contributed to a panel discussion on the topic, “Sustainable Value Creation: ESG as value Driver as opposed to Cost Center”. This was followed by the official launch of the roadmap by Syahrunizam Samsudin. Sharifah Bakar Ali, Head of SBMD, and Andrew Raj, Head of Operational Excellence & Health, Safety, Security and Environment (“OE & HSSE”), who presented the key components of the Sustainability Roadmap, including the timeline and major milestones to be achieved by 2024. During the event, key members of our business units also shared inspiring notes on their ongoing ESG initiatives along with their future plans to embed sustainability within their daily operations. This session participated in by Opus Consultants, Infrastructure Services, Healthcare Support and Property & Facility Solutions teams, showcasing a display of various innovative ESG elements being integrated within their respective business activities. In summary, the sharing sessions further solidified our belief and commitment to champion sustainability within our diverse industries.
