In this regard, we strive to meet the needs of the present without compromising the ability of future generations to meet their own needs. We acknowledge our responsibility to ensure that our services, practices and offerings are delivered in a way that recognises the interconnectedness of environmental, social and economic issues, striving to address these considerations in a balanced and sustainable way. Ultimately, we trust that sustainability is significantly key to our current balanced success and future viable growth. Backed by such a commitment, we envision becoming an industry leader with sustainability as our hallmark of excellence and corporate citizenry, building positive and impactful relationships with our stakeholders for the long-term. This is aligned with our Edgenta Way - delivering quality services to our customers across our Healthcare Support, Property & Facility Solutions, and Infrastructure Services, along with Asset Consultancy. We aim to do so while maintaining industry standards, advanced technology-based, efficiency and robust safety considerations. In enhancing our approach towards sustainability, we have established a two-year Sustainability Roadmap (FY2022 – FY2024) that will provide the overarching steer to our sustainability journey. The roadmap outlines our strategy and initiatives surrounding our material matters and provides a framework for governance, performance management as well as reporting and communication in line with leading industry standards. Similarly, the roadmap will adequately complement our existing Sustainability Policy, which has guided the integration of sustainability into our operations. In view of the introduction of the roadmap, we will also be reviewing and updating the Sustainability Policy in FY2023. To ensure that we further align and commit ourselves to the Sustainability Roadmap that we have developed in June 2022, we have embedded ESG KPIs as part of our corporate scorecard. The ESG KPIs are cascaded down to all Business Units and Corporate Support Departments in our effort to further integrate sustainability culture within the organisation and work together towards our sustainability goals. In the reporting year, we have achieved more than 80% of the initiatives that are listed in our 2022 roadmap. Our sustainability aspirations are underpinned by our economic, environmental and social commitments, with the objective of driving the initiatives and actions taken across our key sustainability material matters, which are: Sustainable Economic Growth Minimising Environment Impact Social Value Creation GOOD HEALTH AND WELL-BEING GENDER EQUALITY DECENT WORK AND ECONOMIC GROWTH INDUSTRY, INNOVATION AND INFRASTRUCTURE CLIMATE ACTION Achieve gender equality and empower all women and girls Diversity and inclusivity form an integral part of our corporate culture. Promote sustained, inclusive and sustainable economic growth, full and productive employment and decent work for all We prioritise creating positive impact in the lives of our employees, local communities and especially our suppliers through our Vendor Development Programme (“VDP”).

Further to the key pillars established, we have also committed to the following UN SDGs, which we believe may assist us at setting our strategic approach towards fulfilling our sustainability ambitions.
