While the REIT considers strong financial performance and long-term returns important for the continued business, the REIT recognises that such benefits are also extended to other stakeholders. Creating sustainable economic value allows the REIT to achieve greater cost savings, improve market outlook and the brand reputation, while strengthening relationships with the stakeholders by implementing mutually beneficial initiatives. This approach also strengthens the REIT’s long-term resilience to evolving market demand and economic conditions, ensuring it stays abreast of all developments and demands, and creating value that is aligned to the best interest of all the stakeholders.
