Governance Oversight of labour standards and human rights is integrated within Tropicana’s sustainability governance framework, reflecting our responsibility as a township developer to ensure that workforce welfare is appropriately managed across our developments. The Board of Directors and relevant Board Committees provide oversight through the Group’s governance structure, while day-to-day implementation is carried out by the Sustainability, Human Resources, Procurement, Operations and Project teams within their respective roles. As a developer, Tropicana does not directly employ most construction workers but works closely with appointed contractors and consultants to ensure labour standards and human rights expectations are understood and implemented at project sites. These expectations are communicated during contractor onboarding, mobilisation planning and site briefings, and reinforced through ongoing project supervision and engagement. Where labour-related concerns arise, they are escalated through established reporting channels for review and appropriate follow-up. We also engage with contractors, suppliers and industry partners to strengthen awareness and capability in responsible and sustainable practices, recognising that labour standards, human rights and broader sustainability risks are closely interconnected. This is particularly relevant as climate change may affect worker safety, health and productivity, especially in construction environments exposed to heat, weather variability and site conditions. For example, in November 2025, Tropicana collaborated with the UN Global Compact Network Malaysia & Brunei and Alliance Bank Malaysia Berhad to host a Climate Action Workshop involving more than 30 Small and Medium Enterprises (“SMEs”). While focused on climate readiness, the programme also supported suppliers in strengthening their overall ESG practices, including governance, workforce management and responsible business conduct. Salient Human Rights Risks in Construction Activities Across our developments, we recognise that labour and human rights risks may arise through the workforce engaged by contractors and suppliers. Key areas of focus include: • Recruitment practices, including prevention of inappropriate recruitment fees or coercive practices • Working hours, fatigue management and fair working conditions • Timely and fair payment of wages in accordance with legal requirements • Workers’ access to their personal identification documents and freedom of movement • Accommodation standards, where housing is provided • Respectful workplace conduct, including prevention of bullying, harassment or intimidation • Access to grievance and reporting channels for workers across project sites These areas form part of our oversight focus and inform our policies, contractor expectations and site management practices. Human Rights Risk Assessment & Monitoring We assess human rights and labour risks on an ongoing basis as part of project mobilisation and site operations. This includes considering workforce composition, labour sourcing arrangements and contractor practices, recognising that construction activities involve multiple employers and supply chain partners. Labour-related risks associated with contractors and suppliers are also reviewed through our procurement due diligence and project oversight processes. This includes assessing contractor capability, compliance track record and adherence to our expectations on labour standards, as described in the Procurement Practices section of this Sustainability Statement. As part of this approach, we reference internationally recognised indicators, including the 11 forced labour indicators published by the International Labour Organisation (“ILO”), to guide awareness, monitoring and escalation where necessary. Where gaps or concerns are identified, we engage the relevant contractors or partners to seek clarification and appropriate corrective actions, within the scope of our contractual rights and operational oversight.
