Training & Development Training and development are integral to ensuring our employees remain equipped with the skills and knowledge required to support the Group’s operations and future growth. The Group maintains a structured training and development framework covering technical competencies, safety requirements, leadership development and job-related skills. Training needs are identified through annual performance reviews, operational requirements and employee development planning. Training programmes delivered during the year covered several key capability areas, including: • Leadership and management development • Workplace communication and professional skills • Regulatory and compliance training (including anti-bribery, data protection and foreign worker management) • Sustainability and ESG awareness • Occupational health and safety training and emergency preparedness These initiatives support employee capability development, strengthen operational effectiveness and ensure compliance with regulatory and workplace safety requirements across the Group. Health and safety related training included programmes such as first aid, CPR and emergency response awareness to enhance preparedness at project sites and office locations. In line with our Learning and Development policy, employees are encouraged to pursue continuous learning and professional development. The Group supports this through internal training programmes, external courses and professional certification opportunities. Where relevant, financial assistance and study or examination leave may be provided to employees pursuing further education or professional qualifications, subject to applicable conditions. In addition to formal training, employees are encouraged to participate in community and volunteering initiatives, including those organised through Tropicana Foundation or recognised external organisations. These activities provide opportunities to apply skills in different environments while contributing to broader social outcomes. Further details on employee volunteering and participation are set out in the Community Investment section of this report. Training is provided based on role requirements, operational needs and individual development plans, and is not differentiated based on gender. In FY2025, average training hours were 27 hours for female employees and 25 hours for male employees, reflecting normal variations in training participation across roles.
