12COMMUNITY INVESTMENT Related UNSDGs Why Is It Important Our developments are part of the communities in which people live and work. We recognise that our responsibility extends beyond our business operations to supporting the well-being of the communities around us. We have continued to support community initiatives over the years, including during more challenging periods. These efforts reflect our commitment to contribute positively, particularly in supporting underserved communities. Through these initiatives, we seek to make a meaningful difference where support is needed and to contribute to the long-term well-being of the communities, we are part of. Goal 3: Good Health & Wellbeing Goal 4: Quality Education Goal 16: Peace, Justice & Strong Institutions Goal 17: Partnership For The Goals OUR APPROACH Our community investment activities are undertaken on a structured and selective basis.

These efforts are carried out by Tropicana, including through Tropicana Foundation, the Group’s philanthropic arm, and involve participation from our employees, business units and partners. Established in 2011, Tropicana Foundation serves as the community-focused arm of Tropicana Corporation Berhad, dedicated to impactful initiatives under three core pillars: crisis and poverty aid, educational support, and community development through sports, arts, and culture. We focus on areas that contribute to long-term community well-being including: • Education and youth development, • Community well-being and social support During the year, we supported programmes covering education assistance, community support, festive contributions, and basic needs for underprivileged children, elderly communities and welfare organisations. We also supported activities in sports, arts and culture, with participation from employees and partners. In FY2025, we introduced a system to formally record volunteer hours, providing clearer visibility into employee participation and enabling more structured tracking of our community engagement efforts. This initiative formalises a long-standing practice of employee involvement in community programmes, which was previously undertaken on a less structured basis. During the year, a total of 72 volunteer hours were recorded under this system, representing an initial baseline as we strengthen our approach to employee volunteering. Employee Volunteering & Participation Where community investments are made, intended beneficiaries and expected outcomes are considered at the planning stage.
