Area Key Initiatives Scheduled waste management • Scheduled waste such as used oils, paints and chemical containers are handled, stored, and disposed of in accordance with regulatory requirements • Licensed contractors are engaged for collection and disposal Licensed waste contractor engagement • Licensed waste contractors are engaged for the collection, transport and disposal of waste • Waste disposal is carried out in accordance with environmental regulatory requirements Monitoring and site oversight • Waste management practices are monitored through routine site inspections and consultant supervision • Compliance with contractual and regulatory requirements is monitored as part of project oversight Continuous improvement • Waste management practices are reviewed over the course of project execution • Improvements in waste reduction, reuse and handling practices are considered where feasible We also manage operational waste generated at assets owned and operated the Group, including Tropicana Golf & Country Resort and Tropicana Gardens Office Tower. This includes domestic, landscaping and maintenance-related waste, which is segregated and collected by licensed waste contractors in accordance with regulatory requirements. Waste Reduction at Construction Sites We consider waste reduction in the planning and execution of our development projects, including earthwork balancing, material planning and selection of appropriate construction methods. We also consider approaches such as reusable formwork and the Industrialised Building System (“IBS”), where feasible and appropriate, to improve material efficiency and reduce construction waste. These practices are applied at our project sites as part of construction execution, including those implemented by our main contractors. Examples of waste reduction, reuse, recycling, and recovery practices applied across our project sites are summarised below. 4R Principle Key Measures Reduce • Accurate material planning and procurement coordination to minimise over-ordering, material surplus and off cuts • Adoption of reusable construction systems such as aluminium formwork, where appropriate, to reduce timber consumption and repetitive material waste • Use of prefabricated and IBS components, where specified and feasible, to improve dimensional accuracy and reduce on-site cutting and waste generation • Controlled concrete pouring and placement to minimise excess concrete generation • Proper maintenance of machinery and equipment to reduce material contamination and generation of hazardous waste Reuse • Repurposing hardened concrete and masonry waste within project sites for temporary access, levelling and site protection works, where suitable • Reuse of timber, plywood and temporary materials for hoarding, protection works and other site applications • Reuse of excavated soil and aggregates within project sites for backfilling, levelling and landscaping, where feasible • Retention and reuse of formwork, temporary works materials and structural supports across construction phases to minimise material consumption and waste generation • Return of unused materials to suppliers, where permitted AR 2025 | SUSTAINABILITY 160
