Water Management Across Our Operations Consistent with the approach outlined above, water use is managed across our golf resort, buildings, and project sites, with practical measures applied to improve efficiency, reduce avoidable losses, and support reliable operations. Area Key Initiatives Tropicana Golf & Country Resort • Irrigation systems are maintained and periodically upgraded to support water use across the golf course and landscaped areas, including scheduling of irrigation, which may include night or earlymorning watering to reduce evaporation losses • Preventive maintenance and timely repair of irrigation networks are carried out to minimise leaks and avoid unnecessary water loss, with basic controls in place to avoid overwatering, including during rainfall • Retention ponds and on-site water bodies are maintained to support irrigation requirements, and also serve as a source of water for operational use where available • Water storage and retention systems are used to support operational continuity, particularly during periods of higher demand • Alternative water sources, including groundwater and stored water, are used where available to supplement irrigation needs Buildings and Managed Assets • Water-efficient sanitary fittings compliant with recognised standards such as the Water Efficiency Labelling Product Scheme (“WELPS”) or Water Efficiency Labelling Scheme (“WELS”)¹, including dual-flush systems and self-closing taps, are installed in common areas where applicable • Rainwater harvesting systems are implemented to support irrigation and common area use, where applicable • Air-conditioning condensate water is recycled for irrigation and other suitable uses • Preventive maintenance and prompt repair of pipe and meter leaks are carried out • Water storage systems are maintained to support supply reliability • Water consumption is monitored through utility records to support efficient operations Project Sites and Township Developments • Rainwater harvesting and reuse for curing, washing, dust suppression, and irrigation, where feasible • Coordinating water-intensive works such as concreting and earthworks with construction progress to avoid unnecessary water use • Applying efficient curing and washing methods, including use of wet coverings, curing compounds, and controlled washing practices • Using designated washout areas and site controls to manage wash water and avoid unnecessary discharge or loss • Controlled curing, washing, and good housekeeping practices to minimise unnecessary water use • Promptly addressing leaks, overflows, or supply interruptions to prevent unnecessary water loss • Preventive maintenance and repair of leaks in pipelines and storage systems • Incorporation of rainwater harvesting, efficient irrigation systems, and water-sensitive landscaping in suitable developments • Use of native and adaptive plant species to reduce irrigation demand • Water-sensitive landscape features, including wetlands and biofiltration systems such as at Tropicana Metropark, are integrated to support natural water management • Employees and site personnel are provided awareness and guidance on responsible water use 1. The WELPS is Malaysia’s national water efficiency labelling scheme, while the WELS is used in countries such as Singapore and Australia. These schemes rate sanitary fittings based on their water efficiency, with higher-rated fittings designed to use less water. 167
