With the world at 1.2oC warmer than pre-industrial times, extreme weather events are already affecting at least 85% of the world’s population, with an increased frequency and severity of natural disasters over the last few years. As we approach a climate tipping point, the world must accelerate action to address climate change and limit global warming within 1.5°C by 2030. Decarbonisation efforts need to be accelerated this decade. CDL’s corporate ethos of “Conserving as We Construct”, established in 1995, has positioned it well in the race to zero. CDL’s World Green Building Council’s (WorldGBC) Net Zero Carbon Buildings Commitment and more ambitious carbon emissions reduction targets assessed and validated by the Science Based Target initiative (SBTi) marks a leap forward in its decarbonisation commitment. At COP27 in November 2022, CDL signed the Action Declaration on Climate Policy Engagement launched by Corporate Knights and the Global 100 Council to tackle climate emergencies through urgent and collective action in the global Race to Zero. Since mid-2022, with the Group’s hotel operations arm emerging from COVID-19 disruptions, CDL proactively engaged its key subsidiaries Millennium & Copthorne Hotels Limited (M&C) and CBM Pte Ltd in setting clear targets and committing to action aligned with CDL’s 2030 net zero goals. CDL remains dedicated to Environmental, Social and Governance (ESG) integration and is focused on capturing growth opportunities while mitigating ESG risks, creating value for all stakeholders. CDL’s Integrated Sustainability Report (ISR) 2023, “Zero in on Positive Impact”, details the Company’s ESG strategy and actions towards creating a positive impact in the communities it operates in, and charting its path towards a net zero future. MAINTAINING SUSTAINABILITY LEADERSHIP & STRONG GOVERNANCE Continued Recognition by Global Sustainability Rankings and Awards As a testament to CDL’s long-standing commitment to sustainable development, its corporate sustainability efforts have been affirmed by leading global sustainability ratings and rankings: • Global 100 Most Sustainable Corporations in the World by Corporate Knights: Ranked 28th in 2023 and maintained the world’s topmost sustainable real estate management and development company for the fifth consecutive year, and the only Singapore company listed for 14 consecutive years • CDP: Only Singapore company recognised in the 2022 CDP A List; only company in Southeast Asia and Hong Kong to maintain double ‘A’s for climate change (since 2018) and water security (since 2019) • FT-Nikkei-Statista Asia-Pacific Climate Leaders 2022: One of four Singapore companies and only Singapore property company to be listed • MSCI ESG Research: Maintained ‘AAA’ rating since 2010 • Bloomberg Gender-Equality Index (GEI): Only Singapore real estate company listed since 2018 • Sustainalytics: 2023 Global 50 TopRated, Industry Top-Rated and Regional Top-Rated Since 2014, CDL has established an integrated governance structure with everyone committed to their role in coordinating ESG efforts, both horizontally between the ESG pillars and business functions, and vertically across reporting lines up to the Group CEO and the Board. The Chief Sustainability Officer (CSO) reports directly to the Board Sustainability Committee (BSC), which comprises three independent directors, and CDL’s Executive Director and Group CEO. The BSC has direct advisory supervision of CDL’s sustainability strategy, material ESG issues, work plans, performance targets setting, tracking and reporting. At least two meetings are held annually for the management to update the BSC on CDL’s sustainability plans and performance Board Sustainability Committee SUSTAINABILITY GOVERNANCE STRUCTURE
