CapitaLand China Trust - Sustainability Report 2021

Sustainability Commitment PUSH BOUNDARIES OF CHANGE To push the boundaries of change, CapitaLand will transit to a low-carbon business that is aligned with climate science. In November 2020, it had its carbon emissions reduction targets approved by the Science Based Targets initiative (SBTi) for a ‘well-below 2°C’ scenario. The targets are in line with the goals of the Paris Agreement to keep global temperature rise well below 2°C in this century. CapitaLand is also developing a new metric, Return on Sustainability, in addition to the regular financial return to measure the CapitaLand’s ESG impact. CapitaLand has also launched the inaugural CapitaLand Sustainability X Challenge (CSXC), the first sustainability focused innovation challenge by a Singapore headquartered real estate company that globally sources for emerging sustainability technologies and solutions in the built environment. The CSXC covers seven challenge statements and reflect the key themes and goals in CapitaLand’s 2030 Sustainability Master Plan. CapitaLand aims to be a leader in sustainable finance and secure S$6 billion of sustainable financing by 2030. Proceeds and interest rate savings from CapitaLand’s efforts in sustainable finance can also be used to drive more sustainability initiatives and innovations within the company. MEASURED AGAINST GLOBAL BENCHMARKS CapitaLand was one of the first companies in Singapore to voluntarily publish an annual Global Sustainability Report and externally assure the entire report. Benchmarking against an international standard and framework that is externally validated helps the organisation to overcome the challenges in sustainability reporting that may arise from its portfolio of diverse asset types and geographical presence globally. CapitaLand is also a signatory to the United Nations (UN) Global Compact and its Global Sustainability Report serves as its Communication on Progress, which will be made available at www. unglobalcompact.org when published. For its efforts, CapitaLand is listed in the Global 100 Most Sustainable Corporations Index, Dow Jones Sustainability World Index and Asia-Pacific Index, Global Real Estate Sustainability Benchmark (Global Sector Leader, Diversified- Listed), FTSE4Good Index Series, MSCI Global Sustainability Indexes and The Sustainability Yearbook. CapitaLand Global Sustainability Report 2021 will be published by 31 May 2022. CapitaMall Aidemengdun Integrated Sustainability Report 2021 09
