CapitaLand Integrated Commercial Trust - Annual Report 2021

MANAGING OUR ENVIRONMENTAL FOOTPRINT CapitaLand’s Environmental Management System (EMS) is a key tool in managing CICT’s environmental footprint across the portfolio. This EMS is integrated with CapitaLand’s Occupational, Health and Safety Management System (OHSMS) to form CapitaLand’s Environmental, Health and Safety Management System (EHSMS). CapitaLand’s EHSMS is audited by a third-party accredited certification body to ISO 14001 and ISO 45001 standards. ISO 14001 and ISO 45001 are internationally recognised standards for the environmental management of businesses and occupational health and safety management of businesses respectively. * This includes implementing the EHSMS. compliance is evaluated annually. Risk management of environmental aspects and impacts involves identifying and managing significant environmental aspectsofourbusinessoperations that canpotentially have a negative impact on the environment. The EMS provides a systematic approach to assess the significance of each environmental aspect and impact based on factors such as the likelihood of the occurrence, severity of the impact and control measures implemented. CICT strives to minimise impacts such as resource depletion, carbon emissions and waste generation, by setting environmental targets such as green building rating targets; carbon emissions, energy and water reduction targets; and stakeholder engagement activities. The targets are linked to the remuneration for staff including top management. Training and Awareness Programmes Employees attend training and awareness programmes to facilitate effective implementation of CapitaLand’s EHSMS. In 2021, 21.5% of employees attended EHS-related training, clocking over 1,640 training hours. New employees are introduced to CapitaLand’s EHS policy and EHSMS. In light of COVID-19, more digital learning sessions were conducted in 2021. Internal and External Audits CapitaLand has in place an internal audit system to ensure the conformance and effective implementation of its EMS to ISO 14001 international standards. External audits are conducted annually by a third-party accredited certification body. Engaging Tenants to Go Green Beyond developing environmentally sustainable properties, and operating them according to best practices, CICT understands the vital role that end- users of its buildings play. Collaboration with tenants is becoming more important to influence and support their sustainability goals. A green clause is implemented across all leases in its retail properties and for new leases in its office properties in Singapore where tenants are to support green initiatives by the landlord including proper disposal of waste. For all its properties in Singapore, a green fit-out guide is given to new tenants to encourage adoption of greener fit-outs, lighting efficiency requirements and promote green practices and behaviour.
