CapitaLand Integrated Commercial Trust - Annual Report 2021

Singapore Operating Properties Assets under Development/Upgrading 57 63 26 1,469 1,900 1,428 The main water source for CICT’s portfolio is from Public Utilities Board (PUB), Singapore’s national water agency. In 2021, CICT’s total water consumption (including recycled water) amounted to around 1,526,000 m 3 from the Singapore operating properties including assets under development/upgrading, CapitaSpring and 21 Collyer Quay. Excluding projects under works, the 2.9% increase year-on-year was largely attributable to a slight increase in business activities compared to 2020. As a result, CICT’s 2021 water intensity for operating properties inched up to 0.104 m 3 /sqm/month, representing a 3.6% year-on-year increase and a 40.9% reduction compared to the base year 2008. To reduce water consumption, we also utilised recycled water such as harvested rainwater and NEWater for plant irrigation, hi-jetting of car park decks, the cooling towers and sprinkler systems across our Singapore operating properties. Twelve of CICT’s operating properties used about 590,000 m 3 of recycled water or 40.2% of the total water consumption in 2021. We adopt stringent monitoring of the consumption and water intensity to ensure that fluctuations are duly accounted for and issues are promptly addressed. For our German assets, Gallileo reported about 19,000 m 3 of water consumption in 2021. Water consumption data for Main Airport Center was not available at time of reporting. WATER CONSUMPTION (‘000m 3 ) WATER INTENSITY (m 3 /sqm/month) 2021 2019 2021 0.25 0.20 0.15 0.10 0.05 0.00 2020 2018 2020 2019 2008 1,526 1,963 1,454 40.9% Reduction since 2008 Singapore Office Singapore Retail Singapore Operating Properties Tenants’ consumption was 162,644,000 kWh. This excluded tenants’ consumption at Plaza Singapura as tenants were billed directly, 21 Collyer Quay, which was undergoing upgrading works, as well as CapitaSpring as the building obtained temporary occupation permit in November 2021. CICT also recorded direct fuel consumption of around 824,000 kWh resulting from usage of diesel for generator operations. We recognise that as buildings become more energy efficient, the reduction in energy intensity inevitably becomes less significant. Collaboration with tenants becomes all the more important. A green clause is implemented for leases in majority of the Singapore portfolio where tenants are to support green initiatives implemented. In addition, a green fit-out guide, along with other materials are included in the handover kit which are given to new tenants. This is to encourage tenants to adopt green fit out and promote green practices and behaviour. For the German assets, Gallileo and Main Airport Center reported a total energy consumption of about 16,124,000 kWh including district heating for the whole building. Gallileo did not record any energy consumption as it was leased to a single tenant who used renewable energy. Renewable Energy CICT has more than 1,700 m 2 of solar panels at Bedok Mall, Bugis Junction, JCube, and Asia Square Tower 2. These solar panels have helped our properties to tap around 119,000 kWh of renewable energy source. Water Annual Report 2021 135 Environment
