CapitaLand Integrated Commercial Trust 2 About this Report
Dear Stakeholders, I am pleased to share CICT's Sustainability Report 2022, which provides an overview of our progressive strategicapproachandachievements in integrating sustainability into the way we do business. We are committed to continually improve reporting standards in line with recommendations by the Global Reporting Initiative and the Task Force on Climate-Related Financial Disclosures. We focus on eight key United Nations Sustainable Development Goals most aligned with CapitaLand’s 2030 Sustainability Master Plan (SMP). COMMITMENTTONET ZERO One of the key focus areas of the SMP is building the resilience of assets through decarbonisation efforts to mitigate climate change. CICT is aligned with CapitaLand Investment’s (CLI) science-based targets set out in the 2030 SMP that is in line with a 1.5°C scenario1, which will translate to Net Zero by 2050, and enhance its focus on social indicators. Our commitment to Net Zero is a group-wide initiative, from Board to management and employees. This means that the remuneration of management and employees is tied to sustainability performance targets in addition to financial targets. We will continue to innovate and leverage technologies to accelerate our transition to Net Zero. We strive to achieve this by improving operational efficiency, resource allocation and, where possible, using renewable energy in our properties. FORGINGTOWARDS 2030 TARGETS We adopt a holistic approach to identify and mitigate our carbon footprint across the real estate life cycle, including investment and operations, which is in line with the CapitaLand Sustainable Building Guidelines. For example, each property’s green journey will be evaluated for all new investments. CICT also adopts CLI's internal carbon price, which was implemented in 2021, to quantify climate-related risks and opportunities. In addition, we look to achieve a 100% green-rated portfolio for our operational properties by 2030. As we plan for green capital expenditure in asset plans, we will strive to achieve a balance between greening assets and revenue generation. In our drive to achieve Net Zero, we leveraged CapitaLand Sustainability X Challenge (CSXC), which was inaugurated in 2020. This global sustainability-focused initiative welcomes emerging and innovative technological solutions globally to address environmental challenges and drive decarbonisation. We have since initiated two pilot projects in selected properties from CSXC 2021, where testing is still ongoing. In CSXC 2022, we identified two other winning innovations relating to water leak detection and optimisation of water meter accuracy which will be tested at our properties. In addition, we have expanded our recycling efforts to food waste management and implemented trials for food waste treatment to produce bio-organic fertiliser and grey water at Tampines Mall and Funan. Operationally, we are exploring more renewable sources of energy. As part of our efforts to implement the photovoltaic system at IMM Building, 3,633 solar panels (11,960 sq m) have been installed on the roof of IMM Building in December 2022. Another 672 solar panels (1,760 sq m) will be installed in the second phase of this project in 1H 2023. Together, the estimated annual renewable energy to be generated is approximately 2.9 GWh. Phase 1 installation of solar panels at IMM Building We established a Green Finance Framework in February 2022 that outlines the criteria and guidelines which underpin CICT's green financing transactions. As of 31 December 2022, about 30% of CICT's group borrowings are sustainability-linked or green financing. 1 To operationalise its SBTi-approved carbon emissions reduction target for scope 1 and 2 emissions, CLI is reviewing its carbon emissions intensity reduction targets and other environment targets, including changing reference to 2019 as the baseline year instead of 2008. The targets are being reviewed as part of the scheduled review of CapitaLand’s 2030 SMP in 2022 and will be published before end May 2023. Integrated Sustainability Report 2022 3 CEO Message

BOARD DIVERSITY The Board embraces diversity and has formally adopted a Board Diversity Policy. The Board Diversity Policy provides for the Board to comprise talented and dedicated Directors with a diverse mix of expertise, experience, perspectives, skills and backgrounds, with due consideration to diversity factors. The Board believes in diversity and values the benefits that diversity can bring to the Board in its deliberations by avoiding groupthink and fostering constructive debate. Diversity enhances the Board’s decision-making capability and ensures that the Manager has the opportunity to benefit from all available talent and perspectives, which is essential to the effective governance of CICT's business and for ensuring long-term sustainable growth. The Nominating and Remuneration Committee (NRC), in carrying out its duties of determining the optimal composition of the Board in its Board renewal process and addressing Board vacancies, considers, amongst others, achieving an appropriate level of diversity in the Board composition having regard to diversity factors such as age, educational, business and professional backgrounds of itsmembers. Gender diversity is also considered an important aspect of diversity. There has been an increase in female representation on the Board in FY 2022 and progressively over the past financial years. For more information, please refer to the Corporate Governance Report in Annual Report 2022. MEASURED AGAINST GLOBAL BENCHMARKS CLI and CICT remain guided by externally validated international standards and frameworks in our sustainability reporting and will strive to continue enhancing our disclosures.

It recommended a framework to give investors, lenders and underwriters greater clarity on how to future-proof a company and is an attempt to move climate-related issues into the mainstream of financial filings. 2 To operationalise its SBTi approved carbon emissions reduction target for scope 1 and 2 emissions, CLI is reviewing its carbon emissions intensity reduction targets and other environment targets, including changing reference to 2019 as the baseline year instead of 2008. The targets are being reviewed as part of the scheduled review of CapitaLand Group’s 2030 SMP in 2022 and will be published before end May 2023. STRATEGY As a CLI-sponsored REIT, CICT’s identified ESG issues are aligned and adapted from CLI’s list. The selected ESG issues have been deemed material and applicable to CICT’s business and operations and will be guided by CLI and CICT’s regular review, assessment and feedback process of ESG topics moving forward. Since 2016, climate change and emissions reduction are key ESG material issues identified as relevant and critical for CICT and CLI. Climate change risk has been identified as a key risk as part of the ERM Framework and includes both physical and transition risks. Physical risks are a result of climate change and can be acute or chronic in climate patterns, such as rising sea levels, violent storms, long intense heat waves, flash floods and freshwater depletion. Transition risks result from a transition to a lower-carbon economy, which could entail potentially more stringent regulations and increased expectations from customers and stakeholders. In line with CLI, CICT's strategy to identify and address climate-related risks and opportunities spans all areas of its real estate life cycle, from the earliest stage of the investment process to design procurement, construction, operations or divestment. Integrated Sustainability Report 2022 15 Managing Climate Change
As part of the 2030 SMP implementation, CICT generally considers short-term to medium-term time frames to be until 2030, and long-term beyond 2030 in relation to the identification of climate-related risks and opportunities. CLI and its REITs, including CICT, commenced its climate scenario analysis in 2022 for its global portfolio to understand how the identified climate-related risks and opportunities could impact future operations. This analysis considers scenarios based on the latest global and scientific developments (scenarios from 1.5 ̊C to 3 ̊C for current to long-term time frames), to draw conclusions on the financially material physical and transition risks and validate its current strategy. CLI and the REITs will then review their mitigation and adaptation plans, and identify opportunities, in alignment with CapitaLand’s 2030 SMP. The SMP was designed to build resilience throughout CLI's operations and futureproof the real estate portfolio to guard against climate change risks and to avoid premature obsolescence and adopt available opportunities. Strategy to identify climate-related risks and opportunities – A Life Cycle Approach All new investments into operational assets and development projects undergo the EHS Impact Assessment during due diligence to identify any environmental (including climate change) risks and opportunities related to the asset/project site and its surroundings. The assessment covers performance metrics such as energy efficiency, as well as transition and physical risk and opportunity considerations. An internal shadow carbon price is also applied. Significant findings from the assessment would be incorporated in the investment paper submitted to CICTML Board for approval. Through the implementation of CLI’s Sustainable Building Guidelines (SBG), the aim is to identify and address the risks and opportunities of climate change right from the design stage. The local context of each project will be studied in detail, and appropriate measures will be taken into consideration with regards to adaptation of climate change. SBG also sets guidelines for buildings to be more energy efficient, e.g. setting green rating targets, specifying minimum equipment efficiency, and requiring the use of onsite renewable energy whenever possible. At the operational asset level, the CLI Environmental, Health and Safety Management System (EHSMS), which is audited by a third-party accredited certification body to ISO 14001 standard, serves to monitor transition risks relating to climate regulations via EHS legal registers updates and regular stakeholder engagements. Operational issues pertaining to climate change, energy and water are also identified and managed through the EHSMS to strengthen the climate resilience of the Trust’s portfolio. The CapitaLand 2030 SMP further outlines the targets and pathways for transition to a low-carbon business that is aligned with climate science. Energy use and carbon reduction targets, as well as green certification targets are set for its operational assets. Initiatives are put in place to improve the environmental performance, resilience and durability of its assets through system upgrades, system optimization, effective maintenance and changes to user behaviour. The continued achievement of high green building ratings as well as energy and water efficiency measures put in place to achieve the reduction targets would help to mitigate the impact of changing weather conditions.

The quantitative assessments of potential financial impacts are being conducted based on available climate-related projections and assumptions under the abovementioned scenarios. Six physical risks, including fluvial flooding, coastal flooding, extreme heat, tropical cyclones, wildfires and extreme cold and one transition risk, shifts in carbon price, were assessed during the process. For other risk areas which are identified to be material, but difficult to quantify, such as changes in consumer and investor preferences, a qualitative assessment is conducted based on internal stakeholder consultation within CLI and CICT. Potential impacts of climate-related risks and opportunities assessed across the portfolio are identified under different scenarios, as shown in Table 1 and 2. CICT faces more exposure to physical risks under the 3°C scenario in the long term, as minimal transition policies are expected to be in place while the development of low-carbon technology or related market changes may be slower. Under the 1.5°C and 2°C scenarios, the Trust faces higher levels of transition risks as more stringent climate-related policies are expected to be introduced and implemented. The insights on both quantitative and qualitative assessments of the risks identified provides a basis for the next steps in understanding the severityof risk impacts across time horizons. SCENARIOANALYSIS ON FUTURE CLIMATE-RELATED RISKS AND OPPORTUNITIES The climate scenario analysis for CLI's global portfolio considered the parameters listed below: Table 1: Material Physical Risks Assessed under the 3°C Scenario Risk Type Primary Risk Driver Geography Potential Impacts Extreme heat Hot days and extreme heat could become more common and/or severe • AUS • SG • Increase in cooling demand leading to higher electricity costs Tropical cyclones Properties may face more frequent and severe tropical cyclone • DEU • SG • Higher chance of damage to specific asset locations that are tropical cyclone-prone • Increase in operating costs (e.g. business interruption) Extreme cold Cold days and extreme cold could become more common and/or severe • AUS • Increase in warming demand leading to higher electricity costs Integrated Sustainability Report 2022 17
