52 CapitaLand Integrated Commercial Trust READ MORE Read more on our supplier engagement on CICT's website Social Engaging Our Stakeholders Our Suppliers Supply Chain Due Diligence and Selection CICT works closely with its supply chain partners (contractors, vendors and suppliers) who are committed to high-quality EHS standards. We leverage our sponsor, CLI's third-party due diligence process to assess the ESG performance of critical suppliers. This facilitated the implementation of targeted ESG capability-building programmes for underperforming suppliers to improve their ESG performance towards a more sustainable and responsible supply chain. Supply chain vendors are selected through a structured and rigorous procurement process, which encompasses a balanced evaluation of financial and non-financial criteria, including safety requirements. To influence supply chain partners to operate responsibly in the areas of anticorruption, human rights, health and safety, and environmental management, CICT adopts the CLI Procurement Policy which incorporates sustainable procurement principles and the CLI Supply Chain Code of Conduct which form the basis of our supplier engagement. In 2024, 100% of CICT supply chain1 agreed to abide by the CLI Supply Chain Code of Conduct. Emphasis on Compliance, Health and Safety Guided by CLI’s in-house contractor management guidelines, we require all contractors to comply with local government and other legal requirements. Contractors must ensure that their staff are adequately trained or briefed on EHS measures and comply with CLI’s contractor house rules, which outline requirements such as the use of personal protective equipment and the reporting of accidents. In 2024, about 93% of our Singapore-based term contractor companies completed the virtual training relating to high-risk work activities, such as work at height. As CICT's properties are predominately in Singapore, the procurement spend is mainly on local suppliers. Preference is given to ISO 14001 and ISO 45001 certified companies or equivalent. In Singapore, we aim to appoint supply chain partners who are at least bizSAFE Level 3-certified. The bizSAFE programme is advocated by Singapore's Workplace Safety and Health Council to promote workplace safety and health in small and medium enterprises. In 2024, approximately 99% of CICT appointed contractors2 in Singapore were minimally bizSAFE Level 3-certified. Where applicable, CICT stipulates similar requirements for its overseas properties. CICT identified its cleaning and security contractors at its operational properties to be critical suppliers, and tracked their health and safety performance at its properties globally. In 2024, our cleaning and security contractors recorded an injury rate of 6.8 cases per million hours worked and a lost day rate of 14.7 days per million hours worked. Performance Monitoring and Evaluation Appointed supply chain vendors were evaluated periodically on their performance to ensure their continuous compliance with the procurement policy. Non-compliances will be flagged for correction and high sustainability risk suppliers with performance issues will be monitored closely for improvement. Suppliers that contravened or attempted to contravene any anti-corruption laws will be subject to contract termination. 1 Property maintenance and project-related contracts for owned and operationally managed properties and projects. This includes supply chain complying with their own code of conduct which is equivalent or more stringent than the CLI Supply Chain Code of Conduct. 2 Refers to term contractors where their work is on-site at CICT properties.
