SUSTAINABILITY STATEMENT ENVIRONMENTAL STEWARDSHIP (CONT’D) CLOSING STATEMENT GRI CONTENT INDEX Waste and Effluent Management We strongly believe in our responsibility and role in managing both environment and community wellbeing. Thus, we remain committed to managing waste generated from our operations according to local waste regulations. While the amount of waste generated within the Fund’s property portfolio or HQ is not monitored, the Manager monitors the effluent produced by the KPJ hospitals to ensure that the quality of effluent abides by all relevant regulatory standards. On a monthly basis, the Fund requires that the Maintenance Manager issue a report on the effluent produced by the hospitals. Upon satisfactory findings, the hospital’s licence to dispose of effluent will be validated. The Maintenance Manager is also required to make certain that each hospital follows the standards set out in the Environmental Quality Act 1974, the National Water Services Commission Act 2006 (Act 654), and the Water Services Industry Act 2006. Water Management As the Fund’s HQ is situated in an office space that is not directly controlled by the Manager, it has not implemented any initiatives to reduce water consumption or manage its potential impacts. It also does not monitor the amount of water used, as it is included in the monthly rental fee. However, the Fund recognises the importance of proper water management to combat issues surrounding water scarcity, and intends to do its part in reducing wastage. Moving forward, the Fund will do its best to create awareness among employees about responsible water usage as an attempt to curb any wastages. Way Forward As the world marches ahead into the COVID-19 epidemic, this recovery is certain to bring about a new set of challenges to surpass and overcome. Through this Al-`Aqar will remain steadfast and adaptable, laser focused in continuing our sustainability journey through promoting sustainable practices and managing ESG risks and opportunities. We intend to strengthen our ESG performance and drive positive economic growth, while delivering value to stakeholders in the coming years.
