Section 6 UEM Edgenta Berhad ENHANCING VALUE THROUGH SUSTAINABILITY 156 EMPLOYEE TRAINING AND AWARENESS Building an ESG Culture In 2023, UEM Edgenta focused on cultivating a culture of sustainability through its Environmental, Social, and Governance (“ESG”) initiatives. We organised ESG Awareness Month in September 2023 and conducted various ESG training programmes. Additionally, we hosted three workshops, three training sessions, and four webinars aimed at upskilling our Edgenta Stars. Some of the training and awareness areas that we focused on in 2023 are Net Zero Targets, Introduction to Task Force on Climate-related Financial Disclosures ("TCFD") and Assurance of ESG Data. We empowered all business units and operating sites to organise ESG Knowledge Sharing Sessions at their respective locations. These are some of the capacity-building initiatives held as prescribed in our Sustainability roadmap as we advance in our sustainability maturity, as well as in response to regulatory requirements. We partnered with our Internal Auditors who were upskilled through the Assurance of ESG Data training and our Risk, Integrity and Compliance department on TCFD and produced a TCFD workplan. During the year, we upskilled over 1,000 participants from various business units and departments on these broad areas of sustainability. We also collaborated with subject matter experts from other organisations on sustainability knowledge-sharing sessions. Our sustainability knowledge sharing programmes include a discussion on The Protection of Children and Youths, Welfare and Rights Act in our Taiwan office and awareness on UAE's Labour Law in our UAE office. ENHANCING EMPLOYEE CAPABILITIES UEM Edgenta has enhanced its internal mobility programme with the introduction of the Opportunity Marketplace which serves as a platform for employees to explore new career growth and opportunity within UEM Edgenta. The platform aims to promote talent mobility, skills development and career progression. In addition, Edgenta Academy has designed various programmes to enhance employee capabilities. These include Signature Programmes like the Facility Managers Development Programme (“FMDP”), which prepares existing facility managers to support future social trends and needs. We have implemented Executive Leadership Programme, targeted for senior management leaders, with an aim to foster cooperation, develop transformational leaders, strengthen leadership competency, boost creative leadership, and innovate, focusing on changing behaviours in participants to achieve the EoTF25 vision. Additionally, there are Talent Programmes such as the 12-month programme designed to train high performers based on the Enhanced Talent and Succession Management framework. Furthermore, the Professional Qualification programme sponsors relevant professional qualification enrollments for employees. SOCIAL VALUE CREATION
