ENERGY MANAGEMENT ENERGY-EFFICIENT BUILDING FEATURES We are committed to adopting energy-e cient measures to lower the Group’s carbon emissions throughout our operations and value chain. Tropicana Gardens O ce Tower, the Group’s headquarters, is strategically located within the Tropicana Gardens mixed development in Kota Damansara. This modern o ce building was designed to meet GBI Silver requirements, which include energy-e cient features. This helps us to reduce our energy consumption compared to normal building usage. We also subscribed to an Energy Management System (“EMS”) to monitor any surge in energy usage due to breakdown. Electricity Consumption FY2021 FY2022 FY2023 Mall 14,543 MWh 25,711 MWh 34,302 MWh O ce 2,488 MWh 2,894 MWh 461 MWh TGCR* - - 6,070 MWh TOTAL 17,031 MWH 28,605 MWH 40,833 MWh * First year reporting In the year under review, our electricity consumption for Tropicana has increased due to the inclusion of Tropicana Golf & Country Resort’s (“TGCR”) first-year reporting of electricity usage. The Mall has increased due to improved reporting, which we have included chiller electricity usage in FY2023. Our o ce electricity consumption in FY2023 has decreased significantly due to the exclusion of several floors that are not under our operational control (tenanted floor), which was reported earlier in the FY2021 and FY2022 reporting cycles. We also employed good energy habits around our premises and used energy-e cient light fittings and motion sensors at our staircases and service corridors in our e ort to reduce electricity usage.

Tropicana is unable to control energy usage at residential properties handed over to owners. However, the Group does monitor and manage the electricity consumption of commercial buildings and public facilities in our townships. ENERGY-EFFICIENT INITIATIVES AT OUR WORKPLACE • All our premises and o ces are equipped with energy-e cient LED lighting that consumes 70% less energy • Installation of photocell and motion sensors for lighting • Digital devices i.e. printers auto-set to sleep mode if no usage and after 8 p.m. • Fixed timing and temperature for centralised air conditioning for every floor. Our ambient temperature is set at 24degC (±1 degree Celcius) as the recommended temperature for energy e ciency • Mobilising our Auxiliary Police after working hours to ensure lights are o • Encourage our employees to switch o the lights on their respective floors during lunchtime • Our receptionist will turn o the light and split air-cond after the sta leave the meeting room at our designated meeting room floor 87 TROPICANA SUSTAINABILITY STATEMENT
