Developing Better

Climate Change

The Group adopts an integrated approach to building climate resilience by embedding environmental considerations across the entire asset lifecycle, from design and development to construction and operations.

Guided by our Group Environmental Policy, we prioritise resource efficiency and implement structured environmental management systems to measure, monitor and assess our environmental performance.

Following SingLand’s attainment of ISO 14001 certification across its Singapore properties in 2025, the Group has achieved ISO 14001 Environmental Management System (EMS) certification for all our property and hospitality operations in Singapore. As part of our approach to managing environmental impact in development projects, we require all main contractors to maintain ISO 14001 certification, ensuring alignment with recognised environmental and sustainability standards.

The Group has achieved at least a BCA Green Mark Gold rating for all commercial properties in Singapore and targets to attain Green Mark GoldPlus certification for all future redevelopments and new commercial properties in Singapore. As of 2025, six out of eight hospitality properties in Singapore have achieved Green Mark certifications, with ongoing efforts to obtain green building certifications for the remaining Singapore hospitality properties. For our overseas portfolio, we continue to explore and pursue internationally and locally recognised green building certifications. Four of our properties in Australia continued to be rated under the energy and water pillars of the National Australian Built Environment Rating System (NABERS).

As the first hospitality group to attain GSTC multi-site certification across all its properties in Singapore and Australia, PPHG has continued to build on this momentum, extending its certification footprint to all properties in the United Kingdom and Indonesia in 2025. PPHG aims to progressively extend GSTC certification to its remaining overseas hospitality properties. In alignment with GSTC Standards, a comprehensive plan has been developed to drive further progress across PPHG's four key sustainability pillars: sustainability management, environment, people and community, arts, culture and heritage.

Our UOL retail properties incorporate Green Mark requirements within their lease agreements. Tenants are required to comply with relevant authorities’ guidelines on energy consumption and other sustainability initiatives implemented within the buildings. If required, tenants would be requested by UOL and the relevant authorities to review their energy consumption and to ensure adherence to the Green Mark requirements. To better understand their impact on our overall resource consumption, all tenants’ energy and water consumption at our UOL commercial properties, except for some retail kiosks and ATMs, is sub-metered. Our malls organise the annual “Green Movement with U” campaign, which promotes sustainable lifestyles among shoppers to encourage and strengthen tenants’ sustainability practices.

At our hospitality properties, we engage guests in our sustainability efforts, such as programmes for linen reuse and tree-planting for guests. This collaborative approach fosters a shared sense of responsibility for environmental stewardship.

The Group is committed to fostering environmental awareness across the organisation and encouraging our stakeholders to participate actively in our sustainability journey. In 2025, we rolled out our SCOC to set clear expectations for suppliers across key areas, such as human rights, environmental management, and health and safety. Looking ahead, we will further enhance and implement a refined, Group-wide SCOC in 2026 to strengthen consistency, accountability and alignment across our supply chain.

The Group aims to provide stakeholders with accurate, complete and reliable environmental disclosures. Across our Singapore properties, selected data is subject to external limited assurance to enhance the credibility of our reporting. As part of expanding our reporting scope, we have commenced data collection across overseas operations, taking into account varying levels of data availability and maturity across our portfolio. An assurance readiness assessment was conducted to identify gaps, strengthen internal controls and enhance data management processes. We will continue to build on these efforts, progressively improving data quality and governance to meet evolving regulatory requirements.
