As a property owner and manager, OUE REIT is cognisant of the environmental impact of OUE REIT's operations and has taken an active stance in reducing our energy footprint to address climate change, build climate resilience around OUE REIT's business and to strengthen the Manager's approach in order to create sustainable long-term value for all stakeholders.
OUE REIT's properties in Singapore are certified Green Mark Gold by the Building Construction Authority while Lippo Plaza in Shanghai is LEED (Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design) certified. This translates to 96% of our portfolio by asset value.

Recognising the business risks of climate change, the Manager has taken steps towards integrating the Task Force on Climate-Related Financial Disclosures ("TCFD") recommendations into our sustainability reporting. In 2021, we conducted our first climate-related scenario analysis to identify potential climate-related risks around OUE REIT's operations that have business implications.
The Manager also works closely with the property managers and tenants to improve the energy efficiency of OUE REIT's portfolio to align with Singapore's low carbon emissions strategy, as well as exploring renewable energy options to support the global effort to transform into a net-zero economy. On top of energy efficiency measures, the Manager also focuses on other environmental indicators such as water efficiency and proper waste management measures at OUE REIT's properties, in recognition of the importance of good resource management and resource efficiency to water- and land-scarce Singapore.
Since 2021, the Manager has started rolling out green lease clauses in tenant lease agreements which provide for the management and improvement of the environmental performance of OUE REIT's properties. Tenants are committed to provide relevant environmental data to OUE REIT, as well as to work in partnership with the Manager to reduce the environmental impact of the buildings we own and occupy.
