GROUP CHIEF EXECUTIVE STATEMENTDear StakeholdersIn 2019, the call for climate change action became even more urgent as the world witnessed significantextreme weather, rising sea levels and melting of polar ice caps. Singapore, as a low-lying island state,is very vulnerable to the effects of global warming. Our government had also pledged to do its part tomitigate climate change together with the international community at the United Nations ClimateAction Summit last year.At UOL, we are in the business of creating inclusive and green spaces that enhances the liveabilityand sustainability of Singapore. We take actions to mitigate the effects of climate change throughadvocating green architecture, adopting innovative construction technologies and embracing digitaltransformation, to reduce our impact on the environment, protect communities, and enhance resiliencyof the real estate industry.Our theme for this report is “Together for the Future”. It envisions every Singaporean and every nationcoming together to make conscious decisions and efforts to lower our carbon footprint.BUILDING A RESILIENT CITYAs a developer, UOL also plays a key role in rejuvenating the cityscape. Avenue South Residence, a56-storey development, sits on the doorstep of the Greater Southern Waterfront, which the governmentplans to be a seamless extension of the city and will open up new live-work-play opportunities.The development incorporates both greenery – with the preservation of mature trees along itsboundary of the Rail Corridor, as well as heritage – with the retrofitting of conserved four-storey flatsfrom the early days of public housing in Singapore. Avenue South Residence is our second project thatdeploys the prefabricated prefinished volumetric construction (PPVC) method, which helps minimisingthe impact of construction to the environment while increasing productivity and maintaining worksafety. Upon completion, the development will be the world’s tallest residential project that adopts thePPVC method.In line with Singapore’s “Year Towards Zero Waste” in 2019, UOL is committed to waste reductionthrough our operations. For our hospitality business, we are transforming Pan Pacific Orchard into thefirst zero-waste hotel in Singapore comprising 347 rooms along the Orchard Road shopping belt whenit is targeted to open in 2021. Designed to include self-sustaining landscapes that rely minimally onenergy and water resources, the iconic hotel will have low carbon footprint and be resource efficient,a testament that good design can also be good for the environment.SUSTAINABILITY PERFORMANCE IN 2019As our commercial properties and hospitality business had achieved some of our 2020 environmentaltargets in 2018, we set new long-term goals in 2019 for the year 2030.During the year, our commercial properties achieved a 17.7% reduction in energy intensity by GFAoccupied and a 14.9% reduction in water intensity by GFA occupied, compared with the base year of2010. We aim to achieve a 25% reduction of energy intensity by GFA occupied and a 25% reduction ofwater intensity by GFA occupied by 2030, compared with the base year of 2010.As most of our development projects are in their piling and structural construction stages, wherediesel generators are the main source of energy, we recorded an increase of 39.3% in GHG emissionsintensity by value of work completed and an increase of 4.8% in water intensity by value of workcompleted year-on-year.We maintained a good safety record in 2019, with an accident frequency rate of 0.5, a decreasefrom 2018. We continue to strive for zero incidents at our workplaces, maintaining high standards ofoccupational health and safety standards across all development projects.COMMITMENT TO STAKEHOLDERSStakeholder feedback is important to us when we develop our sustainability approach and initiatives,as we can better prioritise activities among the material issues critical to us. During the year, weconducted a stakeholder engagement exercise and the outcome showed that we are aligned with ourstakeholders in our sustainability efforts.TOGETHER FOR THE FUTUREThis year, the world is facing another extraordinary challenge posed by the COVID-19 outbreak thathas taken a severe toll on the global economy. It has even changed the way we live, work and socialise.In Australia, Pan Pacific Perth stepped forward and opened up its rooms to homeless people to protectthem during this health crisis. Closer to home, PARKROYAL on Kitchener Road and PARKROYAL onBeach Road provided temporary accommodation for Malaysian workers who were affected by thelockdown in Malaysia, while Pan Pacific Singapore and PARKROYAL COLLECTION Pickering servedas dedicated facilities for returning residents to serve their stay-home notices. UOL is committed toplaying our part.As we navigate this challenging period, the sustainability fundamentals have become even moreimportant. I have confidence in the resilience of the Group to weather through this crisis togetherwith our employees, business partners, customers and communities, for our future. We look forwardto your continuous support as we strive to build a better and sustainable future together.LIAM WEE SINGroup Chief ExecutiveMay 202012U O L S U S TA IN A BIL I T Y R E P O R T 2 0 1 9U O L S U S TA IN A BIL I T Y R E P O R T 2 0 1 911Our hospitality business achieved a 26.5% reduction in energy intensity by guest night and a 24.
