SUSTAINABILITY A WHOLE OF ST ENGINEERING EFFORT We recognise the impact of climate change and support initiatives to address it within our operations globally. We adopt a two-pronged approach of doing our part and enabling our customers. We do our part to reduce GHG emissions and adopt environmentally-friendly practices in our business, as well as encourage our employees to inculcate similar habits in their daily lives. We develop products and solutions that will help our customers reduce their carbon footprint in their journey towards net zero. SHAPING OUR CULTURE As part of the Group’s sustainability journey, we believe it is essential to foster an environmentally conscious culture among our employees, which will influence habits in our workplaces and the communities where we reside. We support this by organising various environmental initiatives for our employees, such as tree planting days. Tree Planting Days in Singapore The Group made strides to fulfil our five-year tree planting commitment, in support of Singapore’s ‘City in Nature’ vision. In 2024, over 700 employees committed more than 1,300 hours to plant over 650 trees at multiple locations across Singapore. Employees across various businesses joined hands to plant a microforest at Vidacity by City Sprouts. In the same spirit of environmental conservation and team bonding, employees attended complementary workshops to upcycle plastic and food waste into aesthetic chandeliers, homemade compost and functional eco-enzymes that could be used as household cleaners and fertiliser. Tree Planting Day in Germany Extending our tree planting efforts overseas, our JV company, Elbe Flugzeugwerke (EFW), planted 1,200 trees in the Saxon Switzerland National Park near Dresden, Germany, in partnership with local forest foundation Stiftung Wald. Collectively, the team greened a region that had seriously suffered in recent years due to drought, fires and bark beetle infestation.
