CapitaLand Ascendas REIT - Sustainability Report 2025

Climate Resilience (Adaptation and Mitigation) CLAR’s Impact CLAR understands the substantial environmental footprint associated with real estate assets and is committed to playing an active role in global climate action. By prioritising energyefficient assets and employing sustainable building practices, CLAR aims to curtail energy use, lower operational expenses, and elevate the environmental performance of its portfolio. How CLAR Manages its Impact CLAR manages its impact through a balanced approach of adaptation and mitigation efforts to strengthen its portfolio’s resilience. CLAR adapts to climate change by identifying, assessing and managing climate-related risks and opportunities and mitigates environmental footprint through initiatives such as deployment of innovative solutions and technologies that enhance energy efficiency and increase the use of renewable energy. Low Consumption Design Chillers in one of the halls at The Chess Building, UK were replaced with free coolingcapable chillers, which utilises ambient air when sufficiently cold to assist or replace mechanical cooling for data centre operations. Avoid On-site Renewables 2x100 kWp rooftop solar installations were completed at two sites in Australia. Green Power Procurement Co-location data centres in the UK/EU were 100% powered by renewable electricity. Renewable Energy Certificates (RECs) Renewable energy was generated by solar panels installed at CLAR’s properties in Singapore, and associated RECs were retired against landlord's electricity consumption. Replace Carbon Offsets Carbon offsets will be deployed as a last resort for hard-to-abate emissions after other carbon reduction measures have been explored. Stringent quality control and effective project governance are essential for the environmental integrity of this approach. Compensate Control, Metering and Monitoring As of FY 2025, smart meters were installed at 30 logistics properties in the UK to support and automate data collection and monitoring processes for tenants' energy consumption. Reduce High Energy Efficiency Air-conditioning optimisation was carried out at 10 properties in Singapore focused on fine-tuning of Air Handling Units (AHU) and chiller plant systems to reduce energy use.
