ON TRACK TO ACHIEVING FUTURE VALUE 2030 GOALS AND ANNUAL TARGETS
The CDL Future Value 2030 Sustainability Blueprint, established in 2017, outlines our ESG goals, including near and long-term net-zero targets in line with the SBTi. Our key 2030 and interim annual goals, targets and progress are tracked and reported quarterly and annually. All target years are fiscal year-end. All reporting data is through fiscal year 2023 (31 December 2023), unless otherwise stated. The scope of the Company’s operations in the Future Value 2030 table below covers corporate office, managed buildings and construction sites in Singapore, and exclude hotel properties, unless otherwise stated.

1 | The 2030 targets and interim 2023 annual targets were reviewed in Q2 2023 and reflected in the table above |
2 | Calculated based on % of total gross floor area (aligned with BCA’s calculation of green buildings) |
3 | There has been a change in emission factor applied between 2016 and 2023. The reduction value would be 25% when calculated on a comparable basis |
4 | Intensity figures were calculated based on per unit net lettable floor area |
5 | Reduction value includes the RECs purchased and retired for the respective year, for year 2023, RECs retired contribute to ~2.6% reduction |
6 | Water use and waste intensities include water use and waste disposed by the CDL Corporate Office |
7 | Waste intensity figures are for non-recyclable waste |
8 | 2023 experienced higher traffic that resulted in a higher cooling load |
9 | For the Company’s managed construction projects that obtained TOP status for the reporting year. The projects are, Piermont Grand, Haus on Handy, Boulevard 88 / The Singapore EDITION and Amber Park. As of 2023, project targets set for energy/water/waste will be applied to projects commencing in that specified year and measured to whether the targets are met at their point of TOP |
10 | For energy use intensity, the targets were not met for Piermont Grand, Haus on Handy and Boulevard 88 / The Singapore EDITION namely due to the prolonged construction process caused by COVID-19. Projects’ performances are measured against their specific targets set at the point of commencement of the construction |
11 | For water use intensity, the targets were not met for Haus on Handy and Boulevard 88 / The Singapore EDITION namely due to the prolonged construction process caused by COVID-19. Projects’ performances are measured against their specific targets set at the point of commencement of the construction |
12 | For waste intensity, the targets were not met for Boulevard 88 / The Singapore EDITION due to a higher waste generation from interior design materials associated with a mixed development project that includes a Hotel. Projects’ performances are measured against their specific targets set at the point of commencement of the construction |
13 | These refer to vendors engaged for proprietary equipment service and maintenance, facility management, security and cleaning service appointed by Asset Management, and main contractors and key consultants (architects, civil and structural engineers, mechanical and electrical engineers) appointed by Property Development |
14 | Investment refers to the Group’s six key subsidiaries: CBM Pte Ltd, CDL Hospitality Trusts (considered an associate of the Group from 2023 onwards), City Serviced Offices, Le Grove Serviced Residences, Tower Club Singapore, hotels owned and managed by M&C |
15 | The calculation is based on the best available information on emission factors for building materials and industry accepted approaches at the point of reporting. These changes could have also contributed to this reduction |
16 | There have been changes in our investment portfolio as well as emission factors applied between 2016 and 2023. The reduction would be 58.7% when calculated on a comparable basis |
17 | There was one reported fatality case that occurred during demolition phase at Newport Plaza construction site in Q2 2023. Investigation is still ongoing by MOM. Site specific corrective action had been implemented on site and reviewed based on preliminary investigation reports |
18 | Major and Minor IR refer to the number of major and minor workplace injuries per 100,000 persons employed, respectively. For the definition of Major and Minor IR, please refer to the Ministry of Manpower’s website |
19 | The 2030 goals for minor injury rates were adjusted to take into account the revised definition of minor injuries by Ministry of Manpower |
20 | Minor injury rate for construction sites in 2022 was restated to accurately account for the number of lost-time injury |
