Energy and Climate Change
Buildings contribute up to 32% of global energy use and 34% of global emissions, driving significant environmental impact including climate change. At the same time, they are vulnerable to rising physical hazards and climate transition risks that undermine investment returns by eroding asset values and increasing operational costs. As a real estate developer, owner and manager, Mapletree strives to build a climate-resilient portfolio to mitigate the Group’s environmental footprint, as well as protect its long-term financial performance and stakeholder value.

Water Management
A 2026 United Nations report has warned that the world has moved beyond a water crisis into a state of global water bankruptcy, underscoring the urgency of responsible water management. As buildings consume significant volumes of water during construction and daily operations, Mapletree recognises that effective water management as essential to safeguarding asset value, reducing operating costs and enhancing resilience against supply disruptions. By embedding responsible water practices across its portfolio and business activities, the Group contribute meaningfully to sustainable growth while securing long-term competitiveness in a resource-constrained future.

Ethical business Conduct
Update intro text and key highlights:
Corrupt practices and related risks erode transparency, equity and ethical behaviour. They restrict access to opportunities for qualified individuals, hinder economic development and pose risks to the long-term environmental and social sustainability of communities. Such practices may also expose a company to significant legal and financial consequences, adversely affecting operations and reputation and potentially placing its licence to operate at risk. Strong governance arrangements are therefore essential to mitigate these risks and reinforce stakeholder confidence.

Cybersecurity and Data Privacy
Digitalisation and technology are increasingly vital to Mapletree’s business growth and operations, including the management of sensitive employee, tenant and financial information. This data is exposed a growing range of cyber threats, which could result in financial losses, reputational damage, legal implications and operational disruptions if compromised. Robust security measures are therefore critical for safeguarding information, protecting personal privacy and maintaining stakeholder confidence
