Sustainable Development Policy GRI Our Sustainable Development Policy (“SD Policy”) was first published in 2008 and has guided the 2-23, 2-24 Company’s operations since then. The Policy is reviewed periodically and was last updated in 2021. The SD Policy reflects our belief that long-term value creation depends on the sustainable development of our business, our supply chain and the communities in which we operate. These factors are continuously considered during the inception, design, construction, occupation and demolition phases of our development projects. The SD Policy explicitly states that the Company will be a good steward of the natural resources and biodiversity within our influence and that we will ensure that all potentially adverse impacts of our operations are identified and managed appropriately. With respect to the environment, our approach follows the precautionary principle1 which states, “Where there are threats of serious or irreversible damage, lack of full scientific certainty shall not be used as a reason for postponing cost-effective measures to prevent environmental degradation”. We strive to operate in a manner that protects the health and safety of all of the people with whom we work. We also strive to be an employer of choice by providing a working environment in which all employees are treated fairly and with respect in order that they realise their full potential. 1 The precautionary approach is referred to in Principle 15 of The Rio Declaration on Environment and Development.
