46 Environmental, Social and Governance Report 2023 PILLAR 2: PROPERTY PORTFOLIO Pillars Focus Area Targets/Strategy Status Green building certification Achieve USGBC’s LEED Gold certification or local equivalent for all developments — Ongoing developments are on track to achieve LEED Gold certification. Completed the LEED gap analysis for all projects and captured all design and construction features required since the early development phase. — In addition to LEED Gold, Bupyeong Data Centre is also targeting local G-SEED certification. Operational Efficiency Energy efficiency — Make use of the locally conducive climate to incorporate low-carbon solutions — Set annualised PUE target of 1.35 or better — Bupyeong Data Centre (DC) will enjoy free cooling energy with the use of an air-side economiser. — Designed and selected best-in-class, energy-efficient system equipment to achieve the PUE target. — Actively exploring opportunities for waste heat reuse. Water efficiency Adopt water-efficient technologies and monitor WUE during operation — Use of an air-cooled chiller plant system for areas with water stress such as for Keihana DC. — Use of a closed-circuit cooling tower for Bupyeong DC that reduces water losses through evaporation. Smart building management Incorporate building management systems and smart solutions — Sufficient water and power metres installed to optimise and control environmental performance. Renewable energy On-site renewable energy Maximise on-site renewable energy — More than 100 kWp of building-integrated photovoltaics (“BIPV”) will be installed on the facade of Bupyeong DC. — Maximise rooftop solar for other developments that are under design and construction. Renewable energy procurement 75% renewable energy by 2030, 100% renewable energy by 2040 — Collaborated with a renewable energy market expert to analyse the markets and successfully created a renewable energy roadmap for our business. — Currently actively exploring renewable energy power purchase agreement (PPA) opportunities from both our rooftops and other high-quality renewable energy projects. Human Centric Safety, Health & Well-being Zero fatalities — The Data Centre team completed more than 250,000 manhours across all projects without recordable incidents. Safety, Health & Well-being To achieve ISO 9001, ISO 14001 and ISO 45001 certification — Achieved the ISO 45001 Occupational Health and Safety Management System certification. The achievement of the certificate will help to continuously ensure the management of the OH&S risks and improve the OH&S performance by developing and implementing effective policies and objectives. Together with the ISO 45001 certification, the Data Centre team has also received certification for ISO 14001 Environment Management System and ISO 9001 Quality management System.
