Managing & Developing TalentPILLAR 1: HUMAN CENTRICESR Group LimitedEnvironmental, Social and Governance Report 202426Inclusion, Respect and TeamworkESR values the diverse perspectives and backgrounds of its people. The Group actively engages employees from different business units and offices through group-wide social events that foster team bonding and collaboration. These activities enable employees to strengthen working relationships, improve communication and develop a sense of unity while breaking down silos during the integration of the business. Enhanced communication remains a key focus, with increased internal updates at both Group and business levels to keep employees informed and encourage collaboration. A notable initiative in 2024 was the launch of the ESR Connect email newsletter in June. This monthly update shares key business news, celebrates employee achievements and highlights community support initiatives. It offers employees valuable insights into the organisation, acknowledges the efforts of teams working with customers and capital partners and promotes collaboration by showcasing accomplishments and shared learning points. By recognising successes and sharing knowledge, ESR Connect enhances connections and engagement across the organisation.Collaboration across departments, offices and countries is a cornerstone of ESR%u2019s efforts in 2024. The integration of the LOGOS business is a key driver of this collaboration, supported by social initiatives such as the annual Chinese New Year Lunch and the Tropical Fruits and Durian Fiesta in Singapore. Such events bring employees together, foster teamwork and build a sense of community across the organisation.In 2024, the Group continued to prioritise employee engagement and well-being by focusing on key areas such as leadership, supervision, career development, job satisfaction, teamwork and collaboration, communication, and health and mental well-being. To address these priorities, group and regional action plans were implemented to enhance communication, career development opportunities and collaboration across the organisation. These initiatives aim to strengthen employee connections and foster a unified OneESR culture reflecting the Group%u2019s ongoing commitment to building a more engaging and supportive workplace. The next Group Employee Engagement Survey is scheduled for 2025 and will be conducted annually to track progress and maintain regular feedback from employees.ESR also strengthened employee engagement through our OneESR initiatives. A key highlight was the Employee Townhall held in Singapore, where over 250 colleagues gathered to discuss the organisation%u2019s strategic priorities for 2025. Led by the Group%u2019s CoCEOs and senior leadership, the townhall covered topics such as organisational changes, cost management, technology, branding and employee engagement. It also outlined key priorities including driving profitability, optimising the balance sheet, pursuing operational excellence and fostering collaboration under the OneESR vision. Employees were encouraged to embrace teamwork, effective communication and inclusiveness to create a results-driven and collaborative environment. These townhall sessions, part of a broader series of regional gatherings, play a vital role in promoting alignment across the organisation and reinforcing ESR%u2019s commitment to operating as OneESR %u2014 a unified global platform poised for growth and operational excellence.
