SUSTAINABILITY @ UEM SUNRISE

UEM Sunrise continues to create value and positive impacts for our business and stakeholders as we embrace sustainability in every step of decision-making. As a responsible developer, we have long recognised the need to balance contributions to the environment, society and economy, which are all crucial in preserving our long-term growth.

As such, we are committed to long-term value generation with our developments and continue to design townships that fulfil communities' social, physical and spiritual needs.

We adopt a holistic approach to our sustainability agenda, as guided by the UEM Sunrise Sustainability Blueprint 1.0 (Sustainability Blueprint). The blueprint is anchored on our four pillars for sustainability: Liveability, Affordability, Sustainability and Resilience.

Among the action plans under the Sustainability Blueprint is to improve the sustainability of our design processes via the development of Sustainable Development Design Guidelines (SDDG). The SDDG will be a reference guide for us to comply with when integrating sustainability elements into our design decision. As we are committed to delivering our aspirations under the Sustainability Blueprint, we place high importance on the development of the SDDG.

The SDDG is currently being devised. We plan to seek the Board's consent upon completion and target to distribute it to relevant stakeholders, i.e. our designers and engineers, for them to entrench into their design processes directly contributing to our sustainability movement.

Who We Are

UEM Sunrise is a public-listed company and one of Malaysia's leading property developers. It is the flagship company for the township and property development of UEM Group Berhad (UEM Group) and Khazanah Nasional Berhad (Khazanah).

The Company has core competencies in macro township development, high-rise residential, commercial, retail and integrated developments.

It is the master developer of Iskandar Puteri, Johor, envisioned to become one of the largest fully integrated urban development in Southeast Asia. UEM Sunrise is also renowned as the pioneer award- winning developer of Mont'Kiara, an upmarket and affluent neighbourhood in Kuala Lumpur and has continued its success in numerous other areas in the Greater Klang Valley. The Company has since extended its mark internationally with acclaimed development projects in Singapore, Australia, Canada and South Africa.

Mont'Kiara

UEM Sunrise's brand essence comes from the belief that everyone has a right to happiness. Therefore, the Company will continue to create opportunities for others to find their happiness conscientiously, guided by the ethos and tagline "Find Your Happy" and driven by the core values of CHIEF (Caring, Honest, Involved, Enthusiastic, and Fun-loving) to inspire joy and happiness in one space at a time.

UEM Sunrise brings together the talented and skilled, the imaginative and the courageous. We create sustainable environments loved by homeowners, acclaimed by investors and recognised by the industry. We believe in thinking big and acting quickly to unlock potential; to thrive in a changing world.

We are CHIEF Happiness Officers; our values inspire us to create excitement and bring joyful experiences to all.

Caring

We care about others as much as doing good work. We take pride in what we do and have the desire to do the best we can consistently while conscientiously finding ways to improve. We find joy in the work we do, the people we do it with and the environment we create to do it in. We care for people, the places we create, and our planet.

Honest

This interest we have in inspiring others in their quest for happiness must come from a place of honesty. Through honesty with an intent to build, we create trust. This becomes the foundation from which our business is built on and prospers. We are here to inspire and help others find their happy through the environment we create, the products we offer, the services we provide and the initiatives we do - one space at a time.

Involved

We are actively involved in supporting our customers and stakeholders on their Find your Happy journey regardless of whether it is a masterplan we are developing, a residential tower we are building, a commercial centre we are constructing, a space we are creating or a child whose education we are helping. When we are actively involved and genuinely interested, we will always find ways to help inspire hopefulness in our customers', stakeholders' and colleagues' Find your Happy journey.

Enthusiastic

We remain optimistic and enthusiastic on the outcome and effect our efforts are contributing to the lives of all the people we touch in their Find Your Happy journey. With this enthusiasm, positivity and belief comes a confidence borne out of a principled approach.

Fun-loving

As all our ideas, creativity and decisions are made to positively impact others, we find this journey both fulfilling and enjoyable. We seek and generate ways to find the fun, excitement and happiness in everything we do, as much as we can.
