We are pleased to present our
inaugural sustainability report. This
report is being published ahead of the
effective date of the new reporting
requirements mandated by SGX, and
demonstrates Starhill Global REIT’s
(SGREIT) emphasis on sustainability
and our ongoing commitment towards
creating a sustainable business model.
Our sponsor, YTL Corporation Berhad
(YTL), promotes sustainable business
practices amongst its businesses and
stakeholders, and continues to search
and implement proactively the pillars
of its sustainability strategy. As a signal
of its commitment towards sustainable
development, YTL pledged its support
for the United Nations’ Sustainable
Development Goals alongside other
global firms, underscoring YTL’s
commitment towards sustainable
development. YTL’s sustainability
framework – Marketplace, Environment,
Our People and Community, serves as
a guidance for the future sustainability
direction and reporting processes
of SGREIT.
The Board recognises that adopting
best practices in the environment,
social and governance (ESG) aspects
of our business are fundamental in
building resilient and sustainable
business operations and performance
for the long term. In formulating its
business strategies, the Board has
considered sustainability issues and
together with the management team,
has determined the material ESG
factors for SGREIT.
As we continue our sustainability
journey, we will progressively add
metrics and targets that are material
to our business and will provide more
insights in our next report.
