The Board of Directors (the Board) holds ultimate responsibility for governing sustainability matters, including climate-related risks and opportunities, as well as KIT's sustainability strategy, policies, processes and initiatives. The Board, supported by the Board ESG Committee (BEC), oversees the development and monitoring of KIT's ESG strategy and performance. All Board members have undergone the sustainability training mandated by the Singapore Exchange (SGX). From time to time and where relevant, the Board is notified of courses, training sessions and events relating to climate-related risks and opportunities, and receives briefings from external consultants on ESG matters. During the Nomination and Remuneration Committee's (NRC's) process to appoint new Directors and succession planning for the Board, the NRC evaluates the skills and competencies required of the Board collectively to address climate-related risks and opportunities. [...] As part of its strategic oversight, the Board has reviewed, considered and approved KIT's material ESG factors. The Board incorporates consideration of these factors, alongside other sustainability matters, into its strategy formulation and business decisions. The Board will continue to oversee the management and monitoring of KIT's ESG factors periodically. Whilst the Board holds ultimate responsibility for the governance of sustainability, direct management is delegated to the Board ESG Committee and Sustainability Committee. [...] The Board ESG Committee (BEC) monitors and evaluates the effectiveness of KIT's ESG strategy, policies and initiatives to ensure long-term value creation, making recommendations to the Board where necessary. The BEC approves the establishment of and tracks progress towards the Trustee-Manager's ESG targets, including climate-related targets, through regular updates on performance. To encourage a collaborative and transparent approach, CEOs, Heads of Safety, and ESG and Safety Champions from KIT's assets attend BEC meetings. [...] The Sustainability Committee implements the Trustee-Manager's ESG strategy and initiatives. Comprising senior management and staff from various departments, the committee reviews KIT's performance against material ESG factors on a regular basis and updates the BEC accordingly. In line with KIT's commitment of ensuring appropriate accountability for sustainability is integrated throughout the business, ESG-related performance metrics are incorporated as part of the corporate scorecard. Climate reporting and Scope 3 emissions disclosure are components included in the ESG targets. In total, corporate social responsibility and ESG (combined) targets constitute about 5% of the overall corporate scorecard.
