Sustainability at UEM Sunrise

At UEM Sunrise, sustainability is a strategic imperative, shaping how we operate in delivering sustainable townships, creating thoughtful spaces and fostering thriving communities.

 

With this in mind, we integrate sustainability into every aspect of our work, from high-level planning to on-the-ground implementation.

Our Approach: UEM Sunrise Sustainability Blueprint

The Sustainability Blueprint 2.0 is our strategic framework to deliver on our sustainability commitments and strategic goals. It guides our transition towards a low-carbon future by 2030.

The Blueprint is anchored on four key pillars: Planet, People, Governance and Communities, each supported by specific enablers that drive sustainable outcomes across our operations.

Advancing Our Decarbonisation Journey

In March 2025, we restated our Greenhouse Gas (GHG) Emissions Inventory for 2023 (re-baselined) and 2024, as disclosed in the UEM Sunrise Integrated Annual Report 2024. By establishing accurate and up-to-date baselines, we are poised to drive initiatives, targeting 20% reduction by 2030, and to achieve carbon neutrality by 2050.

Our Sustainability governance framework ensures that sustainability is embedded across every level of our business.

Guided by key statutory provisions, best practices, policies and guidelines, our Board of Directors is responsible for setting and overseeing our overall sustainability agenda. Supporting this, the Board Governance & Risk Committee (BGRC) works closely with Executive Committee (EXCO) to establish priorities, set targets and oversee sustainability governance and anti-corruption compliance.
