Diversity

We recognise diversity's importance in enhancing decision-making, risk awareness, and adaptability. While valuing equal opportunities for all, regardless of age, gender, nationality and ethnicity, we prioritise hiring based on skills and growth potential throughout the group. Our approach is merit-based, without specific diversity targets, focusing more on capabilities.

The non-Malaysian workers in our employment are, directly employed as construction workers, and crucial in delivering our business.

Below are tables outlining the age, gender and nationality across our direct hires, by employee category.

1. The data above covers BCB’s Batu Pahat, Kluang and Kota Kemuning development operations, Umall, Prime City Hotel and Elysia Park Residence Sales Gallery.

Energy Management

We recognise the ongoing trend of rising energy costs in the foreseeable future, attributed to the Malaysian government's measures to increment non-domestic electricity tariffs and curtail fuel subsidies. These actions, driven by the government's commitment to achieving net zero emissions and reducing fiscal deficits, causing an increase in our operating costs and at the same time resulted to a growing preference among tenants for low-energy-cost solutions, especially during the property selection process.

Additionally, we understand that this shift will likely increase tenants' concerns regarding a company's stance and actions on sustainable energy practices. Further discussion on Sustainable Design/Green Building topic can be found in this Sustainability Statement.

In FYE 2024, the Group’s total energy consumption was 14,385 GJ and the breakdown is as following:

Total of Energy Consumption	FYE 2024	FYE 2023	FYE 2022
Purchased Electricity (GJ)	8,654	6,872	4,075
Fuel Consumption - Gen Set (GJ)	5,731	1,686	1,341
Fuel Consumption - Transportation (GJ)
Total (GJ)	14,385	8,558	8,558
Total (MWh)	3,996	2,376	1,505

1. The energy conversion factor used for fuel litre consumption is derived from the UK Government GHG Conversion Factors for Company Reporting 2024, 2023, and 2022, based on petrol/diesel which is 100% mineral oil.

2. This covers diesel and petrol used in company-owned vehicles.

3. The data for purchased electricity above includes BCB’s Elysia Park Residence sales gallery, Versis @ Batu Pahat office, Hometree, show units, sales gallery and office, Kluang office, Prime City Hotel, and Kluang, Batu Pahat, and Kota Kemuning constructions sites.

4. The data above excludes BCB’s U-Mall and unsold property units under the Group.

5. Conversion factor for energy consumption of 0.2778 (GJ to MWh) in MWh is derived from UK Government GHG Conversion Factors for Company Reporting.

Emissions

We have not yet established an emission management framework or roadmap. Nevertheless, in meeting compliance requirements, we have begun to collate not only Scope 1 and Scope 2 emissions but also Scope 3 emissions. Currently, our Scope 3 emissions data is limited to business travel from mileage claims and employee commuting using their private vehicles in connection with their employment at BCB. We will review our current practices and approach to emission management in response to any changes in the regulatory environment.

Emission Type	FYE 2024 (tCO2e)	FYE 2023 (tCO2e)	FYE 2022 (tCO2e)
Direct GHG Emission (Scope 1)	391	118	94
Indirect GHG Emission (Scope 2)	1,406	1,117	662
Scope 3 (Employee Commuting and Business Travel)	348	N/A	N/A
Total GHG Emissions	2,145	1,235	756

1. Scope 1 Emissions are direct greenhouse gas (“GHG”) emissions that occur from sources that are owned or controlled by the Group. The emission Conversion factor for Scope 1 is derived from the UK Government GHG Conversion Factors for Company Reporting 2024, 2023, and 2022, based on petrol/diesel which are 100% mineral oil. For 2024, the conversion factor is 2.66 for 100% mineral diesel and 2.35 for 100% mineral petrol.

2. Scope 2 emissions are indirect GHG emissions arising from the generation of purchased electricity consumed by the Group. The Emission Conversion factor for Scope 2 is derived from the CDM Electricity Baseline for 2017 by Malaysian Green Technology Corporation, using Combined Margin (C.M) emission factor, which is 0.585 tCO₂e/MWh

3. We have only begun tracking Scope 3 (employee commuting and business travel) for the reporting year. We have identified opportunities for enhancement in both our communication and data collection practices.

4. For employee commuting, emissions are obtained based on employees’ estimate of fuel consumption by way of survey. A total of 129 employees participated in this survey.

5. For business travel, distance travelled is estimated from total mileage claims and BCB’s mileage claim policy. Subsequently, we estimated the emissions using an average petrol car size emissions factor of 0.0001645 tCO₂e/KM from UK Government GHG Conversion Factors for Company Reporting 2024. We excluded emissions from any overnight stays and any form of other travel.

Water Management

We recognise the significant impact of water scarcity, including disruptions from shortages, extended dry periods, and pollution. Water is a crucial resource for our daily operations and property maintenance. To address these challenges, we are actively working with our contractors and suppliers to evaluate the situation and develop strategies to mitigate water disruptions.

The following is a summary of the total waste generated by our Group, which consists of waste diverted from disposal and directed to disposal.

FYE	Total Water Consumption (Megalitres/ MI)
2024	69
2023	65

1. The data above covers Elysia Park Residence sales gallery, Versis @ Batu Pahat office, HomeTree show units, sales gallery and office, Kluang office, Prime City Hotel, and BCB’s Kluang, Batu Pahat, and Kota Kemuning constructions sites.

Water Efficiency

As part of our water efficiency initiatives, we have several measures in place. This includes the Rainwater Collection and Utilisation Systems (SPAH) in numerous residential projects, where stored water is utilised for irrigation and landscaping purposes, thereby reducing our water consumption in the long run. Furthermore, dual-flush sanitary systems are installed in newer projects to minimise water wastage among customers, potentially resulting in lower water bill charges for them.

Reducing water pollution

BCB recognises that our construction activities may pollute project area waterways. To prevent drainage blockages, flooding, and ecosystem damage downstream, we ensure to remove and treat wastewater before discharging it.

Waste Management

In FYE 2024, the group generated a total of 369.78 tonnes of waste. We have observed an increase in the amount of waste directed to disposal. This increase is attributed to the expansion of our business operations, which has resulted in a higher volume of waste being produced.

The following is a summary of the total waste generated by our Group, which consists of waste diverted from disposal and directed to disposal.

Category	FYE 2024	FYE 2023	FYE 2022

Assurance Statement

Information in this statement has not been assured by our internal audit function or any other independent assurance provider. The Board through management, will continuously review the need to obtain limited assurance on information disclosed in future disclosures.

Materiality Assessment

Our sustainability strategic planning processes are guided by the concept of materiality. Identifying, comprehending, and concentrating on EES issues that hold relevance for our business and industry, particularly those that significantly influence the assessments and decisions of our stakeholders, is vital to prevent significant repercussions for our organisation as a whole.

In our materiality assessment exercise, which will undergo review and enhancement in the subsequent years, we followed these steps:

Peer Review	Consolidated issues based on reports from local peers. Local peers were selected based on their business and operational similarities to our companies and overlapping stakeholders.
Standards & Frameworks	Industry standards from global frameworks (GRI Standards) and Bursa Malaysia's reporting framework have been used to identify materiality sustainable matters. Input from management based on key risks identified through company's risk management framework.
Stakeholder Engagement	Engaged with management to obtain insights on selection and prioritisation of the material topics. We relied on insights obtained by management via continuous stakeholder engagement performed by management in the course of our business.
Materiality Assessment Prioritisation	Tabulated the results from the stakeholder engagement into a materiality matrix. Adoption of Bursa's common sustainable materiality matters as our material topic.
Validation	Presented the materiality matrix to the Board of Directors for discussion and endorsement.

The following table summarises stakeholder engagement performed by management in the course of delivering our business value proposition throughout the reporting year.

We uphold quality standards by following construction guidelines like the Quality Assessment System in Construction (“QLASSIC”) mandated by the Construction Industry Development Board (“CIDB”).

For more details about our business strategy and performance, please refer to the Management Discussion and Analysis section of the Annual Report.

Anti-Corruption

We are fully aware of the formidable challenges posed by corruption risk, especially given the industry in which we operate. In light of this, and in line with requirements under Chapter 15.29 of the Bursa Malaysia Main Market Listing Rules (“MMLR”), we continue to maintain policies and procedures on anti-corruption and whistleblowing that are, at a minimum, guided by the Guidelines on Adequate Procedures issued pursuant to section 17A (5) of the Malaysian Anti-Corruption Commission Act 2009.

This includes maintaining our corruption risk assessment through an annual review. The anti-bribery and corruption risk has been included in our risk registers, with risk owners from all divisions. Our risk assessment covers inbound bribery, outbound bribery, fraud, conflicts of interest, and vicarious corporate liability arising from non-compliance by our vendors and agents.

	FYE 2024 (%)
Percentage of operation assessed on corruption risk	100

To ensure ongoing adherence to our anti-bribery and anti-corruption policies, we provide training for all employees at planned intervals.

We maintain effective communication and awareness through compliance monitoring, feedback sessions, discussions with top management, and employee emails.

The following table shows that all our employees have received training on anti-corruption.

During the reporting period, we are pleased to announce that no instances of corruption were identified or reported among our employees or business partners with respect to their employment with us.

Number of confirmed incidents for FYE 2024, 2023 and 2022	None Reported

Health, Safety and Security

We are committed to ensuring the health and safety of our employees, subcontractors, tenants, and the general public in relation to our property management and development business.

As a player in construction and property management, we adhere to the principal health and safety legislation in Malaysia, the Occupational Safety and Health Act 1994 (OSHA), including the latest amendments effective since June 2024.

In line with this, we have established policies and procedures, driven by health and safety risk assessments which we continuously review. Review and compliance monitoring of our health and safety risks are performed by health and safety officers or coordinators, in line with the requirements of OSHA. Where we rely on our vendors or contractors/sub-contractors, we ensure the same through clear communications and monitoring.  We are cognisant of the heightened corruption risk, as a result of non-compliance to relevant regulations in this particular area, therefore have linked this to our anti-corruption risk assessment and monitoring.

During this reporting year, we had no work-related fatalities at our premises and sites, and our Loss Time Incident Rate (LTIR) amongst our own employees and our sub-contractors are as follows:

		FYE 2024	FYE 2023	FYE 2022
No. of work-related fatalities	Employees	Nil	Nil	Nil

1. Loss time incident rate refers to the loss of productivity associated with accidents or injuries arising out of or in the course of work.

2. The data above covers BCB’s Batu Pahat, Kluang, and Kota Kemuning construction operations.

For the commercial properties we own and manage, we maintain a comprehensive facilities management program to ensure the safety and security of occupants, visitors, and assets. This includes installing surveillance systems, performing regular maintenance checks, and implementing emergency response plans.

We provide training for our employees on health and safety standards, aimed at addressing skill gaps and improving capabilities. In FYE 2024, 16 employees participated in these training sessions.

Sustainable Design & Green Building

A holistic approach to sustainable design and green building integrates environmental, social, and economic considerations to minimise environmental impact while maximising benefits for our customers.

This involves prioritising energy efficiency through smart design and passive technologies, conserving resources with sustainable materials, and enhancing indoor environmental quality to promote customers’ health and well-being. Additionally, it includes thoughtful site selection and urban planning for walkable communities and climate resilience.

We recognise the importance of these practices in enhancing our property competitiveness together with the escalating demand for safe and eco-friendly spaces for our customers. Moreover, sustainable design strategies such as energy efficiency and thoughtful urban planning not only lead to long-term cost savings for customers, particularly with the continuous rise in energy costs but also enhance the mobility of our customers.

In this regard, we are excited to announce the launch of Lumina Commercial Park, Iskandar Puteri, a new commercial development by Iskandar Seafront Assets and BCB Berhad, officially opened in 2024. This development spans 35 acres not only features modern design and eco-friendly practices but also across Laksamana Park, a pet-friendly green space honoring Tunku Laksamana Johor.

Phase 1 covers 10 acres and features 75 retails units. Its unique features- double-frontage shops, double-volume ceilings, and dual-ground levels- promote sustainable design by maximizing natural light, improving ventilation, and enhancing accessibility. These elements encourage walkability, reduce reliance on artificial lighting and air conditioning, contributing to energy efficiency and a healthier environment.

Lumina Commercial Park aims to be a vibrant commercial hub that embraces both innovation and community green spaces.

Moving forward, we will continue to explore ways to incorporate sustainable design and passive elements into our future projects and existing buildings to better address our customers' needs.

Community Investment

We strive to make a positive contribution to the society in which we operate through our Corporate Social Responsibility (“CSR”) programs and various initiatives. The impact of our community investment is summarised below.

	FYE 2024	FYE 2023	FYE 2022
Total amount invested in the community where the target beneficiaries are external (RM’000)	166	283	251
Total number of beneficiaries of the investment in communities	11,724	N/A	N/A

1. The number of beneficiaries is based on the best estimate provided by the beneficiary organisation.

During the reporting period, we have contributed a total of RM166,000 to the community. A few of the noteworthy contributions are as follows.

In July 2023, Yayasan Kanser Tunku Laksamana Johor (TLJCF) organised a charity dinner, ‘Lights of Hope,’ to raise funds for cancer fighters in need. The support provided included medicines, special needs milk, general and surgical equipment, living expenses, and transportation to hospitals and for scan tests. BCB sponsored RM10,000 to the fund committee to help raise funds.

In May 2024, we donated RM 30,000 to Bandar Penggaram Associated Chinese Schools for Tiger Sin Chew Chinese Education Charity Performance. The funds will support students by alleviating financial burdens and encouraging academic excellence.

Supply Chain Management 

To ensure a steady supply and support the Malaysian economy, while concurrently reduce transportation emissions, we consistently prioritise local suppliers, provided they meet our standards for price, quality, performance, and ethics. As a result, 100% of our supplies for the reporting year were sourced locally.

We consistently review the performance of our vendors and communicate areas where they can improve. We consider ourselves as their business partners, acknowledging the mutual dependence between us and our vendors.

Supplier assessment (environmental and social)

Recognising our responsibility for both our practices and the conduct of our suppliers, we engage in ongoing communication with our vendors regarding their environmental and social practices. This includes addressing issues such as forced labour, minimum wages, health and safety, and environmental management – in order to ensure continuous compliance with local law.
