164 STRATEGICALLY ADVANCING SUSTAINABILITY REPORT 2024 Performance: Community Engagement Efforts Activity highlights Environmental protection through small actions Beach clean-up ESR-REIT employees spent a day with volunteers from the Kembangan-Chai Chee Community Club and PassionWave for a beach cleanup at East Coast Park. Together, we removed waste from the beach and surrounding waters. The clean-up was followed by a team lunch, where participants shared their experiences and discussed the importance of raising awareness on responsible waste disposal and marine pollution. One Million Tree Movement ESR-REIT also contributed to the East Coast group representation constituency’s (“GRC”) One Million Tree Movement. Our CEO, Mr. Adrian Chui, planted a tree on behalf of the organisation as a symbol of our commitment to improving our urban environment and enhancing our resilience towards climate change. Contributing to the community ESR-REIT Kidzcare Tuition Centre Since 2019, the Manager has collaborated with Kidzcare@Kembangan-Chai Chee, an initiative to provide underprivileged primary school students with safe and conducive space to learn. The Manager provides three air-conditioned units at ESR BizPark @ Chai Chee for tuition lessons to be conducted and provides certified tutors for the programme. Enrichment Lessons This year we launched a pilot programme to provide nonacademic enrichment lessons for the youths of Kembangan Chai Chee in the form of guitar and art lessons to supplement the ongoing ESR-REIT Kidzcare Tuition Centre initiative, for a more holistic approach to youth development. We collaborated with our tenants, The Music Works and Artlette Art Studio to provide art and music lessons. This marks a significant milestone in our CSR journey as we increasingly seek to involve our stakeholders (tenants and community partner Kembangan-Chai Chee) in our CSR initiatives to make meaningful impact within our community. Laptop Donation Recognising the growing importance of digital tools in modern education, especially in the wake of the global shift to online learning, ESR-REIT donated 10 refurbished laptops to underprivileged students to support their education journey and enable access to online learning resources.
