Overview Economy Community People Environment Governance & Risk Disclosure GRI & ADX Reflecting on this year’s progress, we know there are still many opportunities to be identified and built on, in order to achieve our longer-term goals. Salwa — 2020 was a transformational year for Aldar. What opportunities have arisen and how will it impact Aldar’s strategic approach? Greg — During 2020, Aldar leveraged its strong strategic and business focus, agility and culture of collaboration to deliver a robust financial performance whilst putting in place the foundations for the next phase of our growth, including significant investments in the long-term sustainability of our business. Seizing the opportunities that we create, including product diversification and international expansion, is critical to achieving our ambitious growth plans. Within this context, sustainability is a strategic priority for the Group, and fundamental to achieving our long-term goals by building a resilient business and fostering innovation and operational excellence. Operating sustainably is about ensuring that our Company will prosper, delivering on our purpose and shaping a better future by continuing to do things more effectively and efficiently tomorrow than we do today. In this respect, despite the challenges of the global pandemic, 2020 was a year of progress in our sustainability journey, from enhancing data collection throughout the lifecycle of our assets so that we can assess our progress even more effectively, launching our biggest energy management project across 87 of our assets, to articulating what we stand for and implementing our ambitions throughout our business. Salwa — The past year has seen a record inflow into ESG funds. What in your view is driving investor behaviour? Greg — The increasing focus investors are placing on sustainability has accelerated in recent years. This shows no sign of abating. The climate crisis, coupled with the disruption caused by COVID-19, has prompted investors to identify resilient businesses to reduce investment risk and boost long-term growth. The level of change is gaining pace across our region, and Aldar is uniquely placed to benefit from this transformation whilst directly contributing to the UAE’s sustainability ambitions. As a leader in our sector, Aldar is setting the bar in terms of sustainability, implementing initiatives across our business and at all stages of the real estate lifecycle. As such, we have increased our transparency and disclosures to investors, through benchmarks and indices including the European Property Real Estate Association’s (EPRA) Best Practice Recommendations (BPR) guidelines and the Dow Jones Sustainability Index (DJSI). We are confident that our value-driven approach, from climate change to diversity, inclusion and health and safety is not only the right thing to do but will deliver sustainable growth for our investors and shareholders. 11GRI 203-2 Looking to the future Q&A Here Greg Fewer, our Group Chief Financial and Sustainability Officer, discusses what sustainability means for Aldar and the future of real estate with Salwa Al Maflahi, Director - Sustainability & CSR.
