40 Environmental, Social and Governance Report 2022 PILLAR 2: PROPERTY PORTFOLIO Quality, comfort, accessibility and durability are attributes highly valued by our customers. We design, construct and maintain our properties utilising advanced technologies and quality resources to prevent material degradation and ensure that they are safe and built to last. The Group believes in investing in ground breaking initiatives as an important driver of innovations and productivity, to transform real assets into smart buildings. Our Future Solutions Group (FSG) assesses and undertakes sustainable asset enhancement initiatives to optimise performance and productivity. A notable example is the built to suit (BTS) redevelopment project for POKKA Logistics Singapore, a partnership between ESR and PGIM Real Estate in April 2022. The fully ramped facility boasts a suite of sustainability features such as a 2 MW rooftop solar power generation capacity to be used by the tenants, as well as the adoption of the AMPD Enertainer, an advanced, compact and connected battery energy storage system that reduces approximately 80% of carbon footprint. POKKA is expected to become fully carbon neutral within a few years of operations. Flexible & Adaptable Properties CASE STUDY REGENERATING CITY CENTRE BROWNFIELD SITES ARA Europe is developing a hotel situated in Dublin City Centre, which has been identified as a key regeneration area to drive new sustainable employment, leisure, cultural and residential opportunities in the city. The development also sits within the area of archaeological importance due to the presence of a medieval burial site directly beneath it. Our management team has worked closely with environmental consultants and the proposed occupier to integrate environmental considerations into the design and construction of the asset, and to ensure optimum environmental performance after completion. The development is on track to achieving the BREEAM Very Good green certification. Built-to-suit logistics facility for POKKA
