Welcome to the Boustead Singapore Limited FY2025 Longevity Report.
With our time-honoured age of close to two centuries, our reference to sustainability reporting as 'Longevity Reporting' is deeply rooted in our all-encompassing, holistic approach to business and how we view our place in the world. As an organisation, we have enjoyed not only a long history but also a long life in service. As a responsible global corporate citizen, we are highly
contemplative about how our actions 'ripple upon the pond of life'.
Even as we have survived numerous global crises which may change
the way we operate, one thing is indelible - our distinct brand of entrepreneurialism, institutionalised in a corporate culture that links back to Boustead's earliest days of trading. Our embrace of the Boustead Way prioritises the pursuit of business with a greater purpose. It is about creating
sustainable shared socio-economic value instead of maximising short-term profit; promoting adaptability and resilience; and favouring longevity over sentimentality. It is also a position, a
value, a commercial sensibility that runs through every layer of our organisation.
In this report, we hope that you gain an in-depth understanding of how we are fundamentally robust, remain progressive and resilient, ensure our longevity and protect the viability and
long-term value of our businesses and the wider ecosystem that we are interconnected with. We also share how this translates to delivering sustainable shared socio-economic
value and progress to key stakeholders, along with the communities that we reside in and our collective home -Planet Earth. Our performance, policies and practices on material economic, environmental, social and governance topics are explained.

CHAIRMAN'S LONGEVITY MESSAGE
Dear Fellow Stakeholders,
I am pleased to present to you the Boustead Singapore Limited FY2025 Longevity Report for the financial year ended 31 March 2025.
The year under review remained challenging, with an uncertain global economic environment fuelled
by formidable geoeconomic and geopolitical headwinds. Nonetheless, the Group has together remained steadfast by delivering a set of commendable results with net profit attributable being 48% higher year-on-year at S$95.0 million. For a comparative review, after adjusting for other gains/losses and impairments, all net of non-controlling interests, net
profit would have been 8% higher year-on-year.
The Group secured approximately S$377 million in new engineering
contracts and major variations in FY2025 - more than double the figure secured in FY2024. The Geospatial Division also performed well with record-breaking revenue.
FY2025 - Steadfast Together
The theme this year reflects Boustead's journey in unity and resilience during turbulent times. There is a constant need for us to adapt and remain agile, to navigate the dynamic industry landscapes of today.
As we celebrate our successes and navigation of challenges as a refortified Group, we remain together steadfast and united in an increasingly complex global environment. The diversity of our businesses has laid strong foundations to overcome persistent geoeconomic and geopolitical tensions, upheavals, strife and wars during recent times.
Leveraging our united team and expertise, we are positioned to seize
new opportunities, strengthen our core businesses, and remain adaptable and flexible. Our collaborative steadfastness will ensure Boustead's position as a market leader in the niche areas that we serve.
Navigating Sustainability & Climate Issues
Progressing our longevity and sustainability journey, which began in FY2018, we have commenced
disclosing climate-related requirements aligned with IFRS S2 Climate-Related Disclosures issued by the International Sustainability Standards Board. In FY2025, we completed our climate scenario analyses and emissions measurements for the three remaining business divisions, having commenced in the last financial year with the Real Estate Solutions Division, where the bulk of our physical assets reside and the most emissions-intensive activities take place.
Across our three business divisions - Geospatial, Energy Engineering and Healthcare - we concluded that physical risks such as precipitation
pattern changes, floods and increased rainfall, and increased mean temperatures may result in operational disruptions, direct and indirect financial risks, operational costs, asset damage and impacts on revenue, profit and productivity, particularly under the
Hot House Scenario (global average temperatures rise more than 3°C).
Among transition risks, carbon pricing, new emissions and climate-related regulations on existing products and services, and sector stigmatisation
are likely to have the largest financial impact, particularly under the Orderly Scenario (global average temperatures rise less than 2°C).
Through the exercise we have also identified a number of climate-related opportunities such as utilisation of
INTRODUCTION | LONGEVITY REPORTING FRAMEWORK | PURSUING BUSINESS WITH A GREATER PURPOSE | DEVELOPING OUR BEST ASSET -BOUSTEAD MEN & WOMEN | CONSERVING OUR COLLECTIVE HOME - PLANET EARTH | OTHER INFORMATION |
efficient production and distribution processes, and lower emission or renewable energy sources, among others. We are not ready to commit to net-zero targets at this point in time, as we are still assessing the way forward that is pragmatic and feasible.
Purpose-Driven & People-Worthy Business
An organisation is only as good as the people who drive both meaning and purpose and exemplify its values, which is why Boustead Men and Women guided by the Boustead Way remain
at the heart of our continued success. We invest in their growth, safety and well-being while cultivating a forward-looking, progressive culture that reflects
our mission and values. Our people are our strength today - they will also be the champions of our transition to a low-emissions future. Across the globe, our teams have contributed to complex urban planning, smart cities and infrastructure projects that align with
the global shift towards decarbonisation and more sustainable economies.
This report is intended to give you an in-depth understanding of how we
remain progressive and resilient, ensure our longevity and protect the viability and long-term value of our businesses and the wider ecosystem that we are interconnected with. We also share how this translates to delivering sustainable shared socio-economic value and
progress to key stakeholders, along with the communities that we reside in and our collective home - Planet Earth. When reviewed in conjunction with our financial performance, you should come away with a holistic impression of not only Boustead but the ecosystems - small and large -that we are an integral part of.
Thank you for entrusting us with the role of being a responsible global corporate citizen, one which we hope to honour for many more centuries to come. This journey is an ultramarathon, one which we will continue running and hope to have you join, even if
only for part of the way. Thank you for supporting the Boustead Way. Have an enjoyable and insightful read.
May you and your loved ones enjoy good health and peace. Thank you once again for partnering with us in our pursuit of business with a greater purpose.

ABOUT THIS REPORT
Report Period & Scope
This is the Boustead Singapore Limited FY2025 Longevity Report, an annual publication dedicated to providing a more holistic review of our performance, especially covering nonfinancial areas such as environmental, social and governance ("ESG") topics that are material to our business and key stakeholders. This report covers our ESG performance under all four core divisions - Geospatial, Real Estate Solutions, Energy Engineering and Healthcare - including our Group Headquarters, administrative offices, significant project sites under our
control and management, and managed real estate in all major geographic markets where we have a significant presence: Singapore, Australia, Bangladesh, China, India, Indonesia, Malaysia, Thailand, Saudi Arabia, UAE, UK, US and Vietnam, unless otherwise indicated.
This report contains five years of data on material ESG topics and is aligned with our financial reporting period from 1 April 2024 to 31 March 2025 ("FY2025"). Our previous report was aligned with our financial reporting period from 1 April 2023 to 31 March 2024 ("FY2024") and was issued on 12 July 2024. Our inaugural report
was issued on 22 November 2018. We voluntarily disclosed five years of
historical data for comparison as we believe in upholding high standards of accurate, consistent, sincere, timely and transparent disclosure that provides clarity on our ESG performance and trends over time.
For context, this report should be read in conjunction with the Boustead Singapore Limited FY2025 Annual Report that is available at www. boustead.sg/reports-suite. While the governance topic has not been fully discussed in this report, our latest Corporate Governance Report ("CG Report") is available in its full text
within the Boustead Singapore Limited FY2025 Annual Report from pages 73 to 109.
The terms 'Longevity' and 'Sustainability' are interchangeable.
Report Content

Efforts were
made to ensure that material ESG topics are reflective of the current ESG topics that are material to our business and key stakeholders. Data collection on
material ESG topics is also supported by our operations teams that oversee the certification and implementation of ISO 9001 Quality Management Systems, ISO 14001 Environmental Management Systems, ISO/IEC 27001 Information Security Management Systems, ISO 45001 Occupational Health & Safety Management Systems and other key programmes such as the Building & Construction Authority Construction Quality Assessment System, Green & Gracious Builder Scheme and Green Mark Certification Scheme, and Workplace Safety & Health Council bizSAFE Programme.

The respective GRI Standards that have been applied are available in the GRI Content Index listed on pages 102 to 107. Apart from GRI Universal Standards 2021, this report also integrates our Climate Reporting Framework with our climate-focused report aligned with IFRS S2 and the
Task Force on Climate-Related Financial Disclosures ("TCFD") References have also been made to the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals.

representing 78% of the world's 250 largest corporations and 68% of the 100 largest corporations in 58 countries, use GRI.1 GRI Standards are aligned with best practices, comprehensive, flexible, regularly updated, robust and provide
a good base of ESG performance comparison across organisations of all sizes and diverse sectors, allowing for organisations to select the appropriate standards to collect and measure
ESG performance on a wide variety of ESG topics. Therefore, GRI Standards demonstrate strong alignment and excellent presentation capabilities for the ESG topics that are material to our business and key stakeholders.
As part of continuous efforts to track developments in global sustainability standards, as well as meeting an enhanced sustainability reporting regime required by SGX RegCo, this report has commenced aligning our Climate Reporting Framework with IFRS S2.

BOARD LONGEVITY STATEMENT
Our Board is committed to ensuring our longevity including upholding our longstanding position as Singapore's oldest continuous business organisation. This includes reviewing performance, policies and practices in relation to material environmental, social and governance ("ESG") topics including climate-related topics. Part of our Board's overall responsibility is
to provide oversight over major climate-related decision-making to manage climate-related opportunities and risks.
Our Board is assisted in this by the appointed Group Longevity Reporting Champion & Lead ("Group Champion"), who is advised by our Executive Directors and extended leadership team in Group Headquarters. The Group Champion coordinates the implementation of the Longevity Reporting Framework and Climate
Reporting Framework with our Business Unit Longevity Reporting Champions and IFRS S2/TCFD Project Team,
who are advised by their extended leadership teams and coordinate the implementation of the frameworks across major business units. Our Board is further assisted by robust existing systems including audit; compliance; enterprise risk; financial; HR; IT; operational; quality, environmental, health and safety ("QEHS") systems.
Our Board assesses major opportunities and risks presented by material ESG and climate-related topics, which helps to determine the appropriate strategies, policies and practices to provide the adaptability and flexibility to seize opportunities to deliver sustainable shared socio-economic value and progress, while being well-supported

by sound risk management. Our risk appetite considers material ESG and climate-related topics that may affect reputational risk, ethical and moral considerations, human rights, and have significant financial and non-financial implications.
Other than financial targets, our Board and Remuneration Committee may set key ESG targets for Executive Directors to meet annually, which
are directly tied to remuneration packages. Our Executive Directors have further set key ESG targets for Business Unit Heads to meet annually, in relation to their business units and which are directly tied to remuneration packages. Business Unit Heads also set key ESG targets for their functional heads to meet annually, in relation to their functional roles and which are directly tied to remuneration packages. Examples of such ESG targets include improving eco-sustainability, QEHS, team development and technology performance, policies and practices.

ENVIRONMENTAL, SOCIAL & GOVERNANCE MATERIALITY ASSESSMENT
Boustead conducted an ESG materiality assessment process that is aligned with the requirements of GRI Universal Standards 2021 in order to determine material ESG topics that should be included in this report. ESG topics
are considered to be material if they may have a significant impact on our business and ability to achieve our long-term objectives to be adaptable
and resilient, deliver sustainable shared
socio-economic value and progress, and create positive impacts. The views of both external and internal stakeholders are taken into account when determining material ESG topics.
To ensure that material ESG topics remain updated in our assessment process, we periodically review current and emerging megatrends, changes
in the geoeconomic, geopolitical, regulatory and ESG landscapes in the geographic markets and sectors where we operate.
Key Stakeholder Engagement We define key stakeholders as groups that our business may have a significant impact on or vice versa, and those
with a vested interest in our business conduct. After a thorough review, nine key stakeholders were identified, along with their significance, conversations and channels of communication, as shown on pages 17 to 19.
In FY2025, most conversations with key stakeholders were in relation
to geoeconomic and geopolitical
complexities, and the impact on all four core divisions - Geospatial, Real Estate Solutions, Energy Engineering and Healthcare - as well as how our response to these issues would impact key stakeholders. This was consistent across almost all key stakeholders.

for inclusion initially. Community development - although not material - was included among the initial ESG topics due to its significance to the business environment. Another material ESG topic that was added in FY2020 but subsequently dropped in FY2024 is COVID-19 and infectious disease outbreaks. In addition, the
material ESG topic of the environment has been updated to affirmatively include climate change, which had already been highlighted as an emerging ESG megatrend in the inaugural Boustead Singapore Limited FY2018 Longevity Report. In FY2024, our Climate Reporting Framework was launched based on the TCFD and in FY2025, evolved to be aligned with IFRS S2 Climate-Related Disclosures (successor to the TCFD).
In FY2025, conversations with and feedback from key stakeholders continued to affirm the validity of the reported material ESG topics.

Opportunities & Risks
We are vigilant in ensuring that our strategies to enhance key stakeholders' shared socio-economic value are well-supported by sound risk management. Our material ESG and climate-
related topics present us with both opportunities (if the right approaches to managing these topics are embraced) and risks (if these topics are neglected), which are supplemented by our existing robust systems, Enterprise Risk Management Framework, Longevity Reporting Framework and Climate Reporting Framework.
In addition, on 1 January 2016, the UN rolled out 17 Sustainable Development Goals ("SDGs"). The SDGs universally apply to all countries with the aim
of mobilising all stakeholders -governments, civil societies, the private sector and others - to collectively contribute to end poverty, fight inequality and tackle climate change through: economic growth, social inclusion and environmental protection.
We have summarised opportunities and risks from material ESG topics including how we can contribute to achieving all 17 SDGs through our business and performance, policies and practices in relation to material ESG topics, as shown on this page.
