SUSTAINABILITY PILLARS
DMW is committed to creating sustainable, city-scale developments that contribute to national progress and improve the lives of people and communities.
To achieve this, the Company aligns its business strategy, operations, and stakeholder engagements with five key sustainability pillars:
- Quality of Life
- Environmental Stewardship
- Good Governance and Ethical Business Practices
- People-Centric Labor Practices
- Economic Development
These pillars serve as the foundation for DMWAI’s approach to delivering lasting value while supporting sustainable and inclusive growth.
Quality of Life. We create vibrant, mixed-use developments that enhance quality of life through accessibility, safety, walkability, and innovation, while responding to the evolving needs of our tenants and communities.
Environmental Stewardship. We promote responsible resource use through energy and water conservation, waste management, and sustainable development practices that help reduce environmental impacts and emissions. (link: Internal Carbon Pricing Framework)
Good Governance and Ethical Business Practices. We uphold the highest standards of integrity, accountability, and transparency to build trust and maintain strong stakeholder relationships.
People-Centric Labor Practices. We foster a safe, inclusive, and supportive workplace that respects human rights, promotes employee well-being, and provides opportunities for growth. (link: Human Rights Assessment Report)
Economic Development. We contribute to economic growth by generating employment, supporting local businesses, and creating long-term value for the communities we serve.
NET ZERO COMMITMENT
DMW is committed to supporting the goals of the Paris Agreement and the global transition to a low-carbon economy. We are working to develop and implement a pathway toward net-zero greenhouse gas emissions across our operations and value chain.
As part of this commitment, DMW will establish a greenhouse gas emissions baseline, identify opportunities to reduce emissions across Scope 1, Scope 2, and relevant Scope 3 activities, and work toward science-based emissions reduction targets aligned with internationally recognized climate frameworks.
Through continuous improvement, stakeholder collaboration, and transparent reporting, DMW aims to contribute to a more sustainable and climate-resilient future.
We believe these updates will better showcase DMW’s sustainability efforts and governance practices while providing investors and other stakeholders with clearer access to our ESG commitments and initiatives.
