ABOUT THIS REPORT

GRI 2-2,2-3,2-4,2-5

Jardine Cycle & Carriage Limited ("JC&C" or "the Group") is a Singapore-listed investment holding company with interests across Southeast Asia.

REPORTING SCOPE AND PERIOD1

This Sustainability Report ("SR2022") covers the material Environmental, Social and Governance ("ESG") disclosures of JC&C and our operationally controlled portfolio companies, namely the companies in Astra, Cycle & Carriage Singapore, Cycle & Carriage Bintang and Cycle & Carriage Myanmar for the financial period from 1st January to 31st December 2022 (the "Reporting Period"), unless otherwise stated.

SR2022 focuses on the primary role of JC&C as an investment holding company and its approach towards sustainability at the Group-level. Sustainability management is determined individually by the various subsidiaries and associates within the Group for their operations.

REPORTING STANDARDS AND GUIDELINES

SR2022 is prepared with reference to the Global Reporting Initiative Universal Standards 2021 ("GRI Standards") and incorporates the recommended disclosures from the Task Force on Climate-related Financial Disclosures ("TCFD"). This report also complies with the Singapore Exchange Securities Trading Limited ("SGX-ST") Listing Manual Rules 711A and 711B and incorporates SGX-ST's enhanced disclosure requirements on climate-related information released in 2021.

Our sustainability reporting process is subjected to a periodic review by our internal auditors, in compliance with Rule 711(B)(3) of the SGX-ST Listing Manual. The last review was performed in November 2022 as part of the 2022 internal audit plan. JC&C engaged PricewaterhouseCoopers ("PwC") as its external assurance provider to independently assure a selection of its ESG metrics. The independent limited assurance statement can be found on pages 55 to 57.

If restatement of information were made, they will be indicated in the report. No hard copies of this report are printed as part of our efforts to promote resource conservation.

SUSTAINABILITY AT JC&C

APPENDIX

BOARD STATEMENT

GRI 2-22

Through our portfolio

of market-leading businesses in the region, we seek to grow faster than Southeast Asia, sustainably.

At JC&C, we firmly believe that improving our ESG performance is vital to the long-term success of our operations in Southeast Asia and the development of communities in the region. This is why we have embedded sustainability as a core pillar of our corporate strategy, and one that shapes our business and investment decisions, capital allocation and operations.

Southeast Asia is an exciting market with vast economic growth potential. Through our portfolio of market-leading businesses in the region, we seek to grow faster than Southeast Asia, sustainably.

It is important to us that our growth contributes to the region's progress, to the advancement of its people and to the creation of opportunities that benefit our stakeholders.

We are pleased that our efforts have borne fruit during the year.

In 2022, we made further headway in transitioning our portfolio for the future. This included adopting the Jardine Matheson Group ("Jardines") policies and commitments on ESG topics, as well as publishing our inaugural climate change report based on the recommendations from TCFD. Having conducted detailed studies to understand our portfolio's climate risks and opportunities, we included in the report an analysis of our exposure to the coal industry, as well as our plans to increase our investments in renewable energy and to facilitate a timely transition to electric vehicles for our automotive businesses. We have since integrated the findings into our risk management system, business decisions and investment strategies.

Recognising the long-term risk that coal poses to our portfolio, we announced plans to manage our exposure by not investing in new coal mines or coal-fired power plants. We also aim to grow our non-coal related revenue from 76% in 2022 to 90% by 2030.

We continued measuring our Scope 1 and 2 emissions in 2022 and developed reduction targets. Moving forward, we

will continually review our progress in this transition journey and develop decarbonisation pathways for key sectors in which we have invested.

Beyond environmental concerns, JC&C has always placed a high priority on corporate governance. In 2022, we were placed in the top 11% of the S&P Global Corporate Sustainability Assessment under the Industrial Conglomerate category. We were also honoured to have been shortlisted for the Best Managed Board at the Singapore Corporate Awards ("SCA") 2022. The SCA is the leading award programme for Singapore-listed companies and the category of Best Managed Board is its highest honour.

Social inclusion is also a key focus area of the Group. We support three United Nations Sustainable Development Goals ("UN SDGs") that we identified as priorities: Good Health and Well-being ("SDG 3"), Quality Education ("SDG 4") and Decent Work and Economic Growth ("SDG 8"). We refined our social inclusion strategy during the year and will focus on investing in local communities and individual professional growth for our employees. In addition, we continued to champion awareness of the importance of mental health, a cause we have supported over the past decade. In 2022, we were delighted that Jardines' mental health charity, MINDSET, was awarded the "Charity Transparency Award" and the "Charity Governance Award" by the Charity Council and Ministry of Culture, Community and Youth.

We are grateful for the support from our portfolio companies, employees, shareholders and other stakeholders in our sustainability journey. We look forward to continuing purposeful collaborations with them to deliver strong, sustainable growth for the region and a positive impact on our communities.
