Singapore, 11 September 2014 - CapitaLand Limited (CapitaLand) has retained its listing in the Dow Jones Sustainability World Index (DJSI World) 2014 for the third consecutive year, and the Dow Jones Sustainability Asia Pacific Index (DJSI Asia Pacific)

2014 for the fifth time. It was the first Singapore real estate company to be listed in the
DJSI Asia Pacific when it was launched in 2009.
The indices were released today by S&P Dow Jones Indices, one of the world's leading providers of financial market indices and RobecoSAM, the investment specialist focused exclusively on Sustainability Investing. The DJSI follow a best-in-class approach, including companies across all industries that outperform their peers in numerous sustainability metrics. Each year over 3,000 companies, including 800 companies from emerging markets, are invited to participate in RobecoSAM's Corporate Sustainability Assessment. The DJSI World includes only the top 10% of companies per industry, making it the gold standard for corporate sustainability. This year marks the 15-year anniversary of the DJSI.
CapitaLand is one of the first Singapore-listed companies to publish its Global
Sustainability Report 2013 (Report) based on the new Global Reporting Initiative Global
4 (GRI G4) Sustainability Reporting Guidelines, ahead of the 31 December 2015 timeline. The Report, aligned with the core level requirements outlined in the G4's reporting standards, has achieved a "Materiality Matters" Check by GRI. The Report is externally assessed to the AA1000 Assurance Standard.
G4, GRI's fourth generation Sustainability Reporting Guidelines, helps companies prepare sustainability reports that matter, contains valuable information about the organisation's most critical sustainability-related issues and makes such sustainability
reporting standard practice.
