Asia Cement incorporates mine restoration, habitat quality and natural capital into its biodiversity management. It sets performance indicators and tracks restoration outcomes to manage nature-related impacts.

Biodiversity Indicator Performance

Asia Cement has established nine sustainable mine and biodiversity performance indicators. In 2025, the mining area decreased by 15% compared with previous years, reducing the area requiring revegetation. The Company planted 2,532 native trees, below its annual target of 4,000; the report marks the other eight 2025 indicator statuses as reached or ahead of target. The cumulative restoration figure of 81.38% represents progress toward the separate 2036 objective, not completion of that objective.

Asia Cement Nature Positive 2030

Asia Cement uses 1973 as the historical baseline for its biodiversity assessment, covering a managed area of 292.69 hectares with a baseline Mean Species Abundance (MSA) value of 211.00 MSA·ha. Mining development has reduced the overall biodiversity value below this baseline. Through ongoing ecological restoration, the 2025 MSA value reached 201.86 MSA·ha, equivalent to 95.7% of the baseline value. Asia Cement will continue restoration and high-quality afforestation, expand ecological corridors, and conserve core habitats, with the aim of returning to 211.00 MSA·ha and achieving No Net Loss by 2030. After reaching that goal, the Company will continue working toward Net Positive Impact by 2050.
