Gig work: Accessible and flexible earning


opportunities for everyone
Platform-enabled gig work is an accessible and flexible livelihood opportunity. Anyone who wishes to earn an
income is able to do so, and enjoy a high degree of flexibility that fits their needs and preferences, whether they
are looking for something short or long term. In this manner, Grab is a critical enabler of livelihoods that
complements the formal labour market. It provides supplementary earning opportunities for underemployed or
unemployed communities for whom accessing the formal labour force may be more challenging, for example,
partners with disabilities (PWDs) and women returning to the workforce. In times of economic shocks to the
formal labour market (e.g. pandemic), Grab also provides much-needed earning opportunities for people who
may have lost their jobs.

In 2023, Grab provided access to livelihood opportunities through gig work for:

Data Privacy
Data privacy by design
Grab understands that our employees, consumers, and partners trust us with their personal data - in storing, handling and protecting it. That is why we embed privacy and data protection into every new
product or feature from the conceptualisation and design phase through its entire lifecycle.

Our Data Privacy Framework is based on these four tenets:

Notification Protection and safe custody Retaining personal data

Our Privacy Office regularly reviews the global regulatory landscape and best practices to maintain robust data privacy control, while our Internal Audit and Risk Assurance teams, as well as independent
assessors, provide evaluations and assurance on the effectiveness of these control measures.

In 2023, we fortified our data protection measures by employing advanced machine learning to spot and classify Personally Identifiable Information (PII). This solution equips us with the agility and scalability
needed to adjust to dynamic regulatory commitments and enforce precise, robust privacy controls. This broad-based strategy also improves our data retention management.

All these have allowed us to maintain high standards of data protection, and in 2023, we received zero substantiated complaints15 made by third-parties or regulators that are significant in scale and
impact concerning breaches of customer privacy.

Greenhouse Gas Emissions


Supporting our driver-partners’ transition to low or zero emission modes of transport such as electric vehicles (EVs) will be the biggest and most important emissions reduction lever for Grab’s overall total
of greenhouse gas emissions. As an asset-light marketplace platform, over 96% of total greenhouse gas emissions are indirect and coming from the value chain (Scope 3). These emissions are primarily
from vehicles owned and operated by our driver- and delivery-partners as they earn an income providing rides and food deliveries. We believe that the transition to a low carbon economy will not only protect
the environment we live in but mitigate effects of climate change on the livelihood and well-being of the most vulnerable communities in Southeast Asia.

Since 2021, Grab has set an emissions reduction-first approach in our road towards carbon neutrality by 2040.

Lever 1 Grab’s focus is to support our driver-partners in transitioning to low


emission vehicles and encouraging zero-emission modes of transport.

Residual emissions that cannot be reduced through our other levers

Our view on contributing towards voluntary carbon market


Carbon reduction is the utmost priority and focus in Grab’s decarbonisation strategy. At present, Grab
participates in the voluntary purchase of carbon credits18 on behalf of consumers, through the carbon offset
feature, which seeks to educate consumers about climate change and empower action. We recognise that there
are currently no universally-aligned standards for the carbon market. However, we do not want to discount the
fact that carbon credits are legitimate financial instruments for long-term environmental good. We will continue
to hold a high bar on our suppliers to ensure selected projects support their intended outcome, and hope the
industry will continue to debate the topic and work constructively together towards a lower carbon future. At
present, we conduct additional due diligence and reference the best available information provided by top carbon Planting of mangroves along the coast in Indonesia helps prevent coastal erosion.

Climate risks and opportunities


Grab began assessing its climate risks and opportunities based on the recommendations of the Taskforce for Climate-related Financial Dis-
closures (TCFD) in 2021, putting us in good stead to meet the International Sustainability Standards Board (ISSB) sustainability standards, in
the form of International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS) S1 and S2, as these standards fully incorporate the recommendations of TCFD.
As greenhouse gas is a material sustainability topic for Grab, we began we began voluntary measurement and transparent disclosure of our greenhouse gas emissions, including Scope 3
emissions, since our first ESG report in 2020. We have since expanded the scope of our measurement and reporting to include our subsidiaries, and additional categories in Scope 3. This has
also allowed Grab to assess our climate impact, risks and opportunities more accurately.

In 2023, Grab strengthened our ESG governance, improving oversight and management of our material topics relating to climate. Grab’s leadership also aligned on the organisation's top five
climate risks and opportunities, after qualitatively assessing all types of physical and transition risks, as well as opportunities, suggested by TCFD.

Sustain Packaging Solutions


Food packaging waste is an inherent by-product of our food delivery platform, and Grab has set a goal of Zero Packaging Waste by 2040. However, effective
waste management remains a challenge in Southeast Asia due to lagging waste management infrastructure and collection processes, with an estimated 70%
of the waste generated in the region being uncollected or illegally dumped19. There are also other challenges such as lack of commercially viable alternatives
to plastics, overpackaging and overconsumption, as well as mixed materials used in food packaging.

Similar to how we manage greenhouse gas emissions, Grab taps on the scale of our platform to shift consumer behaviours and form partnerships to provide
a test bed for trialling sustainable packaging solutions.

Cybersecurity programme
Our Cybersecurity Team also continuously reviews the changing landscape of cyber threats and invests in our cybersecurity vulnerability management, monitoring, detection and
response capabilities. We are subject to internal and external audits periodically to verify the effectiveness of our security measures and our approach is also in compliance with
applicable cybersecurity laws and sector-specific requirements imposed by regulators.

Data privacy framework Our approach to data privacy is underpinned by our “Privacy by Design” framework. We embed privacy and data protection into every new product or feature from the
conceptualisation and design phase, through its entire lifecycle.

Our Data Privacy Framework is based on these four tenets:


1. Notification and obtaining consent
2. Protection and safe custody of personal data
3. Retaining personal data for no longer than necessary
4. Transparency

Our Privacy Office regularly reviews the global regulatory landscape and best practices to maintain robust data privacy control, while our Internal Audit and Risk Assurance teams
as well as independent assessors, provide evaluations and assurance on the effectiveness of these control measures.

Unlawful physical acts that are of a sexual nature. This includes attempted or actual penetration or touching or kissing any sexual body part. We also include sexual misconduct to encompass non-verbal and non-physical behaviour used to obtain sexual gratification against another’s will or at the expense of another,
