In 2023, Grab picked up pace towards our mission by strengthening efforts to

serve more people, better.

As a result, we grew our user base - as at year end, 35.5 million people leverage our platform to eat, ride and pay every month. We also onboarded over one million driver-partners and 500,000 micro, small and medium enterprises MSMEs), bringing our total number of registered partners and Kios agents to more than 13 million. Meanwhile, total transaction volumes on our platform grew by 16% year-on-year, while driver-partners' earnings per transit hour increased by 9% year-on-year.

We achieved these outcomes by applying our deep understanding of Southeast Asia, as well as our technology and data capabilities. More specifically, we made our ecosystem more accessible by expanding our range of affordable solutions. We also grew our driver-partners'earning opportunities by improving their productivity. And we supported the growth of MSMEs by enhancing our digital tools to help everyday entrepreneurs better run their businesses.

Significantly, we made progress on our mission, while crossing several business milestones. As economies fully reopened and travel resumed, our mobility business rebounded, and has since exceeded pre-Covid levels as we exited 2023 in terms of gross merchandise value GMV‹. Meanwhile, our deliveries segment showed resilience amidst rising inflation, and we grew our category leadership position in all our core markets. Our Group also achieved positive Adjusted Free Cash Flow for the first time in the fourth quarter of 2023.

Looking forward, there is still so much more we hope to do for Southeast Asia. Given geopolitical tensions and macroeconomic uncertainties coupled with increasingly intense weather events, some of the most pressing concerns anticipated for the region in 2024 include rising unemployment, deepening

income inequality and escalating climate change impacts. To address them, Grab

will continue to embed environmental, social and governance ESG considerations in all aspects of our business. For us, not only is this the right thing to do, but it also makes business sense. When communities thrive, they spur a virtuous positive impact cycle for businesses.

In this spirit, we will be doubling down on win-win-win solutions, which balance the economic, societal and environmental outcomes.

Let me share a few examples of such solutions we worked on in 2023-

  • Our affordable food delivery option 'Saver' not only enables us to serve more cost-conscioususers, but also increases earning opportunities for our driver- and merchant-partnersas well as reduces greenhouse gas emissions: 'Saver' allows users to opt for lower delivery fees in exchange for longer delivery periods. This increases the odds of batching orders, which allows driver-partners to earn more as they fulfil more orders per transit hour, and lowers the level of greenhouse gas emissions tied to each order delivered as shorter distances are covered. This is done without impact to consumer satisfaction, with net promoter scores for Saver orders remaining as high as that for non-Saver orders. In 2023, we rolled out 'Saver' to our six core markets.
  • Our electric vehicle EV rental programmes support decarbonisation, while providing our driver-partners with access to affordable vehicles, which in turn improves our driver supply: Across Southeast Asia, there are many who want to make a living as driver-partners,but are unable to own vehicles due to high cost barriers. In Indonesia and Thailand, our driver-partnerscan sign up for our 'Drive to Own' schemes, which allows them to own EVs without downpayment and secure loans readily, based on their driving record on our platform. They are also allowed to pay for their loans with daily instalments.

Developing holistic solutions is not always easy. To guide us in our journey, we will actively seek ground truths and maintain robust corporate governance. In 2023, we strengthened the Board and leadership's oversight of ESG initiatives, by ratifying the process and updating the Audit Committee Charter. And more recently, we increased the number of independent directors on the Board.

Ultimately, Grab is incredibly excited about the future of Southeast Asia. That said, we recognise that the opportunities and challenges ahead are bigger than any single company can navigate alone; so we are committed to engaging all our stakeholders, including government, industry, and community partners in our journey. With all of us learning, working and boldly inventing together, we have every confidence that we will be able to scale our impact for our people and our region.

ESG Govenance

The Board of Directors and Management play a critical role in fostering sustainable practices and integrating ESG into business strategy for long-term value creation. Maintaining a robust governance structure helps to ensure that Grab stays committed to its ESG goals, and that ESG risks are well-managed. In 2023, Grab formally ratified its ESG governance process.

ESG Responsibilities and Commitment

The ESG function, which is driven by the Sustainability team at Grab, reports directly to the Chief Executive Officer ™CEOŸ. This structure has been put in place since the inception of the team, with now a dotted reporting line to the Chief Operating Officer ™COOŸ. This enables strategic alignment between business units to effectively execute ESG matters.

Board of Directors Oversight:

The Audit Committee was designated as the oversight body for ESG on behalf of the Board. The Audit Committee Charterwas updated to include ESG under its purview.

Management Oversight:

An internal governance process was established for regular reporting cadence to Department Heads, Functional Heads and Executive Committee ™EXCOŸ to enable transparency, accountability and proactive action towards advancing ESG goals.
