AIT Annual Report 2025

n TABLE OF CONTENTS

The Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) consist of 17 interconnected global objectives aimed at creating a “blueprint for a better and more sustainable future for everyone.”

AIT Sustainability Report 2025

NET ZERO BY 2030 GOAL: AIT’s Net Zero drive shows measurable progress, with total campus emissions declining from 9,629 tCO₂e in 2023 and 9,221 tCO₂e in 2024 to 8,770 tCO₂e in 2025—a reduction of 4.89% from 2024 and 8.92% from 2023. Scope 1 emissions fell by 24.37%, mainly through reduced fuel use and refrigerant-related emissions, while Scope 2 decreased by 13.62%, supported by lower electricity consumption and campus solar generation. However, Scope 3 increased by 12.64%, driven particularly by official air travel, waste, commuting, and procurement. AIT’s 2030 roadmap proposes reductions of 8,920 tCO₂e per year. The largest contribution will come from an 8 MW floating solar project, which is at the implementation stage, followed by chiller efficiency improvements, which have already been implemented, and dormitory AC replacement, which is at the design stage. Additional measures include motion-sensor lighting, LED retrofits, nature-based and IoT-enabled solutions, ecosystem management, and improved waste recycling and water management. By integrating these measures with research and innovation, AIT aims to contribute to the solutions for global climate challenges, enhance academic excellence, while achieving Net Zero targets by 2030, and position itself as a living laboratory model HEI.

100% RENEWABLE ENERGY PATHWAY: The AIT Sustainability Report 2025 provides a detailed overview of the Asian Institute of Technology’s commitment to supporting the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) through education, research, outreach, policy, and operations. It functions as both a progress report and a strategic communication tool, highlighting AIT’s efforts in tackling key sustainability issues in Asia and beyond. The report emphasizes AIT’s SDG-aligned research, innovative teaching, community involvement, and operational methods. It features SDG dashboards, project summaries, and performance indicators, demonstrating real impacts like lower carbon emissions, water saving, inclusive education, and collaborations. Each SDG segment shows how AIT embeds sustainability into its academic and institutional policies, affirming its dedication to the 2030 Agenda.

HIGHLIGHTS FROM THE 2025 REPORT Global Ranking Achievement: AIT ranks in the global top 101-200 out of 2,318 institutions in the Times Higher Education (THE) Impact Rankings 2025, making it one of the top-performing universities worldwide. It secured: 18th globally for SDG 2: Zero Hunger 19th for SDG 16: Peace, Justice, and Strong Institutions 33rd for SDG 1: Partnerships for the Goals 47th for SDG 1: No Poverty

AIT Annual Report 2025

AIT is pursuing a pathway towards 100% renewable energy as a key pillar of its Net Zero by 2030 strategy. In 2025, campus rooftop solar systems generated 1.92 GWh (1,922,630 kWh) of clean electricity, avoiding approximately 961 tCO₂e and contributing to a 13.62% reduction in Scope 2 emissions compared with 2024. Building on this progress, AIT plans to expand its renewable energy generation through an 8 MW floating solar power plant and additional rooftop solar installations. The integration of Battery Energy Storage Systems (BESS) will enable surplus daytime solar energy to be stored and used during evenings and peak demand periods. This will maximize renewable energy utilization, enhance energy resilience, reduce reliance on grid electricity, and support AIT’s transition towards 100% renewable electricity and a Net Zero campus by 2030. Ò Research Excellence: AIT continues to advance the UN Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) through multidisciplinary research. By 2025, AIT had produced 9,746 Scopus-indexed SDG publications, including 974 published in 2025. The strongest research areas are SDG 6 (Clean Water and Sanitation), SDG 11 (Sustainable Cities), SDG 9 (Industry & Innovation), and SDG 13 (Climate Action). AIT’s research excellence is further demonstrated by the recognition of 19 faculty members among the World’s Top 2% Scientists and five faculty members among the world’s leading scholars by ScholarGPS, reinforcing AIT’s global leadership in sustainability research.

AIT Sustainability Report 2025

Ò Equitable Education: In 2025, AIT strengthened its commitment to equitable education by providing scholarships to 2,146 students. Of these whom 1,348 (62.8%) were from low- and lower-middle-income countries, including 1,331 students from lower-middle-income countries and 17 students from low-income countries. This targeted financial support helps reduce economic barriers and expand access to quality higher education for students from developing economies. AIT also fostered an inclusive campus community, with 657 full-time employees representing 34 nationalities. Women accounted for 51.75% of the workforce and held 45% of leadership positions. Supported by policies on equal opportunity, anti-harassment, parental leave, and employee well-being, these achievements demonstrate AITs sustained commitment to equitable access, diversity, and inclusion. Ò Community & Global Engagement: AIT strengthened its community and global engagement by collaborating with governments, international organizations, industry, academic institutions and local communities to address sustainable development challenges across Asia and beyond. Through research, professional training, policy engagement, outreach, and capacity-building initiatives, AIT advanced work in climate resilience, food and water security, renewable energy, digital agriculture, disaster risk reduction, and inclusive development. The Institute expanded its partnerships with organizations such as the ADB, FAO, UN agencies, the British Academy, Friedrich-Ebert-Stiftung, CIRAD, SEI, and national governments. It also engaged with local communities through knowledge transfer, technology demonstrations, and field-based projects. These collaborative efforts strengthened AIT’s Living Laboratory approach, transforming research into practical solutions that generate measurable social, environmental, and economic impacts, while reinforcing AIT’s role as a regional hub for sustainable development and global partnerships. AIT’s Sustainability Report 2025 demonstrates the Institute’s strong dedication to providing effective solutions to sustainability issues worldwide and in the region. It showcases AIT’s development into a dynamic testing ground for sustainability efforts, integrating the SDGs across all aspects of its operations. AIT maintains its leadership in advancing a greener, more just future, from implementing data-based decarbonization strategies to conducting internationally acclaimed research and fostering inclusive student programs.

AIT Annual Report 2025

Independent Auditor’s Report

Independent Audit’s Report

To the Board of Trustees of Asian Institute of Technology Opinion I have audited the financial statements of Asian Institute of Technology (“Institute”), which comprise the statement of financial position and statement of financial position classified by funds as at 31 December 2025, the statement of revenues and expenses, the statement of revenues and expenses classifies by funds, changes in fund balances and cash flows for the year then ended, and notes, comprising a summary of significant accounting policies and other explanatory information. In my opinion, the accompanying financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the Institute as at 31 December 2025 and its financial performance and cash flows for the year then ended in accordance with the Thai Financial Reporting Standard for Non-Publicly Accountable Entities (TFRS for NPAEs) and the Institute’s accounting manual.

Basis for Opinion I conducted my audit in accordance with Thai Standards on Auditing (TSAs). My responsibilities under those standards are further described in the Auditor’s Responsibilities for the Audit of the Financial Statements section of my report. I am independent of the Institute in accordance with the Code of Ethics for Professional Accountants including Independence Standards issued by the Federation of Accounting Professions (Code of Ethics for Professional Accountants) that is relevant to my audit of the financial statements, and I have fulfilled my other ethical responsibilities in accordance with the Code of Ethics for Professional Accountants. I believe that the audit evidence I have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for my opinion.

Other Information Management is responsible for the other information. The other information comprises the information included in the annual report, but does not include the financial statements and my auditor’s report thereon. The annual report is expected to be made available to me after the date of this auditor’s report. My opinion on the financial statements does not cover the other information and I will not express any form of assurance conclusion thereon. In connection with my audit of the financial statements, my responsibility is to read the other information identified above when it becomes available and, in doing so, consider whether the other information is materially inconsistent with the financial statements or my knowledge obtained in the audit, or otherwise appears to be materially misstated. When I read the annual report, if I conclude that there is a material misstatement therein, I am required to communicate the matter to the management and request that the correction be made.

Responsibilities of Management and Those Charged with Governance for the Financial Statements Management is responsible for the preparation and fair presentation of the financial statements in accordance with TFRS for NPAEs, and for such internal control as management determines is necessary to enable the preparation of financial statements that are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error. In preparing the financial statements, management is responsible for assessing the Institute’s ability to continue as a going concern, disclosing, as applicable, matters related to going concern and using the going concern basis of accounting unless management either intends to liquidate the Institute or to cease operations, or has no realistic alternative but to do so. Those charged with governance are responsible for overseeing the Company’s financial reporting process.

Auditor’s Responsibilities for the Audit of the Financial Statements My objectives are to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements as a whole are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error, and to issue an auditor’s report that includes my opinion. Reasonable assurance is a high level of assurance, but is not a guarantee that an audit conducted in accordance with TSAs will always detect a ma-

Independent Auditor’s Report

terial misstatement when it exists. Misstatements can arise from fraud or error and are considered material if, individually or in the aggregate, they could reasonably be expected to influence the economic decisions of users taken on the basis of these financial statements. As part of an audit in accordance with TSAs, I exercise professional judgment and maintain professional skepticism throughout the audit. I also: Ò Identify and assess the risks of material misstatement of the financial statements, whether due to fraud or error, design and perform audit procedures responsive to those risks, and obtain audit evidence that is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for my opinion. The risk of not detecting a material misstatement resulting from fraud is higher than for one resulting from error, as fraud may involve collusion, forgery, intentional omissions, misrepresentations, or the override of internal control. Ò Obtain an understanding of internal control relevant to the audit in order to design audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Institute’s internal control. Ò Evaluate the appropriateness of accounting policies used and the reasonableness of accounting estimates and related disclosures made by management. Ò Conclude on the appropriateness of management’s use of the going concern basis of accounting and, based on the audit evidence obtained, whether a material uncertainty exists related to events or conditions that may cast significant doubt on the Institute’s ability to continue as a going concern. If I conclude that a material uncertainty exists, I am required to draw attention in my auditor’s report to the related disclosures in the financial statements or, if such disclosures are inadequate, to modify my opinion. My conclusions are based on the audit evidence obtained up to the date of my auditor’s report. However, future events or conditions may cause the Institute to cease to continue as a going concern. Ò Evaluate the overall presentation, structure and content of the financial statements, including the disclosures, and whether the financial statements represent the underlying transactions and events in a manner that achieves fair presentation. I communicate with management regarding, among other matters, the planned scope and timing of the audit and significant audit findings, including any significant deficiencies in internal control that I identify during my audit.

Furthermore, the lease is contingent on a Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) between the University and the Institute. The MOU provides that the Institute will make available and fund a total of sixty scholarships over the thirty-year life of the land lease agreement. Scholarships made in accordance with the MOU will cover tuition fees for qualified lecturers from the University, selected by the University, to pursue a Doctoral degree at the Institute. At 31 December 2025, the scholarship commitment amounted to totaling Baht 76.50 million (2024: Baht 76.50 million). As at 31 December 2025 and 2024, the Institute had: 2025
