This year, a total of 29 CapitaLand properties in Singapore, Malaysia and China have received or have been recertified with BCA Green Mark Awards. This includes one Green Mark Platinum Super Lower Energy Award and five Green Mark Platinum Awards. To date, CapitaLand has a total of 24 Green Mark Platinum Awards. This year, four properties in Singapore have also received Universal Design Mark Awards including a Universal Design Mark Award Platinum for Jewel Changi Airport.

Notably, LogisTech is the first logistics building in Singapore to receive the BCA Green Mark Platinum Super Low Energy Award. This is one of the highest accolades for energy efficiency in the BCA Green Mark Award scheme. The development underwent a major upgrade to achieve best-in-class energy efficiency standard, including installation of solar panels at its rooftop to generate clean energy to power the building.

The five other properties that have received BCA Green Mark Platinum Award are retail malls Bugis+ and JCube; a data centre 9 Tai Seng Drive; an industrial property Corporation Place; and an upcoming integrated development Rochester Commons. Bugis+ and JCube were amongst the first CapitaLand malls in Singapore to receive the BCA Green Mark Platinum Award. This is the first time 9 Tai Seng Drive and Rochester Commons have received a BCA Green Mark Award. 9 Tai Seng Drive is a six-storey data centre in Singapore. It is CapitaLand’s first data centre to receive the BCA Green Mark Platinum Award. The data centre features an efficient water-cooled system, LED lighting and an efficient uninterrupted power supply system. Condensate from the building’s air conditioning system and water from the cooling towers are also recycled.

We place sustainability at the core of what we do, and we are heartened by BCA’s recognition as a Green Mark Platinum Champion. It endorses CapitaLand’s position as a responsible real estate company and a sustainability leader. As one of Asia’s largest diversified real estate groups with a global portfolio, we are not resting on our laurels and will continue to set the bar with more ambitious sustainability targets.

Ms Lynette Leong, Chief Sustainability Officer, CapitaLand Group

“We will launch a new CapitaLand Sustainability Masterplan in 4Q 2020, which is a blueprint and strategic roadmap to direct and galvanise all of CapitaLand’s sustainability efforts across the Group to maximise impact. It will enable us to engage our multiple stakeholders and elevate our commitment to push boundaries in sustainability as CapitaLand continues to deliver sustainable financial returns to our stakeholders in the long term,” added Ms Leong.
