Since we started our sustainability journey in 2000, we have built a firm foundation that has made our business resilient to the sustainability and economic challenges faced by the real estate industry.
With CapitaLand’s growing global presence, we believe we can make a larger positive impact to the communities we operate in. With the foundation we have built in the past 20 years, we aim to elevate our environmental, social and governance (ESG) efforts in the decade ahead with our 2030 Sustainability Master Plan: a strategic blueprint which outlines our ambitious goals and directs our sustainability efforts towards a common purpose.
CapitaLand aims to BUILD a resilient and resource efficient real estate portfolio, ENABLE thriving and future-adaptive communities, and ACCELERATE sustainability innovation and collaboration. As we continue to create long-term economic value for our stakeholders, our Master Plan will guide us to grow in a responsible manner and contribute to the environmental and social well-being of our communities.
