sustainability practices. Presenters shared on ‘Green
Mark Scheme’ for workplace, how solar panels and LED
lights help to save energy as well as how landlords and
tenants can work together for a holistic approach to a
buildings' performance.
During the year, we also committed ourselves to an
expansive programme to deploy 4.7 megawatts capacity
in grid-connected solar energy systems across ten of
our properties. For such initiative, we were awarded the
Solar Pioneer Award for the second time. Organised by
the Singapore Economic Development Board (EDB),
this award recognises building owners who are early
demonstrators and adopters of solar energy systems. We
will continue to explore and adopt more environment
products and programmes moving forward.
We are also working towards achieving Green Mark
Certification for CIT properties. For properties identified
or undergoing upgrading works and/or AEI, we have
incorporate green features such as energy efficient
lights during the design stages to ensure sustainability
of the building. In addition, we are also in the process
of conducting feasibility studies to incorporate green
leases moving forward.
