All its developments should adhere to CapitaLand’s Sustainable Building Guidelines which “incorporate the design and construction specifications in accordance with CapitaLand’s 2030 Sustainability Master Plan targets”, said the company in a release.
CapitaLand shared that it is also developing a new metric – Return on Sustainability – on top of the regular financial return to measure its ESG impact.

It is the first global platform by a real estate company to advance innovation and collaboration in sustainability within the built environment,” revealed Leong.
In congratulating CapitaLand, Corporate Knights CEO Toby Heaps said the group has improved in its rankings due to its strong performance in clean investment and clean revenue.
