Protecting Our Planet

In response to the worsening climate and environmental challenges, we are committed to creating spaces that exist in harmony with the planet, minimising environmental impacts, and contributing positively to the natural world. Environmental stewardship is a core element of our strong commitment to sustainability. For example, all our operations have environmental systems certified by ISO 14001:2015. With a vision for a sustainable future, we are committed to reducing carbon emissions, improving energy efficiency, and increasing the use of renewable energy. By adopting green building principles, we create climate-resilient, energy-efficient spaces that support biodiversity and thrive with nature. We also promote circular business practices to minimise waste and collaborate with stakeholders to drive collective action towards a low-carbon, sustainable future. Through these ongoing efforts, we aim to create environments where both humans and nature can thrive together.

Innovating Green Building Design

Sustainable building has been a key aspect of the Group’s sustainability strategy, reflecting our strong commitment to environmental responsibility and safeguarding the planet. Recognising that construction and property development account for a significant part of our environmental impact, we prioritise energy and resource efficiency to minimise the environmental footprint of our projects while enhancing the well-being of occupants. Our new developments incorporate advanced sustainable features, including Building Information Modelling (“BIM”), Modular Integrated Construction (“MiC”) method, smart IoT systems, and Multi-trade Integrated Mechanical, Electrical, and Plumbing (“MiMEP”), demonstrating our commitment to innovative and environmentally responsible design.

Speeding Up Green Transition

In response to the urgent call to address climate change and sustainability, we have embarked on a transformative journey towards a sustainable future. Our ambitious “Chinachem Group Carbon Reduction Roadmap – CCG 3050+” (“CCG 3050+”), is aligned with the 1.5°C pathway which has been endorsed by the Science Based Targets initiative (“SBTi”). Through CCG 3050+, our goal is to reduce operational carbon intensity in Scope 1 and 2 by 51.8% and Scope 3 carbon intensity from capital goods, downstream leased assets, and waste generated in operations by 20% by 2030, with 2020 levels serving as the benchmark.

Promoting Sustainability with Our Stakeholders

Implementing effective sustainability practices requires collective action and collaboration. To engage our stakeholders, we have expanded our green initiatives through industrial collaboration, customer engagement campaigns, education, and awareness programmes. These include organising Chinachem Group Sustainability Conference, seeking partnerships in decarbonisation, and conducting regular events on sustainable living and working environment.
