Efficient waste management is integral to our commitment to minimizing environmental impact and enhancing performance. To achieve this, we have integrated Reduce, Reuse, Recycle, Refuse and ROT (5Rs) principles into our strategy, promoting a circular approach in our operations and development. Waste management planning starts from the design stage for all our developments and during the operational stage all assets have specific waste reduction, recycling or reuse targets.

Our objective is to achieve Net Zero waste certification across all assets by 2025.

Our onsite waste management protocols begin with the segregation of waste at its source for all our assets. All waste is meticulously sorted and stored in designated areas. Dry waste and Construction and Demolition (C&D) waste are handled through State Pollution Control Board/ government-authorized vendors or recyclers. Additionally, we have installed organic waste composters onsite to convert organic waste into compost, which is then used within our premises to enrich green spaces. We conduct regular bi-annual quality testing of the compost to ensure its high standards and effectiveness are maintained.

We recognize that effective waste reduction requires collaborative efforts. Starting FY 2023-24, we have started informing our occupants about their waste intensity — the amount of waste generated per occupant per day every 15 days. This initiative has empowered strategic decision-making to minimize and manage waste at the tenant level.

In our commitment to raise awareness about waste reduction, we organize engagement events, campaigns and training sessions for stakeholders. We also undertake community-driven initiatives to tackle waste-related environmental challenges. One such initiative is 'Ploggers Drives', where participants collect street waste while jogging. This inclusive program engages our employees and tenants, fostering a collective dedication to environmental stewardship within our community.
