Water Management

Water is a key resource that needs to be managed adequately since it forms an important part of our building services and the communities that we operate in. Efficient water management enhances the longevity and appeal of our assets and aligns with our long-term goal of reducing reliance on external water sources.

In line with this commitment, we have implemented various initiatives to minimize water wastage and improve efficiency. To ensure water efficiency, we have adopted the 4R philosophy—Reduce, Reuse, Recycle, and Replenish—in our assets. To promote demand-side water management, we have installed water meters at key locations to monitor water consumption and usage.

For our occupants, we promote the installation of low-flow fixtures and mandate the installation of aerators to achieve water efficiency. We have also taken measures to reduce landscape water demand, such as planting native and drought-tolerant species across all our assets and installing drip irrigation systems.

Given that our projects are situated in urban areas, we understand the potential challenges of water scarcity. To address this, we have adopted sustainable water conservation initiatives across our operations. This includes the installation and maintenance of water harvesting pits and tanks to promote rainwater harvesting at our projects. This initiative not only conserves water but also helps store water in areas of high water table.

To ensure that the recycled water is safe for reuse, we have installed sewage treatment plants equipped with ultrafiltration technology to provide the best quality non-potable water for various uses, such as flushing and cooling towers. Additionally, we’ve piloted chemical-free cooling tower water treatment incorporating Sequencing Batch Reactor (SBR) technology along with photocatalysis at one of our facilities. This ensures that water for reuse falls within the safe limits as per the prescribed standards, helping us effectively regulate critical parameters like Chemical Oxygen Demand (COD) and Biological Oxygen Demand (BOD).
