GBG, all main contractors appointed for projects with a gross floor area of at least 2,000 square
metres, have to be ISO 14001 and Occupational Health & Safety Assessment Series (OHSAS) 18001
certified or they have to implement Environmental, Health and Safety (EHS) measures on site to
comply fully with EHS legislations equivalent. The OHSAS 18001 is an internationally recognised
standard for the occupational health and safety management of businesses.
We use an Environmental Tracking System (ETS), developed in-house by CapitaLand, to track the
monthly energy and water usage, carbon dioxide emission and waste generation for CMT’s malls.
This ETS is audited annually by CapitaLand’s Technical Services Unit.
Our long-term energy and water reduction targets (using 2008 as base year) are:
• To reduce energy and water usage by 15.0% by 2015
• To reduce energy and water usage by 20.0% by 2020
In 2014, we managed to further reduce our energy and water consumptions, as well as carbon
dioxide emissions.

Green Initiatives
All CMT’s malls marked ‘Earth Hour’ by switching off their facade lights and non-essential lighting for
extended hours throughout the night, beginning at 8.30 p.m. on 29 March 2014. This was the seventh
year that we participated in this annual global sustainability movement to promote awareness of
energy conservation.
As part of our effort to reduce waste, Funan DigitaLife Mall launched an e-waste recycling
programme in May 2014 with the support of the National Environment Agency. This recycling
programme allows eco-conscious consumers to dispose their e-waste properly in a central location.
