Innovation as a key lever in the decarbonisation journey

In 2023, CLI partnered with tenants for the first time to testbed innovations from its CSXC at their premises. CSXC has seen more pilots focusing on reducing energy and water consumption. Ten shortlisted innovations from CSXC 2023 are being piloted in four countries, bringing the total tally to 30 innovations across seven countries since 2021. Initiatives such as the CSXC and the CapitaLand Innovation Fund (CIF) demonstrate how innovation and sustainability partnerships play a key role in CLI's decarbonisation journey.

Leadership in fund management and sustainable finance

As CLI pivots towards global real asset management, it is committed to integrating ESG considerations into every stage of its fund management lifecycle. Guided by the 2030 SMP, CLI develops customised ESG strategies that ensure funds adhere to the highest standards of responsible investing—from fund product development to capital raising, investments, asset management and exits. CLI conducts a comprehensive Environment, Health, and Safety (EHS) Impact Assessment for every new investment to ensure sufficient capital expenditure is allocated to the identified asset to attain the desired ESG outcomes.

CLI aims to be a leader in sustainable finance, which is made possible through valued strategic partnerships with financial partners. In 2023, CLI and its listed real estate investment trusts (REITs) and business trusts secured S$4.5 billion in sustainable finance, bringing the total to S$16.1 billion since 2018. Interest savings from sustainability-linked loans were channelled back into decarbonisation investments.

CLI's carbon mitigation efforts recognised by leading global indices

Through strategic initiatives aimed at reducing its carbon footprint across its operations, implementing innovative solutions, and embracing renewable energy sources, CLI has significantly mitigated its environmental impact while enhancing operational efficiency. These proactive measures, alongside efforts taken to publish robust reports detailing actions and findings, have earned CapitaLand recognition in prestigious global sustainability indices such as the Dow Jones Sustainability World Index for the 12th year and achieved a five-star rating from GRESB Real Estate Assessment for eight years. Such inclusion underscores CLI's dedication to environmental stewardship and reinforces its position as a frontrunner in the sustainable real asset management sector.
