Tropicana & Greenre Ink Green Building MOU,  Pledging Its Commitment To Sustainable Living

• Positioning itself as an eco-friendly and sustainable community builder, Tropicana inked an MOU  with GreenRE to pledge a long-term partnership anchored on sustainable living.

• This MOU demonstrated Tropicana’s commitment to sustainable practices and green building  excellence. 

• This initiative also aligns with Tropicana’s ongoing ESG commitments while encouraging property buyers to adopt greener living, reduce carbon footprints and embrace a cleaner,  greener future. 

Positioning itself as an eco-friendly and sustainable  community builder, Tropicana Corporation Berhad (“Tropicana” or “Group”) inked an MOU  with GreenRE Sdn Bhd (“GreenRE”) to pledge a long-term partnership anchored on  sustainable living. This MOU demonstrated Tropicana’s commitment to sustainable practices  and green building excellence for its developments. 

This green partnership focuses on adopting best practices, as outlined by GreenRE, a green  building certification body formed by Malaysia’s Real Estate and Housing Developers’  Association (“REHDA”) that promotes sustainability in Malaysia’s property industry. 

Khoo Thian Shyang, Deputy Chief Executive Officer of Tropicana shared, “For more than 45  years, Tropicana has been redefining the art of living. We are the master planner for more  than 10 townships across Malaysia and we recognise the importance of sustainable living.  Today marks another significant milestone for Tropicana Group as we pledge our long-term  commitment towards the Green Building Practices. This initiative also aligns with Tropicana’s  ongoing ESG commitments, while encouraging property buyers to adopt greener living,  reduce carbon footprints and embrace a cleaner, greener future. With this, we can also help  to minimise the environmental impact on our operations and developments.” 

Today we received the GreenRE provisional award for two new developments, Avisa 2 at  Tropicana Alam Puncak Alam and TwinPines at Tropicana Grandhill Genting Highlands. We are  honoured to receive these awards and we extend our appreciation to GreenRE for their  recognition and support. By partnering with GreenRE, we will continuously invest in green  initiatives and embrace best practices.” Khoo added.

Over the years, Tropicana has built more than 17 developments that have received the  hallmark of green building certifications, demonstrating its ongoing efforts for sustainable  living. Speaking at the signing ceremony, GreenRE Executive Director Ashwin Thurairajah shared, “Tropicana has been an advocate of green building best practices for many years, and  we are pleased to enter into this long-term partnership reflecting our united vision for a greener future. With this partnership, we hope to encourage other corporate citizens to join  our mission in making Malaysia a greener nation.” 

OVERVIEW OF GREEN FEATURES 

Building townships since 1979, Tropicana has broadened its position from a resort-style  developer to a sustainable community planner anchored on its 8 distinct development DNAs  and 3 ESG pillars. Our design approach focuses on indoor and outdoor spaces that are in  ecological and aesthetic harmony with their surroundings. As we continue our mission to  Redefine the Art of Living, we are also adopting ESG best practices in our aim to connect with  the communities and forge a sustainable future where all our townships offer a live-work-play learn-grow environment. 

As we are embarking on our journey to support Malaysia’s ambition to become carbon neutral  by 2050, we have taken steps to lower the Group’s carbon emissions by developing sustainable  townships providing many facilities/amenities such as scenic central parks, lakes & jogging  tracks; woodland methodology with drought torrent plants; energy & water-efficient home  fittings; green concrete & low VOC paint; dedicated recycling area, high-speed internet  connectivity, EV charging stations as well as great accessibility to major highways and MRT  stations for better connectivity. Quality remains as one of the most important parameters in  property development, alongside timely delivery and price. To ensure its purchasers receive  the best value, all Tropicana developments are evaluated and certified by QLASSIC, a body  instituted by CIDB and serve as benchmarks for workmanship quality, safety and health  aspects in construction projects. 

With Tropicana’s sizeable landbank of 2,097 acres with an estimated GDV of RM112 billion,  the Group is in a good position to deliver sustainable performance in the next few years,  continuing its mission to forging futures and connecting communities.
