Buildings are significant contributors to global greenhouse gas emissions and energy consumption, accounting for for 39% and a 25-45% range respectively, according to statistics from our sustainability report. As a result, there has been a growing focus on reducing the negative environmental impact of buildings and construction activities. This has led to the implementation of the “green building” initiative – An architectural concept that focuses on designing, constructing and maintaining buildings in a manner that minimizes their negative impact on the environment and maximizes their positive contribution to social, economic, and environmental sustainability.
