As a responsible developer, Tropicana is aware of the environmental impacts resulting from our core operations. We utilise raw materials to construct buildings on our landbanks which inevitably impacts the natural environment to a certain extent. The Group adheres to strict environmental and development guidelines and regulations set by public agencies such as the Department of Environment (“DOE”), Town and Country Planning Department (“PLANMalaysia”) and local governments in all our development projects. Our Project Division and contractors employ good environmental management practices throughout the construction phase. Eco-friendly features are incorporated into the buildings and landscapes in our townships to reduce air, land, water and sound pollution and waste as well as conserve energy, water and biodiversity. In line with Malaysia’s ambition to become carbon neutral by 2050, Tropicana has taken some steps to lower the Group’s greenhouse gas emissions, including installing energy-efficient features, solar panels and wind turbines in our developments. Beyond reducing our carbon footprint, the Group is also concerned with the impact of anthropogenic climate change such as increased rainfall and sea level rise on our development projects and communities. We are in the midst of ascertaining the Group’s Scope 1 to 3 emissions and are undertaking appropriate climate mitigation and adaptation strategies.
