Sustainability

People are subconsciously drawn to conducive and positive neighbourhood in order to fulfil their emotional needs. One of these factors include the natural tendency to find peace in nature which is why we injected elements of nature into our mall designs to invoke a feeling of being in tune with nature. Currently geared towards the processing of food waste from food & beverage businesses in Sutera Mall, Sutera Good Earth Project aims to reduce the amount of food waste that goes out of our township. An estimated 500kg daily organic waste from Sutera Mall’s food and beverage businesses is used to create compost and applied by our landscaping team to surrounding plants as an alternative to synthetic fertilisers. By reducing outgoing waste, we hope to contribute to minimising the use of space for landfills.

Furthermore, Power and water saving are among the key environmentally friendly initiatives promoted in Sutera Mall. The Mall is also equipped with a 3 MWp solar panel system, which generates clean energy from the sun to power the Mall's operations as well as reduce its carbon emissions, helping to mitigate the effects of climate change. In addition, the Mall harvests rainwater used for watering plants, flushing, washing car parks, as well as other janitorial duties. Besides, the building itself is orientated and designed to receive maximum natural sunlight at the toilets and atriums during the day, thus eliminating the need to power artificial lights. Natural lighting coupled with the lush surrounding greenery make the area exudes a sense of calm serenity that is hard to come by in a modern-day hustle and bustle.
