Driving Collective Climate Action: Mapletree’s Earth Hour and Earth Day 2025 Initiatives

In celebration of Earth Day 2025, Mapletree reiterated its commitment to environmental education, community engagement and sustainable living through a series of coordinated activities across its corporate offices and properties.

The Eco‑Treasure Hunt at Temasek Polytechnic in Singapore saw 35 Mapletree staff and 125 students participating in sustainability‑themed games at stations covering renewable energy, sustainable transport, sustainable foods and more. These activities collectively increased climate awareness and encouraged adoption of environmentally responsible habits.

Mapletree also organised a screening of the award-winning film Wasted for its staff, tenants and partners. Following the screening that highlighted Asia’s escalating waste crisis, invited speakers, Ms Lorraine Koh from MoNo.SG and Mr Paul Lee from Plastify, led a panel discussion on reducing waste through everyday actions, raising awareness of the distinction between near-expiry and best-before-date food.

Mapletree properties globally affirmed their sustainability commitment by switching off all unnecessary lights in non-essential areas for at least an hour during Earth Hour. In addition, Mapletree also adopted measures such as raising air-conditioning temperatures, switching off lights in main lobbies and common areas at specific time periods, and extinguishing facade and decorative lighting overnight.
