In March 2024, Mapletree marked the culmination of a successful collaboration with students from the Singapore University of Technology and Design (SUTD) who had transformed salvaged materials into repurposed timber benches. This initiative underscores Mapletree\u2019s unwavering commitment to sustainability and environmental responsibility. The transformed benches were the result of timber planks harvested when Mapletree re-decked the Sky Park of VivoCity, Singapore in 2016, and Mapletree\u2019s support of S$102,000 to SUTD.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This initiative instils a sense of ownership towards the benches for the students, and emphasises the importance of circularity value of preserving resources and minimising waste. Also, by repurposing these timber planks, the Group did not have to source for virgin wood, thus minimising Mapletree\u2019s environmental footprint.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The benches serve not only as functional pieces of furniture for public use but also as symbols of Mapletree\u2019s collective responsibility to protect and preserve the environment for future generations.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
