SINGAPORE – <\/strong>Mapletree Investments (\u201cMapletree\u201d or \u201cthe Group\u201d) is pleased to have successfully completed its second tree planting initiative in Singapore at Mapletree Business City (\u201cMBC\u201d) on 14 August, further intensifying its sustainability efforts to plant at least 100,000 trees by 2030.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The tree planting event was kicked off by Mapletree\u2019s Chairman, Mr Edmund Cheng and Non-Executive Chairman and Director of MPACT Management Ltd., Mr Samuel Tsien. The occasion witnessed the participation of more than 100 individuals, including tenants from MBC and mTower, as well as Mapletree employees and Board members. Over 60 trees and shrubs were planted within MBC during the event.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Said Mr Cheng: \u201cWe are honoured to have our stakeholders roll up their sleeves and participate in this meaningful cause. Tree planting helps offset carbon pollution and is one of the initiatives Mapletree has launched as our response to climate change and mitigate its potential impact on our business. We target to plant more than 10,000 trees at our assets and the communities we operate in worldwide by the end of Financial Year 2023\/2024.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In the past two years, Mapletree has planted around 3,000 trees across its assets globally. In Poland, more than 390 trees and shrubs were planted in three of Mapletree\u2019s assets: Blonie II Park, Szczecin Park and Wroclaw Park. Besides reducing greenhouse gases through carbon sequestration and reducing temperatures, trees increase biodiversity, improve air and water quality, reduce soil erosion, and lessen the strain on stormwater drainage networks.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Mr Tsien added, \u201cAt MPACT, we take a proactive approach towards sustainability, which involves collaborating with like-minded tenants with a firm commitment towards doing good. The tree planting initiative not only promotes a greener environment for tenants and visitors but also underscores our commitment as a responsible real estate owner and manager in making a positive difference towards combating climate change.\u201d <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Tenants from MBC and mTower who participated in the initiative include Google, The Hongkong and Shanghai Banking Corporation Limited (“HSBC”), Infocomm Media Development Authority (“IMDA”), SAP Asia Pte Ltd, Samsung Asia Pte Ltd and BW Epic Kosan Maritime Pte Ltd.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In April this year, the Group kicked off its inaugural Plant-a-Tree with Mapletree<\/em> event in Singapore at Mapletree Industrial Trust\u2019s newest property, Mapletree Hi-Tech Park @ Kallang Way. It saw 80 trees planted within the development.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The tree planting initiative was also part of the Group\u2019s Mapletree Community Month<\/em> in August. It is a series of activities curated for the community in MBC, mTower and Alexandra Retail Centre (“ARC”) to play a part in giving back to the community. The events are aligned with Mapletree\u2019s corporate social responsibility pillars of the arts, education, environment and health. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

MBC is a large-scale integrated office and business park with Grade A building specifications, supported by ancillary retail space, and mTower is an established integrated development with a 40-storey office block and a three-storey retail centre, ARC. Both properties are located in the Alexandra Precinct and are part of Mapletree Pan Asia Commercial Trust (\u201cMPACT\u201d)\u2019s diverse portfolio of 18 commercial properties valued at S$16.6 billion (as at 31 March 2023). <\/p>\n\n\n\n
