environmental sustainability. Through a controlled
irrigation process, harvested rainwater and nutrients are
channelled towards this iconic green wall, which absorbs
environmental pollutants and elevates oxygen levels
inside the building.
This S$750,000 installation is part of a larger asset
enhancement initiative at Six Battery Road, which
became the first operating office building to receive
the Bui lding and Construction Authori ty’s Green
Mark Platinum award. We are also proud that Capital
Tower, Raffles City Singapore and One George Street
(GoldPLUS) have achieved Green Mark Gold standards;
while three other commercial properties namely, HSBC
Building, Wilkie Edge and Golden Shoe Car Park are
Green Mark certified.
Af f i rming our commi tment towards sustainable
developments, we endorsed the Green Pledge, a
CapitaLand’s group-wide objective to achieve higher
energy efficiency across its existing properties and
buildings through Green Mark certification by 2020.
Promoting water conservation
In line with our sustainability mission, we worked with
Borouge, our tenant to champion awareness for the
global shortage of fresh water, a plight affecting more
than one billion people around the world. Through a
photographic exhibition “Water for the World™ - Troubled
Waters” featuring renowned Belgian photographer Dieter
Telemans, we aspired to highlight the global water crisis,
its causes and consequences.
The exhibition was staged at One George Street, where
Borouge’s of fice is located, in conjunction with the
Singapore International Water Week from 5 to 8 July
2011. We also brought the exhibition to Capital Tower,
Six Battery Road and Wilkie Edge.

collective effort to save
energy consumption.”
