SUSTAINABILITY FRAMEWORK
In April 2015, Sunway REIT formalised its Sustainability Framework which outlines its strategic commitment to sustainability focus and practices. It is an integral part of our approach to risk management. The framework promotes transparency and accountability while having a positive impact to the people and environment. It also encourages our business units to conduct business in a sustainable manner by promoting sound environmental and social practices.

The framework aligns our strategy and initiatives in the execution of sustainability initiatives. Key measurables have been incorporated to evaluate the effectiveness of these initiatives.
