- 94.8% of waste diverted from landfill
- 4,530 kL water replenished through rainwater harvesting
- 100% campuses free of single-use plastics
What We Focus On
Our environmental sustainability approach covers every environmental dimension—from emissions and energy use to water, waste, and biodiversity. These initiatives are crucial as we confront the climate crisis with resilience, innovation, and accountability.
Renewable energy, electrified systems, and high-efficiency tech help optimize energy consumption and accelerate carbon footprint reduction.
Rain harvesting, closed-loop reuse, and efficient fixtures helping our progress toward water neutrality.
We compost, recycle, and reclaim materials—keeping as much as possible out of landfills.
Every site is designed or retrofitted for low impact, smart resource use, and leading green-building standards.
