Summary
CapitaLand Investment’s 2025 sustainability report said it has cut Scope 1 and 2 carbon emissions intensity 18.3% since 2019, alongside declines in energy use, water consumption and waste intensity across its growing portfolio.
The report tied that progress to portfolio-wide execution: 66% of assets held green building certification in 2025, and renewable energy procurement was expanded across more than 130 properties globally.
S$5.7 billion of sustainable finance raised in 2025 lifted cumulative sustainable financing to about S$26 billion since 2018, linking funding conditions to ESG ratings, green certifications and resource-reduction targets.
CLI said its 2030 plan targets a 46% absolute cut in Scope 1 and 2 emissions by 2030 on a 1.5°C pathway, with net-zero emissions targeted by 2050.
Beyond green certifications, how is CLI protecting its portfolio from the financial shocks of climate events and strict new emissions laws?
With executive pay tied to green targets, what ensures genuine decarbonization over metrics that could mask rising absolute emissions?
As AI's energy demand soars, how will real asset managers reconcile net-zero goals with the growth of power-hungry data center tenants?
