Frasers Property eyes being carbon-free by 2050

The company revealed five sustainability-related goals.

Real estate and property management company Frasers Property has revealed its commitment to be a net-zero carbon corporation by 2050 in its latest sustainability report.

The move will be aligned with the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals and the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change's recommendation, as the real estate industry contributed 39% of energy- and process-related emissions.

According to a media release, all of Frasers Property’s businesses would have “completed the development of their net-zero carbon roadmaps and carbon reduction targets using a science-based approach, and progressively implement strategies to achieve net-zero carbon by 2050.” Some of the businesses were expected to meet their respective targets before 2050, with one as early as in 2028.

The Singapore arm will be one of the businesses to complete its climate risk assessment aligned with Frasers Property’s overall sustainability goals, Frasers Property added.

“Sustainability is one of our core capabilities and we are targeting carbon neutrality across our properties by 2050, which is part of five sustainability goals driving our group-wide businesses,” Panote Sirivadhanabhakdi, group chief executive officer of Frasers Property, said. “We have further mapped out a sustainability roadmap to incorporate environmentally and socially friendly practices throughout the entire value chain—from investment to design, development and operations—with a focus on carbon reduction, energy efficiency, and innovative solutions.”

A NOTE FROM SINGAPORE BUSINESS REVIEW

The people you want to reach are already in this room.

Every quarter, SBR lands on the desks of the founders, CFOs, and directors running Asia's most consequential companies. Every day, they open our newsletter and read our website. It's a room that took twenty years to build — and it's the one most of our partners are trying to get into.

The good news is that the door is open. We work with companies on thought leadership articles, sponsored content, industry summits across Southeast Asia, regional awards programmes, podcasts, and media placements in print and digital. The shape of the right partnership depends on what you're trying to do, which is why we'd rather start with a conversation than send a rate card.


If you have something this room should know about, tell us. We'll tell you honestly whether we can help, and how.

No rate cards until we understand the brief. It's a better use of everyone's time.
