Uplifting communities to fight climate change

WITH aspirations to build a sustainable future, IOI Properties Group remains cognisant of the impacts of climate change on communities and the environment.

To further support the realisation of these goals, IOIPG has created four sustainability strategic themes to guide all of its following programmes and initiatives aimed at changing mindsets, inspiring women, grooming young urbanites and promoting urban green to protect the environment.In order to create awareness and generate conversation on waste minimisation, biodiversity appreciation, as well as climate change mitigation and adaptation, IOIPG rolled out the IOI Connects to Earth campaign.

IOI Connects to Earth also invests in community programmes that are aligned to its campaign in schools and neighbourhoods within its townships, in which many of its community investments are focused on youths.

For 2022, its Earth Hour theme was Fight Climate Change with #TeamIOI, whereby it conducted a competition to encourage its social media followers to take photos of themselves fighting climate change, such as planting trees, recycling or reducing electricity consumption. On top of that, the group collaborated with a local university in the International Youth Development Virtual Conference . The virtual conference, which was fully sponsored by IOIPG, centred around the theme of sustainable urban development.

An initiative that exemplifies this is IOIPG’s 2021 launch of the KITACycle Recycling Centre at IOI Mall Puchong. The items were repurposed in an actual spinning ferris wheel, Christmas trees and display boxes – earning it the title of the Largest Christmas Decoration of a Building Using Recycled Materials by the Singapore Book of Records.IOIPG’s efforts go beyond just internal initiatives and programmes, extending to external undertakings to better the communities it serves.

It has since upcycled around 700kg of fruit peels into approximately 2,000 litres of cleaning enzymes, which are then given out to its patrons. Among the six entrepreneur mentees under the IOI Kickstart programme, initiated by IOIPG in 2020, is Arus Oil, which converts collected used cooking oil into biodiesel.
