On 20 August, CDL celebrated 20 tenants who successfully achieved a 10% reduction in energy consumption over the past year at the inaugural CDL City Green Tenant Bonus (CGTB) Programme Awards Ceremony.

The event, held at Tower Club, was graced by Minister of State for National Development and Trade & Industry, Mr Alvin Tan, and co-organised with the Singapore Green Building Council (SGBC). As part of the programme, SGBC also introduced two new initiatives to tenants — the Go25 Movement and Pledge, and the upcoming Green Mark for Interiors scheme, which will be launched on 1 November.

While CDL continues to invest in green building infrastructure across its properties, the Group recognises that collective action is essential in driving meaningful climate action. With this in mind, the CGTB programme was piloted in July 2024 at Republic Plaza, becoming the first initiative by a developer to provide tenants with rebates for achieving energy savings. To further support participants, CDL also offers tailored advisory services and best practice resources to help tenants realise sustainable reductions.

One year on, the pilot has delivered encouraging results:

• Over 100 Republic Plaza tenants participated in the programme.
• 15% of participating tenants successfully achieved a 10% reduction in energy use, while many others came close to the target.

Encouraged by this momentum, CDL plans to gradually expand the CGTB programme to more commercial properties, starting with Quayside Isle, to engage a wider network of tenants in the shared journey towards decarbonisation.
