Sunway’s Green Township
Source: Sunway – Sunway City
Sunway sets the benchmark for green townships, emphasizing environmental responsibility and community well-being. A green township, by Sunway's definition, is a thoughtfully planned and designed development that addresses ecological and social impacts while promoting urban regeneration. Sunway City Kuala Lumpur (SCKL) and Sunway City Iskandar Puteri exemplify this commitment, having received green certification from the Green Building Index (GBI), signifying their adherence to stringent environmental standards. Sunway's Green Building Policy, established in 2022, serves as a guiding beacon for sustainable designs and resource management. The policy focuses on improving resource efficiency — energy, water, and materials — while minimizing the environmental impact during a building's lifecycle. Looking ahead, Sunway pledges to develop all new townships and buildings, starting from 2025, as green-certified, aligning with its dedication to reducing the overall negative impact of built environments. Sunway's commitment to sustainability has earned it numerous accolades, including Diamond recognition from the Subang Jaya City Council, Top 10 Green Buildings of the Decade Awards, and the Malaysia Institute of Planners Low Carbon City Award. The next sections will delve into specific strides, from energy and water efficiency to enhanced transportation and connectivity, reflecting Sunway's comprehensive approach towards creating environmentally responsible and interconnected urban spaces.
