CICT – Asia’s largest listed REIT – enhances green building ratings for its properties in Singapore

Singapore, November 3, 2025 -- CapitaLand Integrated Commercial Trust Management Limited (CICTML), the manager of CapitaLand Integrated Commercial Trust (CICT), is pleased to announce that The Atrium@Orchard has become the first operational office-retail building in Singapore1 to achieve the Green Mark Platinum (Super Low Energy) certification from the Building and Construction Authority (BCA). In addition, Raffles City Singapore, one of Singapore’s largest integrated developments, received the Green Mark Platinum certification, an improvement from its previous Green Mark GoldPLUS rating.

Mr Tan Choon Siang, Chief Executive Officer of CICTML, said: “CICT is committed to building a sustainable built environment by reducing carbon emissions and improving energy efficiency of the properties we manage.”  

“The higher green building ratings for The Atrium@Orchard and Raffles City Singapore underscore our dedication to sustainable asset management and operational excellence, amid increasingly stringent assessment standards by the BCA. Through forward-thinking innovation, purposeful stakeholder engagement and a robust governance framework, we are shaping a portfolio that delivers long-term value and drives a more sustainable future,” added Mr Tan. 

Setting the benchmark for sustainable buildings

The BCA Green Mark Platinum (Super Low Energy) rating recognises top-performing buildings that achieve at least 60% energy savings while meeting rigorous standards for renewable energy integration and intelligent energy management. For example, a rooftop solar photovoltaic system will be installed at The Atrium@Orchard to achieve minimum annual energy generation of 385,000 kilowatt-hour per year, equivalent to powering the annual electricity consumption of approximately 85 4-room HDB flats2.

The Atrium@Orchard’s achievement of this prestigious certification, along with Raffles City Singapore’s upgraded Green Mark certification, demonstrates CICT’s ongoing efforts to adopt energy-efficient technologies, smart building management systems and green-focused operations for operating assets. An example is the implementation of the Cooling-as-a-Service (CaaS) model at both of these properties. This innovative capital- and cost-efficient model enables significant energy savings and reduces carbon emissions while ensuring consistent indoor comfort and operational reliability. 

Other sustainability features at both properties include the installation of variable speed drives on chilled water and condenser pumps to optimise energy efficiency, and motion and photoelectric sensors to manage lighting and maximise natural daylight.

Both The Atrium@Orchard and Raffles City Singapore have been recognised for their water conservation efforts with the Water Efficient Building certification from PUB, Singapore’s National Water Agency.

As at 30 June 2025, 100% of CICT’s portfolio by gross floor area has received green ratings.  

Global recognition for CICT’s leadership in sustainability performance

CICT’s sustainability leadership extends beyond building certifications. It continues to earn recognition in global sustainability benchmarks and indices for its environmental, social and governance (ESG) excellence.

Notably, CICT has once again achieved a 5-star rating in the 2025 GRESB Real Estate Assessment, ranking among the top 20% of global participants for sustainability performance and disclosure. CICT also holds an AA rating for MSCI ESG Ratings, reflecting its robust ESG risk management practices and reporting transparency. In addition, CICT has retained its listing on the FTSE4Good Index Series for the 18th consecutive year, a mark of its strong ESG practices measured against globally recognised standards.
