OUR ENVIRONMENT

EHS Policy

The Environmental, Health & Safety (EHS) Policy was established in 2003. This sets the strategic direction for all departments and employees towards creating a "Safe & Green" corporate culture, conserving resources and preventing pollution.

Climate Change Commitment

CDL is supportive of Singapore’s national carbon target to reduce its greenhouse gas emission by some 16% below Business-As-Usual (BAU) levels by 2020, contingent on a legally binding agreement, in which all countries implement their commitments in good faith and has set a target to reduce the Company carbon intensity emissions by 22% from baseline year 2007 and to achieve a 25% reduction by 2030.

CDL has also set a minimum target that all new developments are to be certified Singapore’s BCA Green Mark Gold^Plus rating by incorporating innovative green features to support the Singapore Government’s pledge towards sustainable development and carbon target.

Green Procurement Policy

In 2008, CDL formalised our Green Procurement Guidelines to influence our vendors and suppliers at our Corporate Office to adopt green procurement practices. The guidelines include:

• Sharing the corporate EHS Policy with new vendors and suppliers
• Indicating preference for use of eco-friendly/recycled materials and products
• Indicating preference for ISO 14001 certified vendors
• Declaring the use of eco-friendly/recycled paper in printed materials

Universal Design Policy

The Universal Design Policy, which is endorsed by CDL’s top management, provides the Company with a framework to achieve our objective of creating an inclusive built environment that caters to the needs of all age groups and people with different abilities, allowing them to live independently and enjoy access to facilities.

PLEDGE FOR ZERO — A CEO COMMITMENT CHARTER

CDL is a founding signatory of the “Pledge for Zero — A CEO Commitment Charter” which was launched at the inaugural Construction CEO Summit organised by the Workplace Safety and Health Council in November 2008. CDL adopted the pledge and committed to establish a zero injury workplace. In 2010, CDL invited our builders and consultants to sign the pledge as well and collectively commit to raising the EHS standards at our worksites in Singapore.
