PERENNIAL REAL ESTATE HOLDINGS LIMITED
Annual Report 2015
Currently, bicycle parking lots are conveniently located
within the car parks of AXA Tower and TripleOne
Somerset. Capitol Singapore and TripleOne Somerset
also have in place designated electric vehicle charging
stations.
In support of the annual global ‘Earth Hour’ campaign,
TripleOne Somerset joined hands with its tenants to raise
awareness on climate change and environmental issues
by switching off the lights for one hour on 28 March 2015.
OPERATIONS
At Perennial’s operating properties, the monthly
consumption of electricity and water are monitored,
tracked and reported to management on a regular basis.
Recycling bins are also conveniently placed at strategic
locations within the buildings to encourage proper
disposal of waste materials.
We proactively encourage our tenants to use
environmentally-friendly products which are certified by
the relevant certification authority, including partitions,
furniture, carpets, wall coverings and paint, in the
renovation of their premises. Tenants are also advised
to install energy-efficient lightings to minimise energy
consumption.
At Perennial Qingyang Mall, shoppers receive
electronic brochures and digital shopping vouchers in
place of paper marketing materials. The introduction
of the electronic parking system at Perennial Jihua
Mall eliminated the printing of paper receipts via the
traditional parking receipt issuance system. These
initiatives not only lowered the malls’ operating costs,
but also minimised the usage of paper-based products.
URBAN GREENERY
We take pride in creating a clean and green environment
at our developments. At CHIJMES, extensive landscaping
works were carried out which involved the preservation
of existing trees and planting of new trees to provide
good sun shading. At other properties, such as Capitol
Singapore, TripleOne Somerset, AXA Tower, Perennial
Jihua Mall and Perennial Qingyang Mall, green roof
gardens and sky terraces were introduced to provide our
stakeholders with the much needed green spaces in the
increasingly built-up urban environment.
ENVIRONMENT, HEALTH AND SAFETY
Creating a healthy and safe workplace environment for
our people remains a top priority. We have established a
framework for Perennial staff, where safety risks involved
in the execution of daily operations are communicated
and various control measures are put in place to minimise
workplace injuries.
When accidents are reported to the respective property
management offices, Perennial staff have been guided
to focus on the injured. For all accidents, the details are
comprehensively recorded and the incidents thoroughly
investigated to prevent recurrence where possible.
We work closely with all of our stakeholders to create a
safe work environment. Stakeholders at our properties are
required to participate in the bi-annual fire drill exercises.
In addition, tabletop exercises are also conducted twice
a year, where we attend the meetings together with the
tenants and fire safety managers to discuss and review
the fire safety requirements of the respective buildings.
Separately, our main contractors are selected based
on their proven track records and having the relevant
professional certifications, such as OHSAS 18001 and
ISO 14001, to heighten on-site safety assurance and
align with our goal to minimise environmental footprint.
