DRIVING A SUSTAINABLE RETAIL ECOSYSTEM THROUGH IMPACTFUL GREEN LEASE PARTNERSHIPS

1 Utama’s Green Lease is a mall-wide initiative where we actively work alongside our retailers to gain recognition for their sustainability efforts as part of our shared ESG aspirations.

Through our Green Lease partnerships and active dialogues with our valued tenants, our path towards decarbonization is what drives us to build a sustainable mall ecosystem for future generations.

1 Utama is proud to partner with GreenRE, Malaysia’s leading green building certification body, on our Green Lease journey. GreenRE offers an internationally recognized framework to assess the environmental credentials of green buildings, including retail projects in Malaysian malls across a four (4) tier scale – Bronze, Silver, Gold and Platinum.

Leading by example, 1 Utama is proud to have achieved the prestigious GreenRE Platinum Certification (the highest rating under GreenRE), making us the first Platinum rated shopping mall in Malaysia. Through our Green Lease programme, our participating retailers will be granted the GreenRE Bronze Certification upon meeting the fast-tracked GreenRE rating compliance requirements. Retailers are encouraged to pursue higher ratings beyond the minimum Bronze certification.

Benefits of a Sustainability-Certified Retailer:
✅ Lower long-term operational costs
✅ Reduced carbon footprint
✅ Access to tax incentives
✅ Stronger brand reputation

We are proud to celebrate our Sustainability-Certified Retailers for successfully achieving their GreenRE Retail Certification. Each certified outlet has shown great commitment towards adopting sustainable best practices.
