IOI Properties Continues Sustaining Nature In Various Developments

KUALA LUMPUR, Sept 9 (Bernama) -- IOI Properties Group Bhd (IOIPG) continues to uphold its track record as an environmentally conscious community builder with its various developments within Bandar Puteri Puchong and Bandar Puchong Jaya.

These include eco-friendly features and excellent connectivity in launches such as 2 Rio Office Park and 2Rio Residence in IOI Rio, as well as a range of public engagement and awareness events like the City Nature Challenge (CNC) 2024, CNC Kids Nature Walk, Town Park Night Walk, Earth Hour and Waste to Treasure campaigns. 

Its senior general manager (Puchong) Chung Nyuk Kiong said IOIPG encouraged the adoption of sustainable lifestyles by putting the appropriate ‘hardware’ in place throughout its residential and commercial projects, including solar panels, electric vehicle charging points, bike-friendly lanes, and more.

“We also foster a wider understanding and appreciation of nature and sustainability through fun and interactive sessions on the ground, encouraging the community to be part of ecological conservation and benefit from nature-based solutions together.

“These sessions have drawn strong support from the public, drawing a wide range of participants,” he said in a statement today.

Chung added that IOIPG’s latest programme in Puchong, the Nature Observation Night, was held in Bandar Puteri Town Park on Sept 7, in collaboration with the Society of Wilderness Malaysia (SOWM) and drew more than 100 participants to the urban park to observe its flora and fauna.

Furthermore, he said IOIPG has crafted its launches in Bandar Puteri Puchong and Bandar Puchong Jaya with sustainability principles in mind throughout the construction and operational phases, including the use of system formwork in 98 per cent of development for 2Rio Residence, thus reducing material waste.

“Other sustainable development initiatives include utilising self-climbing platform systems in IOI Rio. These enhance speed & safety as well as quality control for external finishes.

“In the operational phase, we enable energy efficiency and invest in renewable energy, reducing greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions with solar-powered CCTV timed lighting for common areas and motion-activated escalators, along with abundant landscape to provide shade and reduce urban heat island effects,” said Chung.
