SINGAPORE - The Orchard Road Business Association on Nov 15 launched its sustainability road map in a bid to make Singapore’s shopping belt more environmentally friendly.
Orba’s sustainability knowledge partner, Professor Lawrence Loh, who works as a director for the centre of governance and sustainability at the National University of Singapore, said: “The road map is not just a small, little set of action items for businesses in Orchard Road, but is in alignment and convergence with global trends and local impact.”
An Orba spokesperson said that while having 25 members is a good start, the challenge with any new initiative is that time is needed for it to gain traction. Since 2022, the association has held over 50 engagement sessions with stakeholders to get a balanced view of the situation and develop the final road map.
To reduce its water footprint, Grand Hyatt Singapore and Pan Pacific Singapore harvest rainwater for non-potable water that is used for the hotel’s landscape irrigation system, cooling tower and flushing of toilets.
