Our strong foundation in ESG integration forged over two decades has been vital in future-proofing our business and preparing us for new challenges and unforeseen changes."
"In spite of a challenging year in 2020, ESG integration has remained a fundamental aspect of our business strategy and we will continue to drive sustainability to build resilience for a greener and healthier recovery," added Mr Kwek. CEO of Corporate Knights Toby Heaps noted that CDL has"remained steadfast" in its efforts to drive change in the built environment and set benchmarks for other businesses to follow despite the obstacles posed by the pandemic.
