We prioritize Green & Energy and Well-Being in our project developments, paying attention to the environment in every aspect, especially in Energy Saving to ensure our buildings use energy efficiently and meet standards. We incorporate Innovation and Design Thinking, such as installing Solar Rooftops, adding insulation to reduce heat entering buildings, maximizing natural light in our centers, and increasing green spaces throughout our projects. This also leads to the initiation of new models for developing shopping centers in a Semi-Outdoor format, which has been successful in Bangkok and other provinces where we have developed projects."

In 2021, Central Pattana's shopping centers met the performance assessment criteria for energy efficiency, the MEA Index (Management of Energy Achievement Index) from MEA, and the Indoor Air Quality (IAQ) assessment criteria, winning the MEA Energy Awards for energy-efficient buildings in 2021 across 11 buildings, including 10 shopping malls: CentralWorld, Central Westgate, Central Chaengwattana, Central Pinklao, Central Rama 2, Central Rama 3, Central Bangna, Central Rattanathibet, Central Ramindra, Central EastVille, and 1 office building: centralwOrld Offices.

Through energy-saving measures, such as using clean energy by installing Solar Rooftops on shopping mall roofs, switching to high-efficiency chillers that use refrigerants that reduce global warming impacts by up to 700 times, and installing LED lights and LED Motion Sensors in emergency exits and parking areas, we are committed to sustainability.
