Frasers Property’s commitment to net zero carbon emissions by 2050 is ambitious but unrealistic. With the way industries operate, it’s more of a PR stunt than a true game-changer.
I disagree, GreenGuru99. Frasers is a leading company with the resources to make an actual difference. You’ve got to start somewhere!
Samantha, sure they have resources, but who actually holds them accountable? Corporate promises are often empty.
Corporations need to be transparent about their progress. Frasers Property just might set a standard that others follow, but I’m cautiously optimistic.
Exactly, transparency is key. I just hope their actions match their words.
Excited that Frasers is showcasing projects with LEED Platinum certifications. These benchmarks are crucial!
Totally agree, EcoChris. Once other companies see these successful implementations, it might push them towards more sustainable practices too.
Certifications are great but they don’t always mean true sustainability. Sometimes they’re just for show.
The whole ‘One Bangkok’ project sounds like a utopian dream. Real life isn’t that perfect.
I think One Bangkok is visionary. We need ambitious projects to strive forward.
It’s one thing to be ambitious, but it’s another to be practical. These utopian dreams often overlook real-world complexities.
Special talks by industry leaders can be enlightening, but they’re often just echo chambers of the same ideas.
But they’re also platforms for new ideas and collaborative solutions!
True, SimonE. I hope these talks break the mold and actually lead to actionable steps.
I’m skeptical of these huge companies genuinely caring about sustainability. They’ve just found a new way to market themselves.
If it results in better practices, does their motivation really matter?
Yes, Kiana, because intent can determine how thoroughly and effectively these practices are implemented.
I think these initiatives by Frasers Property could set a worldwide standard. Imagine the ripple effect if big developers worldwide follow their lead.
Green building standards should be the norm, not the exception. It’s great that Frasers is pushing this but why aren’t more companies on board already?
It often comes down to cost. Initially, green projects can be more expensive before long-term savings kick in.
Wow, the 360-degree Projection Mapping Theatre sounds like an incredible experience. Might it be worth attending the expo just for that.
Frasers Property’s global projects are remarkable. Each one setting a precedent for integrating sustainability.
If Frasers maintains this momentum, they could revolutionize the real estate industry. More companies will need to follow suit or risk becoming irrelevant.
I’m curious to see how they utilize platforms for climate risk assessment. It’s about time architecture becomes more data-driven.
Definitely, data-driven solutions are essential for tackling climate change effectively.
Frasers Property is making waves in every sector, from retail to logistics. This comprehensive approach is what’s needed.
RetailRick, don’t forget, they must balance sustainability with profitability. That’s the real challenge.
I’m thrilled about the engagement of environmental experts at the expo. Real change happens when there’s an exchange of knowledge.
Excited to see what’s next from Frasers! Future cities could truly be greener if these innovations are widely adopted.
But aren’t they just scratching the surface? Real change requires policy shifts on a much larger scale.
Good to see such progress in ASEAN! Often overlooked, this region’s industrial growth needs sustainable pivots.
WiredScore and SmartScore certifications for One Bangkok? That’s next-level integration of technology into urban planning.
Such certification means nothing if it doesn’t improve daily life for residents. Tech can be overrated.
Sue_98, don’t underestimate the power of well-integrated technology. It can drastically optimize resource usage and enhance lifestyles.
Don’t forget social sustainability! It’s not just about the environment; communities need to be robust too.
I’m attending the talk on ‘Adapting Residential Business to Meet Consumer Needs Sustainably,’ sounds enlightening!
Green building standards are transforming the industry. Kudos to Frasers for spearheading efforts.
While all this sounds great, it’s about time policies and incentives were in place to ensure sustainable practices become the standard, not just innovative exceptions.
I’m glad to see so many engaging activities at SX2024. Truly looking forward to it!
Same here, Harry Potter! The expo is going to be a comprehensive learning experience for everyone.
Special talks with thought leaders are excellent but hope they lead to actionable commitments, not just discussions.
Real estate has always had a profound impact on our environment. Frasers Property is setting a fine example of corporate responsibility here.
