Sunway Property has become the first developer to collaborate with Majlis Bandaraya Iskandar Puteri (MBIP), signing a Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) to spearhead low-carbon initiatives within the designated Low Carbon Zone at Sunway City Iskandar Puteri. This strategic relationship underlines both institutions’ shared commitment to achieving the Iskandar Puteri Climate Action Plan 2030 (IPCAP 2030), which aims to create a sustainable and eco-friendly metropolitan environment.
The collaboration marks a strategic alignment between Sunway Property and MBIP, focusing on sustainability, innovation, and the enhancement of urban living for the township of SCIP. Together, they will implement key initiatives, including integrating smart city technologies to curb carbon emissions, exploring green architectural designs, and promoting eco-friendly transportation solutions that redefine the urban experience in SCIP.
“At Sunway Property, we are dedicated to leading the way in sustainability by introducing innovative, low-carbon solutions that align with our environmental commitments. This partnership with MBIP strengthens our efforts in building a model township that not only embraces green practices but also actively works towards achieving the goals set out in the IPCAP 2030. Our mission is clear – to create a vibrant, low-carbon city while contributing to Sunway Group’s broader vision of achieving net-zero emissions by 2050,” said Mr Gerard Soosay, Chief Executive Officer of SCIP.
The MOU further emphasises Sunway Property’s commitment to the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), including Goal 11: Sustainable Cities and Communities. Sunway Property’s commitment to creating vibrant communities that prioritise sustainability and innovation for future generations is strengthened by its advocacy for more inclusive, resilient, and sustainable urban settings.
In addition to these advances, the MOU emphasizes the importance of Communication, Education, and Public Awareness (CEPA) in instilling a low-carbon attitude in people, businesses, and the larger society. Sunway Property’s public outreach strives to foster a culture of sustainability by emphasising the importance of each individual’s contribution in decreasing carbon footprints – an essential component of Sunway Group’s long-term objective of achieving net-zero emissions by mid-century.
“This collaboration with Sunway City Iskandar Puteri reinforces our mutual dedication to building a low-carbon, sustainable future. By incorporating smart technologies and sustainable practices, we are not only reducing emissions but also improving the overall quality of life for residents. This MOU represents a key milestone outlined in the Iskandar Puteri Climate Action Plan 2030,” said Dato’ Haji Mohd Haffiz bin Haji Ahmad, Mayor of MBIP.
Beyond infrastructure improvements, the partnership will also focus on community engagement through educational programs, exhibitions, and sustainability-driven initiatives aimed at inspiring both awareness and action. The continuous evaluation of these efforts will ensure that Sunway Property and MBIP remain aligned with both local and international sustainability goals – further positioning Sunway City Iskandar Puteri as a model for the next generation of smart, sustainable cities.
This MOU also coincides with Sunway City Iskandar Puteri’s 10th anniversary celebration, marking a decade of sustainable development and innovation for the township.
