The REIT adopts a facilitative and supportive approach towards water sustainability. While water conservation initiatives are primarily implemented at the tenant or property-operator level, the REIT actively welcomes and enables the adoption of advanced water-efficient solutions that align with environmental best practices and long-term asset enhancement. Looking ahead, the REIT supports the future installation of smart water meters and sub-metering systems, as well as the retrofitting of water-efficient fittings such as low-flow taps and dual-flush systems, where appropriate. Over the medium term, the REIT is open to tenants implementing rainwater harvesting and greywater collection systems across its properties. In the longer term, the REIT encourages the optimisation of water reuse and leak detection systems to further enhance resource efficiency. Collectively, these tenant-led initiatives, supported by the REIT’s asset owner stance, reflect the REIT’s commitment to promoting water sustainability, reducing water-related risks, and enhancing the long-term resilience and value of its assets in the regions where it operates.
