KUALA LUMPUR: S P Setia Bhd received the Diamond Design awards for its townships, Setia Eco Templer in Rawang and Setia Warisan Tropika in Sepang, at the Low Carbon City Awards 2023 recently.

The accolade, according to S P Setia senior executive vice president Datuk Yuslina Mohd Yunus, is a testament to the company’s diligence in making sure that all of its developments produce minimal carbon emissions.

  “This is an impetus for us to further integrate Setia’s innovative, low-carbon design solutions across all our developments for our communities in the long-term,” she added.

  Perched on a 129.96-acre parcel in Sepang’s Bandar Baru Salak Tinggi lies Setia Warisan Tropika. It will be completed by 2030 and include two commercial plots, 1,274 residential apartments, and a clubhouse.

By 2029, the 194-acre Setia Eco Templer in Rawang, surrounded by Bukit Takun, Templer Park, and Kanching forest reserves, will have 1,339 residential units.

   The two townships were awarded and credited based on their implementation of the Low Carbon City Framework (LCCF), which includes key elements of energy, mobility, water, waste, and greenery, and their key efforts in low-carbon efficiencies, sustainable site planning, materials, resources, and innovations.

The event saw the presentation of 85 Diamond Awards, celebrating achievements in carbon emission reduction across relevant industries.

  It was organised by the Malaysian Green Technology and Climate Change Corporation, an agency of the Ministry of Natural Resources, Environment, and Climate Change, in conjunction with the Low Carbon Cities 2030 Challenge.
