Samty Asia, through establishing of ESG investment fund, has resolved in pursuing the first project on investment of Green Bonds.
Based on the sustainability policy of The Samty Group under the theme of “Coexistence between people and nature”, the development and supply of Green Buildings not only adapts to diversifying social demands and tenant needs, but also economic efficiency and profitability factors, as well as consideration for energy consumption and resources. Thereby, from a medium to long-term perspective, Samty Group stays committed to our corporate values of sustainability.
In addition, we have adopted a new slogan in 2021: 「Go beyond real estate」, which highlights our aim to develop business overseas in a way that goes beyond conventional frameworks, both in terms of scale and national borders.
