In line with our commitment towards environmental sustainability, CDL has all core divisions and supporting operations conforming to ISO 14001 Environmental Management System (EMS).

Based on the Plan-Do-Check-Act cycle, the EMS forms an integral part of CDL’s overall management system and is certified against the international ISO 14001 standard. It is used as a structured and systematic approach to:

	identify and control the environmental impact of CDL’s activities, products or services
	continually improve CDL’s environmental performance
	implement a systematic approach to set and measure environmental objectives and targets

The integration of EMS into CDL’s business processes began as early as 2003. CDL’s Projects Division took the lead and achieved ISO 14001 EMS and OHSAS 18001 Occupational Health and Safety Management System certifications for property development and project management in 2003 – the first private property developer in Singapore to achieve this.

Subsequently, CDL’s Property & Facilities Management Division was awarded ISO 9001 Quality Management System (QMS) and ISO 14001 EMS certifications for property management in 2007.

In April 2008, CDL completed the ISO 14001: 2004 assessment for Corporate Management and Operations. This covers all headquarter activities of Group Finance and Accounts, Corporate Affairs, Projects Division, Property & Facilities Management Division, Marketing/Leasing, Information Systems, Business Development and Asset Management and Internal Audit.
