Commitment to set Science-Based Targets, while maintaining net-zero Scope 2 emissions through 100% renewable electricity procurementScaled inclusive housing options, with 31% of Singapore rental listings adopting “Everyone Welcome” and expansion into MalaysiaMade sustainable living options easier to find with feature like Green Score in Singapore and its Sustainable Living filter in Thailand

SINGAPORE, July 8, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — PropertyGuru Group (“PropertyGuru” or “the Group”), Southeast Asia’s leading PropTech company, has released its 2025 Sustainability Report, titled Meeting Change with Resilience. The report documents a year of measurable progress, from a 36% reduction in total emissions to the regional expansion of tools that help millions of property seekers find greener, more inclusive homes.

PropertyGuru’s sustainability strategy is embedded in its Gurus For Good strategy — three interconnected pillars of Sustainable Living, Thriving Communities and Responsible Business — designed to make the Group’s platforms a force for more responsible and informed property decisions across the region.

“At PropertyGuru, we are committed to actively shaping Southeast Asia’s urban future using the power of our reach,” said Lewis Ng, Chief Executive Officer, PropertyGuru Group. “This report reflects how we put that commitment into action. It shows where we have made real progress and areas where we still have work to do. We are focused on making sustainability and inclusion tangible in the property journey. In the information we surface, the tools we build and the standards we help set across the ecosystem.”

Climate action: 36% emissions reduction and a commitment to science-based targets

PropertyGuru achieved a 36% year-on-year reduction in total market-based emissions in 2025, driven primarily by a decline in Scope 3 emissions, which account for the majority of the Group’s footprint. The Group also maintained net-zero market-based Scope 2 emissions for the second consecutive year, matching 100% of its office electricity consumption with Renewable Energy Certificates.

Building on this momentum, PropertyGuru has committed to setting Science-Based Targets, a third-party validated framework for corporate decarbonisation, with formal submission planned for 2026.

Sustainable home search: plan to expand tools to more markets in Southeast Asia

PropertyGuru continued to provide sustainability-related features that help property seekers make more informed choices.

In Singapore, Green Score rates properties based on proximity to public transport and recognised green building certifications. Demand is growing: 70% of property seekers surveyed in Singapore say sustainability features influence their home-buying decisions.In Thailand, DDproperty’s Sustainable Living filter enables users to search for listings with features such as solar panels and electric vehicle charging stations.In Malaysia, PropertyGuru plans to introduce a sustainability-related search feature in 2026, shaped by property seekers’ expectations.

These tools translate consumer demand into market signal — helping developers and agents understand the growing value of sustainable features.

Inclusive housing: Everyone Welcome has reached 31% of rental listings in Singapore and has now been rolled out in Malaysia

PropertyGuru’s ‘Everyone Welcome’ feature — which enables landlords to signal that their properties are open to all renters regardless of race, gender, religion or other characteristics — has gained significant traction in Singapore since its 2024 launch.

By end-2025, 31% of Singapore rental listings carried the ‘Everyone Welcome’ tag, reflecting strong and sustained adoption by landlords and agents. The feature was subsequently introduced in Malaysia, where 4% of listings were tagged within six months, a strong early signal given the shorter time frame.

Platform safeguards supporting inclusive housing practices also include advertisement guidelines, a language moderation tool, and a reporting mechanism to report unfair practices.

People and workplace: Top Employer recognition and a diverse workforce

PropertyGuru was recognised as a Top Employer in Singapore by the Top Employers Institute, reflecting the Group’s continued investment in people practices and employee experience.

As of 31 December 2025, women made up 65% of the Group’s workforce, with employees representing 28 nationalities. Through Be More, Be a Guru, the Group’s employee value proposition, PropertyGuru invested in skills development across communication, resilience, performance and AI, including Learning Fest 2025 and its Management 201 programme.

Community impact also extended beyond the office. Gurus For Good, the Group’s employee volunteering programme, delivered initiatives in 2025 that included rebuilding a primary school in Vietnam, restoring mangroves in Thailand, and supporting community outreach in Malaysia and Singapore.

Governance: integrated risk function and responsible AI principles

PropertyGuru strengthened its governance structure in 2025 by integrating its Legal and Risk teams into a single function — enabling closer coordination and a more holistic approach to risk management across its multi-market operations.

The Group also adopted a set of AI principles to guide responsible deployment of artificial intelligence across its platforms and business operations, with plans to explore AI-enabled tools to automate accessibility checks within its HIVE 2.0 design system.

In 2026, PropertyGuru expects to submit its Science-Based Targets, launch a sustainability search feature on its Malaysia platforms, and deepen programmes that advance women’s leadership and professional development across its workforce.

AIWANATECH Expands Global OEM/ODM Business with Sustainable Air Care Technologies

Published

By

SEOUL, South Korea, July 8, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — AIWANATECH, a South Korean home appliance innovator specializing in air care solutions, is strengthening its global expansion strategy by leveraging its proprietary air purification technologies and OEM/ODM manufacturing capabilities. The company plans to introduce upgraded products in the second half of the year while expanding partnerships with international brands and distribution channels.

Founded in 2019, AIWANATECH develops environmentally friendly home appliances under the philosophy of creating technologies that prioritize the health and well-being of families. The company focuses on designing practical, sustainable air care products that combine innovative engineering with user-centered design.

One of AIWANATECH’s flagship innovations is the MAM Air Purifier, the world’s first air purifier designed to use commercially available automotive cabin air filters from leading brands such as 3M, Bosch, and Hyundai Mobis. Unlike conventional air purifiers that require proprietary replacement filters, the MAM Air Purifier enables consumers to source replacement filters more easily while significantly reducing maintenance costs. This design also addresses concerns over discontinued proprietary filters, extending product usability and improving long-term customer value.

Beyond cost savings, the filter compatibility concept supports global sustainability initiatives by reducing unnecessary waste associated with proprietary consumables. By encouraging the use of standardized replacement filters already available in the market, AIWANATECH’s approach aligns with growing ESG commitments and circular economy principles while delivering both environmental and economic benefits to consumers.

The company is also expanding its portfolio of steam humidifiers through its MAMCARE product line. Equipped with a detachable stainless-steel inner pot for easier cleaning and a 100°C heating system for sterilization, the humidifiers are designed to provide a safer and more hygienic indoor environment by minimizing the risk of bacterial growth.

In addition to marketing its own products, AIWANATECH has established itself as a trusted OEM and ODM manufacturing partner for home appliance brands. The company has successfully supplied air purifiers under the Hi-Made brand and developed steam humidifiers for brands including Stenpot, MAMFLEX, and Puresoom, demonstrating its ability to deliver customized solutions for diverse market needs.

Building on these achievements, AIWANATECH plans to launch enhanced versions of its air purifiers and redesigned steam humidifiers later this year. The company will also participate in domestic and international exhibitions while expanding its global distribution network to strengthen partnerships with overseas buyers and consumer electronics brands.

“Our goal is to become a trusted global OEM/ODM partner for sustainable air care solutions,” said an AIWANATECH representative. “Through continuous innovation in air technology and environmentally conscious product design, we will expand our presence in international markets and deliver healthier, smarter home appliances to consumers worldwide.”

China-Mexico Dialogue on Rail Transit Highlights Sustainable Urban Development and Cultural Cooperation

MEXICO CITY, July 8, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — On July 2, 2026, representatives from UNESCO, Chinese and Mexican government agencies, industry associations and businesses gathered in Mexico City for the China-Mexico Dialogue for a Green Future on Rail Transit, exploring how sustainable transportation can improve urban mobility while strengthening cultural ties between the two countries. Held under the theme “Green Mobility, Shared Civilizations,” the event provided a forum to exchange perspectives on the future of sustainable urban development.

Discussions centered on the role of rail transit in helping cities reduce emissions while meeting growing transportation demand. With Mexico City continuing to invest in the electrification of its transit network, participants pointed to expanding opportunities for China-Mexico cooperation on sustainable urban mobility. CRRC showcased rail systems designed for local operating conditions that also incorporate Mexican cultural elements, while UNESCO representatives cited the company’s localized ESG strategy as an example of how sustainability can be integrated into day-to-day business operations.

Wang Feng, President of CRRC Corporation Limited, said the company’s long-term strategy is to help cities build cleaner, more efficient transportation systems. In Mexico, that translates into combining advanced rail technology with localized operations and ESG practices to develop solutions that reflect local priorities.

During the event, Wang Qiaolin, Chairman of CRRC Zhuzhou Locomotive Co., Ltd., and José Luis Perea González, Deputy Director General of Mexico’s National Institute of Anthropology and History, signed a cooperation agreement establishing the China-Mexico Cultural Preservation and Communication Project.

Guests also unveiled the 2025 CRRC in Mexico Sustainability Report. Aligned with the UN 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development and Mexico’s regulatory framework, the report outlines CRRC’s ESG initiatives in Mexico and documents the low-carbon results of the company’s work on the Mexico City Metro and Light Rail systems, as well as projects in Guadalajara, Monterrey and Campeche. It also highlights transportation support provided by CRRC for the world-class soccer games.

Panel discussions focused on two themes—”Smart Mobility and Urban Resilience” and “Cultural Stewardship and Inclusive Communities.” Participants discussed how rail transit can help cities reduce emissions while improving mobility, as well as its role as a public space that brings people together and encourages cultural exchange. The event concluded with an exhibition of paintings and handicrafts created by Chinese and Mexican children, interactive demonstrations of China’s intangible cultural heritage, and performances showcasing Mexican culture.
