KUALA LUMPUR: Asian real estate technology company, Juwai IQI is committed to achieve net zero emissions and carbon neutral certification by 2030.
Juwai IQI aim to achieve this goal by reducing its emissions impact and then offsetting any remaining carbon footprint through scientifically valid initiatives that remove carbon from the atmosphere.
Group co-founder and chief executive officer Kashif Ansari said the company wants to reduce its emissions and to build awareness and momentum across Asia for addressing climate change.
With its rapid economic growth and young population, Asia has the most to gain from taking swift action to beat climate change, said Kashif.
"We will use our journey to net zero to create an opportunity to spread awareness and help those who also want to reduce their climate impacts but don't have the information or support they need.
"That is why we are nesting our net-zero initiative within our Juwai IQI Cares program," it said.
Kashif said the company has already begun mapping and reducing its greenhouse gas emissions.
He said this emissions map will inform its emissions reduction plan, which will in turn guide the company's future action.
"We are growing so quickly that even if we dramatically reduce our carbon intensity per dollar of revenue, our total emissions would continue to rise. That is why we must become net zero.
"We are zeroing in on areas of focus that include business travel, staff commuting, energy use in our facilities and energy consumption by our remote team-members.
"Because the construction and use of real estate plays a significant role in carbon emissions, at Juwai IQI we can also help our clients and customers by supporting them in the move to more sustainable and profitable practices," he said.
