Two Caltex stations receive a Platinum certification from GreenRE

KUALA LUMPUR: Chevron Malaysia Ltd has achieved notable recognition for two of its Caltex stations located at Ayer Keroh PLUS R&R Southbound and Northbound.

In a statement today, the company, which markets the Caltex retail brand in Malaysia, said both stations were the first in Malaysia to receive the Platinum certification under the Existing Non-Residential Building category.

GreenRE awarded the certifications, Malaysia's leading green-building certification body, recognised by the government. 

The GreenRE certified Caltex service stations represent a station model focused on cost efficiency in lowering carbon intensity supporting its business.

Country chairman Jay Gomez said the accomplishment represents a future model for service stations that can be expanded throughout the Caltex network.

The company looks at solutions to operate with improved efficiencies in energy and water management.

"We are honoured to receive the highest accreditation from GreenRE," he said.

GreenRE chairman Datuk Seri FD Iskandar said the Chevron team worked diligently to ensure high scores were met in all the six environmental impact categories.

"We look forward to collaborating with Chevron to pave the way with well-designed Caltex service stations that are future-ready for Malaysia's Sustainability Roadmap," he said.

With a stringent scoring system, GreenRE undertakes an assessment of a development's measures in place, and the development must acquire an overall score of 90 points or above to obtain the GreenRE Platinum certificate.

As part of the assessment, the two Caltex stations achieved high scores in six environmental impact categories - energy efficiency, water efficiency, sustainable operation and management, indoor environmental quality, and other green features and carbon emission reduction.
