In January, Sino-Ocean Taikoo Li Chengdu was awarded a 'triple' LEED EBOM ("Existing Buildings: Operations and Maintenance") v4.1 Platinum certification by the US Green Building Council. This certification recognises the mall's sustainable operations and management. It also acknowledges building standards that address energy efficiency, water conservation, site selection, material selection, day lighting and waste reduction issues, to offer maximum benefit to the environment and building occupants.
Sino-Ocean Taikoo Li Chengdu was the first LEED EBOM v4.1 certified shopping mall in China and is the world's first open-plan, lane-driven and retail-led mixed-use development to be awarded Platinum certification, demonstrating Swire Properties' commitment to putting environmental considerations at the heart of its business model.
