With the collaboration, customers will be able to apply for the Standard Chartered’s green mortgage financing solutions rated “gold” or “platinum” under four listed ratings indexes.
This is in line with Sunway Property’s commitment to their green building policy, a pledge that all new buildings completed from 2025 onwards are green-certified.
“We have accelerated our drive to deliver sustainable communities by enhancing our Sunway Design and Development Architecture (SDDA) and have launched Sunway Property Pals+ this year,” said Chong Sau Min, Sunway Property senior executive director of property development for central region.
The SDDA is Sunway’s guiding philosophy that ensures sustainability, innovation, health, and wellness are at the core of their developments, enabling communities to live healthier and more sustainably.
Sunway Property Pals+ further provides customers with care and lifestyle support. Sunway Property is the property division of Sunway Group.
Standard Chartered views the collaboration as an opportunity to empower individuals making the transition to more sustainable living.
“The rising demand for green financing represents a broad opportunity for financial institutions like us to empower more people to transition to green solutions,” said Mak Joon Nien, Standard Chartered Malaysia CEO.
“The insights that we gain from their financing decisions are crucial to developing new solutions to meet the market’s sustainability needs,” he noted.
The financing scheme is the latest product being rolled out by Standard Chartered as it seeks greater involvement in sustainable development projects.
Earlier this year, the bank launched its sustainable fixed deposits scheme which references clients’ funds against assets and projects aligned to the United Nations’ Sustainable Development Goals.
At the group level, Standard Chartered has also announced targets of reaching net zero carbon emissions from their financing activity by 2050.
