Today, after implementing various sustainable interventions, Vodacom officially launched its newly refurbished Century City building in Cape Town.

There is a direct link between the stability of an economy and ongoing development – and currently the local construction and property industries are undeniably experiencing a lull due to reduced expenditure by government on large scale infrastructure projects as well as uncertainty in the private sector investment markets.

Financial services company Old Mutual and retailers Ackermans and the Clicks Group have been recognised by the City of Cape Town and its partners for helping to make sustainable progress possible as a result of their efforts to reduce their energy consumption.

As far as buzzwords go, “green” has been having a pretty good run, with the world becoming more and more aware of climate change and the impact we’re having on our planet.

Growthpoint Properties has won the first ever International Lighting Project of the Year at the 2014 Lux Awards announced in London.

Leading construction materials group, AfriSam, has become the first construction materials company to sign the 49M pledge.

Growthpoint Properties Limited is taking another bold green step by replacing all of its light fittings in its office portfolio using the latest energy-saving technology. 

Commercial and industrial enterprises are constantly on the lookout for meaningful ways of reducing energy consumption for both economic and environmental reasons.
