Attacq, Nedbank CIB welcome Mall of Africa’s EDGE certification
Mall of Africa has achieved the Excellence in Design for Greater Efficiencies Advanced Certification
JSE-listed real estate investment trust Attacq, the strategic development partner of Waterfall City, has announced that its flagship retail asset, Mall of Africa, has achieved the Excellence in Design for Greater Efficiencies (EDGE) Advanced Certification.
This milestone, achieved through ongoing collaboration with Nedbank Corporate and Investment Banking (CIB), makes Mall of Africa the first shopping centre in South Africa to receive EDGE certification and the largest global real estate asset to achieve this sustainability accreditation, covering a total of 484 800 m².
EDGE is a globally recognised building certification that sets a benchmark for resource efficiency, focusing on reductions in energy, water, and embodied carbon in materials.
This recognition confirms that Mall of Africa operates with significantly lower energy and water consumption than comparable buildings, Attacq points out.
“The mall’s efficiencies save enough energy annually to power nearly 27 800 homes and reduce water consumption by 28% annually. The operational CO₂ savings equate to the emissions of 2 100 passenger cars annually,” says Attacq sustainability, infrastructure and land head Lourens du Toit.
“At Attacq, sustainability is central to our strategy for creating long-term stakeholder value. Over the past decade, we’ve integrated ESG principles into our operations to benefit communities and the environment. Achieving EDGE Advanced certification for Mall of Africa is a significant milestone in our pursuit of smarter, safer and more sustainable spaces,” Du Toit highlights.
Attacq and Nedbank CIB have called on other developers and businesses to also drive sustainable progress.
