This achievement highlights the effectiveness of energy efficiency strategies across its properties.
In terms of waste management, the Company recorded a 2,5% reduction or equivalent to 44 tons in total managed waste compared to the previous year.

The usage of recycled water in the area increased to 47,8% of total operational needs, up significantly from 29,8% in 2023 and 25,5% in 2022. According to Theresia, this increase reflects Intiland’s consistency in managing natural resources responsibly and sustainably.
“Commitment toward sustainability goes beyond environmental efforts. Intiland also places social responsibility as a vital part of its business operations. Throughout 2024, a total of 735 local workers were employed in projects across Jakarta, Tangerang, Batang, and Surabaya,” Theresia said.
Intiland’s projects have created employment opportunities both directly through company operations and indirectly through tenant activities. In addition, customer satisfaction remains a priority. According to a 2024 survey, satisfaction with Intiland’s products and services reached 80%, same as the previous year. This serves as a key indicator of consistent service quality.

These initiatives include building public infrastructure, providing education assistance and donations, and youth empowerment programs such as the Intiland Youth Panel.
