"We are extremely proud to be recognised at the Smart Built Environment Awards for effectively adopting technology to make our business and communities greener”, said HP Aengaar, CEO at Provis. “Our hard work has paid off, and we have been able to deliver on our promise. Our sustainability strategy was developed in line with the United Nations Sustainability Development Goals (UN SDGs) and is cascaded across the organisation. We have introduced several technological and sustainable innovations aligned with these goals that have lowered our overall environmental footprint and positively impacted the environment, our communities, our employees and the wider community.”
