On World Environment Day, CBD Punjab reaffirms its
dedication to protecting and preserving the environment through a series of
impactful initiatives. As the only LEED-certified project in Pakistan, CBD
Punjab is setting new benchmarks for sustainable development in the region.
Among its notable environmental efforts, CBD Punjab has successfully replanted
trees with a remarkable 100% growth rate, showcasing their commitment to
enhancing green cover and biodiversity. Additionally, around 20,000 plants have
been planted near Kalma Chowk and in CBD Punjab Lahore Prime Quaid District,
significantly contributing to the city's green infrastructure.
CBD Punjab has also dedicated 70% of its area to green
spaces, ensuring a healthier, more sustainable environment for the community.
In a bid to conserve water resources, the project has constructed rainwater
harvesting tanks, supporting water conservation and helping manage urban runoff
and mitigate flood risks. Furthermore, CBD Punjab has planted a Miyawaki forest
in the CBD Punjab Bab District and developed special green spaces in Pakistan’s
first and biggest IT city, CBD NSIT City.
This year’s World Environment Day theme, ‘land restoration,
desertification, and drought resilience,’ resonates strongly with CBD Punjab’s
mission. Imran Amin, CEO of CBD Punjab, emphasized the project's commitment,
stating, "At CBD Punjab, we believe that sustainable development is not
just an option but a responsibility. Our initiatives reflect our commitment to
environmental stewardship and our dedication to creating a greener, more
sustainable future for Pakistan. As we celebrate World Environment Day, we are
proud to lead by example and demonstrate that economic growth and environmental
preservation can go hand in hand."
CBD Punjab's LEED certification underscores its adherence to
global standards for sustainability and environmental performance, highlighting
the project's innovative approach to integrating eco-friendly practices into
urban development. As part of the World Environment Day celebrations, CBD
Punjab encourages the community to join hands in their efforts to protect the environment.
By working together, we can ensure a cleaner, greener, and more sustainable
future for generations to come.
