Shopping in a green shopping mall means you support the shopping mall’s effort in adopting green measures that reduce
energy consumption, carbon emissions and waste, and reduce the impact of the shopping mall on the environment.
Shopping malls and shop spaces that adopt appropriate green measures can also help provide a healthier indoor
environment for you to enjoy while shopping by providing natural light, natural ventilation and greenery for your
enjoyment. A green shopping mall or shop space should also use materials that do not emit harmful substances that may
affect your health.
Shoppers can understand what helps a shopping mall or shop to use less energy and be more environmentally friendly.
In gaining this knowledge, shoppers will be able to identify and appreciate these features and strategies.
