PropertyGuru Group's 2025 Sustainability Report Reinforces its Commitment to More Resilient and Inclusive Urban Futures Across Southeast Asia

2026-07-08 12:09 Last Updated At:12:25

  • Commitment to set Science-Based Targets, while maintaining net-zero Scope 2 emissions through 100% renewable electricity procurement
  • Scaled inclusive housing options, with 31% of Singapore rental listings adopting "Everyone Welcome" and expansion into Malaysia
  • Made sustainable living options easier to find with feature like Green Score in Singapore and its Sustainable Living filter in Thailand
  • SINGAPORE, July 8, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- PropertyGuru Group ("PropertyGuru" or "the Group"), Southeast Asia's leading PropTech company, has released its 2025 Sustainability Report, titled Meeting Change with Resilience. The report documents a year of measurable progress, from a 36% reduction in total emissions to the regional expansion of tools that help millions of property seekers find greener, more inclusive homes.

    PropertyGuru's sustainability strategy is embedded in its Gurus For Good strategy — three interconnected pillars of Sustainable Living, Thriving Communities and Responsible Business — designed to make the Group's platforms a force for more responsible and informed property decisions across the region.

    "At PropertyGuru, we are committed to actively shaping Southeast Asia's urban future using the power of our reach," said Lewis Ng, Chief Executive Officer, PropertyGuru Group. "This report reflects how we put that commitment into action. It shows where we have made real progress and areas where we still have work to do. We are focused on making sustainability and inclusion tangible in the property journey. In the information we surface, the tools we build and the standards we help set across the ecosystem."

    Climate action: 36% emissions reduction and a commitment to science-based targets

    PropertyGuru achieved a 36% year-on-year reduction in total market-based emissions in 2025, driven primarily by a decline in Scope 3 emissions, which account for the majority of the Group's footprint. The Group also maintained net-zero market-based Scope 2 emissions for the second consecutive year, matching 100% of its office electricity consumption with Renewable Energy Certificates.

    Building on this momentum, PropertyGuru has committed to setting Science-Based Targets, a third-party validated framework for corporate decarbonisation, with formal submission planned for 2026.

    Sustainable home search: plan to expand tools to more markets in Southeast Asia

    PropertyGuru continued to provide sustainability-related features that help property seekers make more informed choices.

    • In Singapore, Green Score rates properties based on proximity to public transport and recognised green building certifications. Demand is growing: 70% of property seekers surveyed in Singapore say sustainability features influence their home-buying decisions.
    • In Thailand, DDproperty's Sustainable Living filter enables users to search for listings with features such as solar panels and electric vehicle charging stations.
    • In Malaysia, PropertyGuru plans to introduce a sustainability-related search feature in 2026, shaped by property seekers' expectations.

    These tools translate consumer demand into market signal — helping developers and agents understand the growing value of sustainable features.

    Inclusive housing: Everyone Welcome has reached 31% of rental listings in Singapore and has now been rolled out in Malaysia

    PropertyGuru's 'Everyone Welcome' feature — which enables landlords to signal that their properties are open to all renters regardless of race, gender, religion or other characteristics — has gained significant traction in Singapore since its 2024 launch.

    By end-2025, 31% of Singapore rental listings carried the 'Everyone Welcome' tag, reflecting strong and sustained adoption by landlords and agents. The feature was subsequently introduced in Malaysia, where 4% of listings were tagged within six months, a strong early signal given the shorter time frame.

    Platform safeguards supporting inclusive housing practices also include advertisement guidelines, a language moderation tool, and a reporting mechanism to report unfair practices.

    People and workplace: Top Employer recognition and a diverse workforce

    PropertyGuru was recognised as a Top Employer in Singapore by the Top Employers Institute, reflecting the Group's continued investment in people practices and employee experience.

    As of 31 December 2025, women made up 65% of the Group's workforce, with employees representing 28 nationalities. Through Be More, Be a Guru, the Group's employee value proposition, PropertyGuru invested in skills development across communication, resilience, performance and AI, including Learning Fest 2025 and its Management 201 programme.

    Community impact also extended beyond the office. Gurus For Good, the Group's employee volunteering programme, delivered initiatives in 2025 that included rebuilding a primary school in Vietnam, restoring mangroves in Thailand, and supporting community outreach in Malaysia and Singapore.

    Governance: integrated risk function and responsible AI principles

    PropertyGuru strengthened its governance structure in 2025 by integrating its Legal and Risk teams into a single function — enabling closer coordination and a more holistic approach to risk management across its multi-market operations.

    The Group also adopted a set of AI principles to guide responsible deployment of artificial intelligence across its platforms and business operations, with plans to explore AI-enabled tools to automate accessibility checks within its HIVE 2.0 design system.

    In 2026, PropertyGuru expects to submit its Science-Based Targets, launch a sustainability search feature on its Malaysia platforms, and deepen programmes that advance women's leadership and professional development across its workforce.

PropertyGuru Group's 2025 Sustainability Report Reinforces its Commitment to More Resilient and Inclusive Urban Futures Across Southeast Asia

PropertyGuru Group's 2025 Sustainability Report Reinforces its Commitment to More Resilient and Inclusive Urban Futures Across Southeast Asia

In the news release, Lazada Joins Meta's Affiliate Partnerships Programme to Streamline Social Shopping in Southeast Asia, issued 08-Jul-2026 by Lazada Group over PR Newswire, we are advised by the company that the first paragraph contains incomplete information. The complete, corrected release follows:

Lazada Joins Meta's Affiliate Partnerships Programme to Streamline Social Shopping in Southeast Asia

SINGAPORE, July 8, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- Lazada, Southeast Asia's leading eCommerce platform, has joined Meta's Facebook Affiliate Partnerships programme, enabling content creators across Singapore, Malaysia, Thailand, Indonesia, Vietnam and the Philippines to tag Lazada products directly within their Facebook and earn commissions on every completed purchase, with Instagram integration expected to follow.

The launch comes as creator-led commerce continues to reshape how Southeast Asians discover and shop online. Video commerce now accounts for approximately 25% of the region's eCommerce GMV[1], while 82% of Southeast Asian consumers purchased products based on influencer recommendations in 2024[2]. By bringing Lazada's affiliate ecosystem closer to the content people already engage with daily, the partnership creates a more direct bridge between inspiration, product discovery and purchase.

Turning Everyday Content into Earning Opportunities

Historically, the path from content to commission has involved multiple steps, from external links to app redirects to separate checkout pages, which often results in lost conversions for creators, brands, and businesses alike.

With this partnership, creators can now connect their Lazada affiliate accounts directly to Facebook today and soon on Instagram, search Lazada's product catalogue, and tag items within their content in Reels or Feed posts. When a follower clicks through and completes a purchase on Lazada, the creator earns a commission, all within a single, uninterrupted experience.

For brands and sellers on Lazada, opening their product catalogues to creators unlocks a new avenue for discovery and conversion. For shoppers, it makes product discovery more intuitive. Instead of moving from a creator's post to a separate link or searching for the item manually, they can tap directly from the content that inspired them and continue their shopping journey on Lazada.

"Through this partnership with Meta, we're making it easier for shoppers to move from discovering products on Facebook and Instagram to completing their purchase on Lazada. By creating a more seamless path from discovery to checkout, we're helping brands and sellers connect with customers more effectively while delivering a better shopping experience across Southeast Asia," said Jared Chan, Head of Regional Affiliate, Lazada Group.

Building on Lazada's Investment in Creator Commerce

The partnership with Meta builds on Lazada's broader commitment to strengthening creator commerce across Southeast Asia. In 2025, Lazada announced an annual US$100 million investment in the LazAffiliate Programme to support creators, brands and sellers through enhanced commissions, campaign incentives, personalised voucher pools, custom storefronts and performance tools.

Together with Meta's Affiliate Partnerships, this investment reflects Lazada's continued focus on making affiliate marketing more accessible, measurable and rewarding for creators, while helping brands and sellers tap into trusted creator-led product discovery across the region.

How It Works

Lazada affiliates can get started through the following steps:

1. Enable Professional Mode on their Facebook or Instagram profile

2. Navigate to Affiliate Partnerships via the Monetisation tab

3. Connect their Lazada affiliate account and complete the sign-up process

4. Begin tagging Lazada products directly in Facebook and Instagram content
