Pioneering a Sustainable Future
for the Community
|
| Sutera goes beyond building homes. We are devoted to cultivating a community that stands the test of time. For us, sustainability means caring for people, the environment, and the future. We aspire to create a zero-waste township, aiming to minimize the waste sent to landfills and breathe new life into materials through the collective efforts of our community. To achieve these goals, we have initiated various projects.

Sutera Good Earth Project
|

Sutera Good Earth Farm
|
|
|
| Sutera Good Earth Farm (SGEF) is an initiative to spread green consciousness by feeding our loved ones with healthy, naturally farmed, and pesticide-free vegetables. This community farm focuses on converting food waste into compost for the farm and the surrounding neighbourhood’s landscaping. The composting initiative is a collaborative effort involving our F&B tenants at Sutera Mall, F&B shops at Sutera Square, and the residents in the neighbourhood.
|
|
|
| In addition to composting, our farm is home to a variety of animals, including ducks, rabbits, birds, and others. We offer guided farm tours that provide a fun and educational experience for families and children, promoting bonding and enriching children’s education through hands-on learning with nature. We have also set aside dedicated plots of land for residents to adopt or participate in growing vegetables and fruits and reconnect with Mother Earth simultaneously.

Kuru-Kuru
|
|
|
| Kuru Kuru represents “re-circulation” in Japanese. The Kuru Kuru collection point serves as a meeting place for people to bring in their “unnecessary but still usable” items, allowing others to take these items and reuse them. The concept originated from Kamikatsu, Japan, a “Zero Waste” town. Not only does Kuru Kuru give these items new life and keep them in circulation, but it also inculcates good Earth-friendly habits based on the principle that “Good habits are better than a carefree life”.
|
|
|
| Currently, Kuru Kuru’s collection point is located at Sutera Mall, Lower Ground Level beside loading bay 1.
|
|
|
| The Kuru Kuru Exchange Event is held at Sutera Good Earth Farm quarterly, on the 3rd Saturday of the month.

|
|
|
| At Sutera, we regularly hold educational talks, workshops and events to raise awareness and promote a green lifestyle to our community.
|
|
|
| Sutera Good Earth Farm is open for guided farm tours and green workshops, offering an opportunity for those interested in experiencing sustainable farming. To demonstrate our commitment to crafting a greener future for all, we have hosted several exhibitions and carnivals such as the Effective Microorganism (EM) & ME Exhibition, Good Earth Exhibition and Good Earth Carnival.
