THE people behind City Square mall do not want people just to think about shopping.

They also want folk - and tenants in the mall too - to think clean and green.

City Square, owned by property giant City Developments, is the first shopping centre here to join a scheme called Partnership to Activate the Community to Treasure the Environment (Pact).

This initiative by the National Environment Agency and the Central Singapore Community Development Council (CSCDC) was launched at the mall in Kitchener Road on Saturday by Deputy Prime Minister Wong Kan Seng.

Pact aims to encourage establishments to adopt eco-friendly measures and promote environmental awareness.
