PropertyGuru Group, Southeast Asia's leading PropTech company, has released its 2025 Sustainability Report titled "Meeting Change with Resilience," documenting a 36% year-on-year reduction in total market-based emissions and the regional expansion of tools promoting greener and more inclusive homes. The report highlights progress across three interconnected pillars: Sustainable Living, Thriving Communities, and Responsible Business.
Climate Action: 36% Emissions Reduction and Science-Based Targets
PropertyGuru achieved a 36% reduction in total market-based emissions in 2025, driven primarily by a decline in Scope 3 emissions, which constitute the majority of the Group's footprint. The company also maintained net-zero market-based Scope 2 emissions for the second consecutive year by 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 Tools Expand Across Southeast Asia
PropertyGuru continues to integrate sustainability features into its property platforms to help consumers make informed choices. In Singapore, the Green Score rates properties based on proximity to public transport and recognised green building certifications. According to a survey, 70% of property seekers in Singapore say sustainability features influence their home-buying decisions. In Thailand, DDproperty's Sustainable Living filter allows users to search for listings with solar panels and electric vehicle charging stations. In Malaysia, PropertyGuru plans to introduce a sustainability-related search feature in 2026, shaped by property seeker expectations. These tools translate consumer demand into market signals, helping developers and agents understand the growing value of sustainable features.
Inclusive Housing: 'Everyone Welcome' Gains Traction
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 seen significant adoption. 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 introduced in Malaysia, where 4% of listings were tagged within six months—a strong early signal given the shorter timeframe. Platform safeguards supporting inclusive housing include advertisement guidelines, a language moderation tool, and a reporting mechanism for unfair practices.
People and Workplace: Top Employer Recognition and Diverse Workforce
PropertyGuru was recognised as a Top Employer in Singapore by the Top Employers Institute, reflecting its 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 its employee value proposition 'Be More, Be a Guru,' PropertyGuru invested in skills development across communication, resilience, performance, and AI, including Learning Fest 2025 and its Management 201 programme. Community impact extended beyond the office via the Gurus For Good employee volunteering programme, which delivered initiatives such as 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.
Future Outlook
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. The 2025 Sustainability Report is available on the PropertyGuru Group website.
