CapitaLand: Top 30 Shortlist of Global Innovations for the Built Environment

Rare Earth Global has been shortlisted by CapitaLand in its global search for companies capable of piloting, testing and implementing new sustainable innovations across the built environment. The recognition marks an important milestone for the company as it continues to demonstrate the role hemp-based solutions can play in advancing construction decarbonisation and climate resilience.

Headquartered in Singapore, CapitaLand is one of Asia’s largest diversified real estate groups, with a presence in more than 260 cities across 45 countries. Its global reach and influence make the shortlist particularly significant, placing Rare Earth Global among a select group of innovators being recognised for their potential to help reshape the future of sustainable development at scale.

The selection process was highly competitive, with technologies evaluated from more than 70 countries. Against that backdrop, Rare Earth Global was named among the top 30 climate-resilient and resource-efficient solutions for construction decarbonisation. The achievement reflects growing international recognition of the company’s work to unlock the value of industrial hemp as a low-carbon material capable of supporting more sustainable construction systems.

For us, the shortlist is further validation of its mission to bring regenerative materials into mainstream industry. By developing practical applications for hemp across construction and other high-impact sectors, the company is helping to create alternatives that reduce emissions, improve resource efficiency and strengthen supply chain resilience. Being recognised by a global real estate leader such as CapitaLand reinforces both the commercial relevance of this work and the broader opportunity for hemp-based innovation in decarbonising the built environment.

As demand grows for solutions that can support net zero goals while delivering real operational value, we remain focused on building partnerships that can accelerate deployment. This latest recognition highlights the progress already made and points to the exciting opportunities ahead as the company continues to scale its impact internationally.
