This initiative enables the QFC to successfully focus on reducing water usage in order to become more environmentally conscious and water smart within the workplace. As such, rainwater is stored in reserved tanks for use in cleaning the parking area, minimum housekeeping consumables are prioritized, and hand dryers are installed in lavatories to encourage a reduction in tissue paper usage. Water aerator have also been introduced in washbasin faucet to help reduce the flow and wastage of water, and less water is used for cleaning cars and the building façade.

This environmentally friendly initiative enables the QFC to raise awareness of recycling best practices within its community. For example, a waste management initiative was developed to focus on increasing employee and visitor awareness through the introduction of office segregated bins for different types of waste, along with separate recycling cages for paper and cardboard waste.
