First Partnership in India, Collaborating Toward Future Market Growth

TOKYO, Japan – September 16, 2025 – Tenchijin Inc., a space-tech innovator transforming sustainable water infrastructure management, has signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) with Swach Environment Private Limited (“Swach”), a leading water infrastructure company in India, on July 1, 2025. Under this MOU, Tenchijin and Swach intend to pursue Proof-of-Concept (PoC) projects in three locations — Delhi, Uttar Pradesh, and West Bengal — aimed at testing the applicability of Tenchijin’s “KnoWaterleak”, a water leakage assessment and management system, in the Indian market. The PoC initiatives are currently under consideration and will be carried out subject to government approval and support.

This agreement represents Tenchijin’s first partnership in India and establishes a foundation for future business expansion in the country.

Our Trusted Partner – Swach Environment Private Limited

Swach is a leading water infrastructure and service company based in Kolkata, West Bengal, providing integrated solutions for drinking water, wastewater, effluent, and sewage management and smart water solutions. Its expertise spans Engineering, Procurement &amp; Construction (EPC), Operations &amp; Maintenance (O&amp;M), and Build Own Operate and Transfer (BOOT) as a water utility serving across the spectrum of customers, across industrial, municipal, domestic, urban, and rural segments.

Swach has demonstrated strong technical proficiency and reliability through its extensive track record in delivering large-scale water infrastructure projects across India’s capital and various urban, industrial, and rural regions. In addition, proven record of delivering ongoing joint projects with Veolia India, the Indian subsidiary of France-based Veolia Group, one of the world’s leading environmental services companies, further demonstrates Swach’s credibility.

&nbsp;●	Delhi: Has been a partner in “Nangloi Water Supply Project”, one of the largest public-private partnership (PPP) initiatives by the Delhi Jal Board, aiming to deliver 24/7 water supply. Together with Veolia India, Swach manages a plant with a capacity of 40 million MGD (approx. 181.6 million liters per day) and serves over 1.2 million people.

&nbsp;●	West Bengal: Operates “Haldia Water Supply Project”, one of India’s largest industrial and municipal water supply projects with a supply of over 42 MGD (approx. 200 million liters) and a city operator for Haldia. The operating entity received the Best PPP Operator in the Water &amp; Wastewater Sector at the World Water Awards 2024–2025.

India, the most populous country in the world, faces serious water infrastructure challenges, including aging pipelines, high non-revenue water (NRW) rates, and intermittent water supply. KnoWaterleak’s water leakage risk assessment function is expected to play a significant role in addressing these challenges.

Tenchijin strives to deliver an innovative platform for the country’s future. We believe Swach’s proven expertise, strong technological capabilities, and trusted track record in India make them the ideal partner to tackle the ongoing challenges.

Singapore, Singapore, May 03, 2023 - As part of its ongoing digitalisation efforts, CapitaLand is taking its shopping voucher, CapitaVoucher, fully digital. From 1 July 2023, physical CapitaVoucher(s) will no longer be accepted as a mode of payment at retailers across participating properties. This will be fully replaced by CapitaLand’s existing digital shopping voucher programme eCapitaVoucher, which is available through the CapitaStar app.

Consumers who currently hold physical CapitaVoucher(s) are encouraged to use them by 30 June 2023 at the 16 participating CapitaLand malls. Those who are unable to utilise their physical CapitaVoucher(s) by 30 June 2023 can convert them to STAR$® at an equivalent value from 2 May 2023 to 30 September 2023. The STAR$® can be used to exchange for eCapitaVoucher, merchant deals or carpark redemption vouchers on the CapitaStar app.

Consumers can convert their physical CapitaVoucher(s) to STAR$® at the customer service counters at 11 selected CapitaLand malls – Bedok Mall, Bugis Junction, IMM Building, JCube, ION Orchard, Junction 8, Lot One Shoppers’ Mall, Tampines Mall, Raffles City Singapore, SingPost Centre and Westgate. To participate in the conversion exercise, consumers will need to bring along their valid physical CapitaVoucher, have a CapitaStar membership account and download the CapitaStar app on their mobile device. All STAR$® issued from the conversion exercise will have a fixed expiry date on 30 June 2024.

Mr. Reuben Yong, Head of Digital Platforms, Retail &amp; Workspace (Singapore &amp; Malaysia), CapitaLand Investment, said: “We launched eCapitaVoucher in 2019 to complement and enhance the popularity of CapitaVoucher, and the digital shopping voucher programme soon took off. Consumers relish the convenience of buying and gifting eCapitaVoucher 24 hours daily, receiving timely reminders about voucher expiry dates and redeeming their vouchers at various cashier points through the CapitaStar app. Meanwhile, retailers gain access to a faster, more accurate and fuss-free voucher reimbursement process with a significant reduction in paperwork. In 2022, sales of eCapitaVoucher grew by 29% year-on-year, and more than S$280 million of tenant sales were attributed to the usage of eCapitaVoucher as a payment mode.”

“With the increasing consumer and retailer acceptance of eCapitaVoucher, it is timely to take CapitaVoucher fully digital as part of our overall strategy to enhance the digital capabilities of CapitaStar in providing value-adding services for consumers and retailers alike. We will continue to innovate and reinforce eCapitaVoucher’s popularity as Singapore’s most widely accepted digital shopping voucher,” added Mr Yong.

eCapitaVoucher is a key offering of CapitaStar, a popular lifestyle rewards programme in Singapore by CapitaLand with over 1.4 million members. eCapitaVoucher is currently accepted at over 3,200 stores across 28 participating properties, which include the newly opened Sengkang Grand Mall. Since 10 April 2023, eCapitaVoucher is also accepted at shopping malls under the Cuscaden Peak Investments Private Limited portfolio, namely Paragon, The Clementi Mall, The Rail Mall and The Seletar Mall.

eCapitaVoucher can be purchased or exchanged with STAR$® earned on purchases made at participating stores on the CapitaStar app. It can be also purchased by corporate customers via the eCapitaVoucher Corporate Portal, which supports corporate customers making one-time purchases, or eCapitaVoucher Partner Portal for those making recurring purchases.&nbsp;&nbsp;

SINGAPORE,&nbsp;March 15, 2023&nbsp;/PRNewswire/ -- Finally, building managers can put away the complicated spreadsheets, and use a single digital dashboard to assess carbon footprints, set targets, and manage and track emissions.&nbsp;<a href="https://c212.net/c/link/?t=0&amp;l=en&amp;o=3333930-1&amp;h=3565008347&amp;u=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.johnsoncontrols.com%2F&amp;a=Johnson+Controls" target="_blank" rel="nofollow">Johnson Controls</a>&nbsp;(NYSE: JCI), the global leader for smart, healthy, sustainable buildings, announces&nbsp;Johnson Controls OpenBlue Net Zero Advisor, which uses digitally automated data collection and analytics to manage and track scope 1 and 2 emissions and assist building owners in reporting for certification and compliance frameworks. Organizations can manage single-building emissions targets around the world, and also aggregate global building data to optimize buildings and support reporting on enterprise-wide climate targets.

As regulators seek proof of progress towards net zero goals, they are calling on building owners to provide reliable emissions reporting. Accurate carbon footprint assessment, target-setting, tracking and management are paramount, as climate disclosures become mandatory not only for building certification and environmental reporting, but also for financial regulation. Yet, organizations struggle to collect, analyze and operationalize the data, given disparate data sources and varying local conditions. The vast number of different reporting frameworks adds to the complexity.

OpenBlue Net Zero Advisor provides an all-in-one tool for carbon footprint assessment, target setting, emissions management, and tracking. In addition, it aggregates data across a global building portfolio, to deliver insights on reducing building emissions and assist in accurate and transparent global reporting, while saving the time and money normally spent on complicated calculations and spreadsheets. Net Zero Advisor automatically extracts data from monthly utility bills, on-site renewable energy sources, and local emissions factors, including the local power grid contribution. Based on that data, it calculates scope 1 and 2 emissions. It then factors in credits and carbon offsets, and calculates total net emissions for each building site. Aggregating and analyzing data across a global portfolio of buildings, Net Zero Advisor can also provide carbon footprint transparency at an enterprise-wide level. Net Zero Advisor can help building owners assign measurable targets for energy, energy use intensity, emissions, and emissions intensity for each building, and then manage and summarize climate progress for the entire portfolio.

Whether for individual buildings or for a global portfolio, that clarity enables building owners to set and manage long-term emissions and energy plans, which can align with national building standards, global building certification standards, and also science-based targets and other emissions reduction commitments. This provides a clearer, more transparent source of data and tracking to support companies' disclosure of their progress toward their emissions reduction goals for financial regulators as well.

The Net Zero Advisor is available as a subscription service, so that building owners can install it and start working towards their climate targets, with very limited upfront costs. It can also be installed as part of a comprehensive "Net Zero as a Service" plan. The Net Zero Advisor application belongs to Johnson Controls OpenBlue, the global building market's most comprehensive suite of connected solutions, which breaks down system siloes, to manage building-wide optimization. OpenBlue can pinpoint inefficient equipment and spaces that are contributing to emissions or waste, and initiate system optimization, supporting progress towards emissions goals set in the Net Zero Advisor. OpenBlue can manage the overall health and sustainability of a building, from air quality and water use, to energy, emissions, and waste reduction.

Vijay Sankaran, Chief Technology Officer at Johnson Controls, says: "Given the urgency of climate action, and the fact that buildings contribute nearly 40% of global greenhouse gas emissions, businesses across the globe will be seeking to reduce and report on emissions for buildings they own or occupy. The Johnson Controls OpenBlue Net Zero Advisor offers an easy, all-in-one tool for managing emissions, while saving time, effort, and money. For both businesses and national leaders, this marks a critical milestone in achieving net zero progress."

Building Managers Can Digitally Assess Carbon Footprints, Set Emissions Targets, Manage Emissions, and Track Progress for Reporting

Singapore EXPO, the country's largest purpose-built MICE facility, is taking firm strides towards achieving Net Zero by 2024 with the largest single-site solar rooftop installation in&nbsp;Singapore, as well as the development of the largest electric vehicle charging hub in the eastern part of&nbsp;Singapore. The projects are a significant boost to the venue's sustainability infrastructure and will enable it to become&nbsp;Asia's&nbsp;first MICE venue running on clean energy. Singapore EXPO is managed by Constellar.

With over 17,000 photovoltaic panels installed on the rooftops of 10 exhibition halls and convention wing, Singapore EXPO would be the country's largest single-site solar panel installation at a total estimated size of about 6.5 football fields. In a Singaporean context, the energy generated from these panels can power 4,000 units of HDB 3-room flats (at 68 square metres per flat) for a year. The installation is expected to be completed in&nbsp;October 2023&nbsp;and once completed, it will replace conventional energy consumption at Singapore EXPO with renewable energy.

As events and communities return to Singapore EXPO, the venue is also enabling a more sustainable way to travel. Shell will be installing 20 Shell Recharge electric vehicle charging points at Singapore EXPO's carparks, making this the largest charging hub in the eastern part of&nbsp;Singapore. 20 drivers can charge at any single point of time while attending events or enjoying the F&amp;B offerings at Singapore EXPO.

Sustainability has been a continuous journey for Singapore EXPO since 2012 when its meetings and convention wing became the first MICE venue in&nbsp;Singapore&nbsp;to receive the BCA Green Mark Platinum Award. It has accelerated its efforts in the past year as sustainability considerations from travel, meeting and event professionals have grown in importance towards their selection of service providers including venues.

Last year Constellar pledged its commitment to the 'Net Zero Carbon Events" initiative by the Joint Meetings Industry Council (JMIC) and also joined the&nbsp;<a href="https://www.stb.gov.sg/content/stb/en/media-centre/media-releases/Singapore-Tourism-Board-inks-three-new-partnerships-to-boost-MICE-recovery-and-sustainability.html.html" target="_blank" rel="nofollow">Global MICE Sustainability Alliance</a>&nbsp;to explore solutions for green events, develop relevant MICE sustainability standards and accelerate adoption of green practices. As part of the Alliance's efforts, Constellar will also be piloting waste measurement methodologies at BuildTech Asia, a Constellar event, from&nbsp;28-30 March 2023, as well as Food &amp; Hotel Asia 2024. Both events will be held at Singapore EXPO.

Adding on to the earlier BCA Green Mark Platinum Award for the meetings and conventions wing, Singapore EXPO has also just been awarded the same award for the ten exhibition halls in&nbsp;February 2023. Other initiatives that Singapore EXPO is also embarking on include implementing urban farming on the rooftop of the convention wing by&nbsp;October 2023. The latter complements the venue's current food waste management initiatives, as well as the operation of a food digestor at Timbre+ food park to turn food waste into water that can be discharged into the public sewage system and thus reducing carbon footprint from transporting the food waste for disposal.

Mr&nbsp;Chua Wee Phong, Chief Executive (Venues), Constellar, said: "We are proud to support&nbsp;Singapore's&nbsp;vision to become&nbsp;Asia Pacific's&nbsp;leading sustainable MICE destination by 2030. It's important to invest in both our physical infrastructure as well as develop the necessary skillsets in our people in our journey to Net Zero, so that we can create a strong foundation to build, sustain and scale our sustainability initiatives. Education is a focus area this year as we learn and share about industry standards and reporting with our eco-system of communities including event organisers. We want to support them in their sustainability journey, and to create impact with scale."

Doong Shiwen, General Manager of Shell Mobility Singapore, said, "We are glad to partner with Singapore Expo in their sustainability journey. We want to deliver more and cleaner energy solutions, and electric mobility is one of the solutions that can meet the growing demand for transport in a lower-carbon world. With the largest EV charging hub in the eastern part of&nbsp;Singapore, we are extending Shell Recharge to more customers and hope to encourage even more drivers to embrace EVs."
