    Merging ESG strategies for CapitaLand, Mapletree

    A possible merger between two Temasek-linked real estate groups might require harmonising of environmental, social and governance (ESG) goals and governance if a deal were to materialise.

    CapitaLand Investment (CLI), in which Temasek holds a majority stake, and Mapletree Investments (MIPL), a wholly owned Temasek subsidiary, are considering a possible merger, Dow Jones reported this week. Plans are preliminary, the news agency reported.
