To reduce all forms of pollution within Retrace’s environment through programs implemented across all areas and functions.

It’s no secret that emissions and air pollution is harmful for us as individuals, and as a society

Air pollution can:
  • Cause cancer and other ailments like asthma and bronchitis.
  • Hamper children’s physical and cognitive development.
  • Adds to chronic diseases in later life, including osteoporosis and dementia. 

7.8

million deaths every year from exposure to ambient and household air pollution.

99%

of the world’s population live in areas where the air pollution levels exceed WHO guideline limits.

2.3

billion people relying primarily on polluting fuels and technologies for cooking.

Retrace is where clean air meets the urban environment – in the form of a Low Emission Zone

Living in a low emission zone (LEZ) can drastically reduce or reverse the ill effects of emissions in our atmosphere. This is a key tenet of our sustainability goals and our ReMatter initiative.

Breaking it down
During construction, we’ve employed responsible methods of breaking ground and demolishing existing structures with robust waste management systems.
Building the new
We’re extremely conscious about how we balance missions from the extraction, manufacturing, and transportation that goes into building Retrace.
The long run
Building long-term strategies into the foundation of Retrace, making low-emission living the default way of life at Retrace. This has several layers to it.

12%

reduction of possibility of a stroke

11%

drop in pediatric emergencies
