Enterprise Singapore Sustainability Program done through subsidised training workshops and project financing
According to Enterprise Singapore, more small and medium enterprises are signing up for courses on sustainability since the end of 2021 as the push for a greener Singapore intensifies.
“We first started out with recycling, and then we slowly moved on into putting LED lights into the building, and then also we recently installed the solar panels,” said James Loke, Group CEO of Tru-Marine.
Just like Tru-Marine, more businesses are intensifying their response to the growing interest in ESG targets, such as reducing carbon footprint.
“I believe that being out there, and making sure our ESG goals are visible, clearly definable, and concrete would enable us to be the preferred provider,” shared Linda Hoo, Tru-Marine Independent Director & Chair of ESG Committee.
