Objectives

With the rollout of the Singapore Green Plan 2030 in 2021, Singapore has highlighted our sustainability ambition to transit towards a Green Economy. As Singapore makes the transition, Businesses will not only need to have an understanding of how sustainability would impact their business but also review existing operations and adopt sustainability best practices to remain resilient and competitive in the long run.

To help support companies interested in embarking on sustainability transformation, SBF has partnered with Singapore Polytechnic to roll out the Sustainability-Centric Innovation Design workshops that aim to:

1. To support companies in creating an awareness of their Environmental, Social, and Governance (ESG) performance using a Design Thinking & Human Centred Innovation (HCI) approach
2. To help companies take stock of their current standing in sustainability
3. To work with companies to design a plan that will pave the way for solution adoption
   
   

Practical Outcomes

• Define what sustainability means to their organisations
