    Transforming companies to be more sustainable | Green Compass™ & LCA | @ A*STAR

    I had the opportunity to represent the team to share about Green Compass to Senior Minister of State Koh Poh Koon at last week’s CleanEnviro Summit Singapore. We had an engaging discussion about how Green Compass is well positioned to help companies in their environmental sustainability journey. One of the questions he asked was, “Can this be used to support green procurement?” Green Compass can certainly help guide your suppliers to become more environmentally sustainable. There is also a Singapore Standard (TR) currently in development, that serves as a guide for companies, especially SMEs, to become more environmentally sustainable through a continual improvement model adapted from Green Compass. The standard will be verifiable and will be published before the end of 2024. Want to be among the first to see the standard? Drop a comment below 👇🏻 and I’ll be sure to let you know when it’s out! P.S. Yes, he’s that tall - I had to crane my neck upwards! 😄 Thanks Cindy Huang for the pic 🙏 Lai Sing Chai Jonathan Low Liat Boon Lek Daren Tan Zhiquan Yeo Jonathan S.C.
