We actively promote our sustainability agenda as an integral part of our business conduct, adhere to good practices that reduce the environmental impacts of all our activities and encourage our clients and partners to do the same. This endeavour and its resultant policy are strongly supported by our management.
Our Environment & Social Sustainability Policy includes practices guided by our values and principles that are benchmarked against EarthCheck, the world’s leading scientific benchmarking and certification group. Leading by example, Suntec Singapore aims to inspire a positive change in the MICE industry and make lasting contributions to our community.
