The President's Award for the Environment is the highest environmental accolade for individuals, organisations and companies that have made significant contributions towards environmental and water resource sustainability in Singapore. It recognises and honours the sustained environment- and water-related contributions by environmental champions from the People, Public and Private (3P) sectors.

Beyond that, this prestigious award also aims to inspire more individuals, organisations and companies to step forward and join the effort to tackle our environmental challenges. This will ensure that we and our future generations will have a lively and liveable Singapore to live, work and play in.

The President’s Award for the Environment trophy is specially designed and produced by Singapore’s contemporary ceramic artist and Cultural Medallion winner, Mr. Iskandar Jalil.

Each trophy is shaped like a watering can to acknowledge the recipients' contributions in nurturing Singapore's environment and also symbolizes the importance of water as a precious resource that should be treasured by every Singaporeans. The spectrum of earthy, blue and green hues on the trophies mirrors the resplendence of Singapore's natural environment.
