What is Sustainable Development?

Sustainable development for Singapore means growing our city state in a way that:

  • Is efficient: we develop with less resources and waste
  • Is clean: we develop without polluting our environment
  • Is green: we develop while preserving greenery, waterways and our natural heritage

This way, we ensure that Singapore can enjoy both economic growth and a good living environment for ourselves, and for future generations.

What We Can Do

Individuals
“When you use less electricity and water, waste less and choose cleaner ways to travel, you save money and protect the environment too”
 
Companies
“Companies save money when they use less energy and water and reduce unnecessary packaging.”
 
Government
“The Government will walk the talk, make our public services more efficient, and promote environmental awareness.”
