An integral part of our commitment to improving the lives of the world’s consumers is sustainability.
We make people’s everyday lives a little better. However, while our commitment to “better” has never changed, the standard we need to deliver on has. More and more for our consumers, better for them, without better for the planet, is no longer better. We share that conviction. Innovation cannot be irresistibly superior without also being sustainable. Together in partnership we can build a better future for all. After all, it’s our home. And our window is now.
At SgIC, our Holistic approach to Sustainability is a continuous journey that covers:1) Innovation of Irresistibly Superior and Sustainable products and packages,
2) Sustainable Site operations,
3) Employee education & Habit formation and
4) Being a Force for Good in our Community.

Employees
Our employees are committed to ensuring that sustainability is built into their work, not bolted on.
By driving awareness, education & participation, we can also enable habit adoption.
For this purpose, we provide trainings, invite speakers, and organize campaigns that allow people to participate in Sustainability related efforts. For example, in partnership with UpCircle, we have held campaigns to recycle Clothes, Electronics and Books, amongst others.
Site Operations
As a result of its thoughtful design, construction and ongoing operation, the SgIC is a ‘Silver LEED’ and ‘Greenmark’ certified facility. It was also among 11 companies awarded the Singapore Environment Council GreenDNA Certification in 2021.
We are constantly looking at ways to reduce, reuse, recycle and repurpose our energy, water and waste footprint and have generated over 36 Sustainability related initiatives over 5 years.
Community
Engaging externally also brings to life our commitment to being a Force for Growth and a Force for Good. We have participated in cleaning activities like picking up and recycling plastic litter from beaches and parks, in partnership with the Alliance to End Plastic Waste.
And through our SgIC Sustainability Bingo challenge, we encouraged Employees and their families to engage in activities such as visiting eco-farms, Sustainability exhibitions, amongst others.
