The built environment sector is responsible for 40% of global carbon emissions – in both construction and operation. With progress being made to reduce those emissions alongside increasingly greater awareness of the environmental impact of our buildings, stakeholders and shareholders now also have greater environmental, social and governance (ESG) expectations. In this SGBC course, you will learn: Why actors in the industry should transition to net zero What is the current stage of industry transformation The interplay between operational and embodied carbon emissions What are the levers available for transitioning to net zero The implementation and roadmap required to get to net zero

Against the backdrop of the decarbonisation megatrend, green buildings are increasingly regarded as an effective way to move the needle on built environment sustainability. Driven by national initiatives such as the Singapore Green Plan 2030 and the Singapore Green Building Masterplan, there is a strong push for enterprises to reduce their carbon emissions and green business operations. Industrial buildings also count towards the national target of having 80 percent of the built environment greened by 2030. Greening industrial buildings can not only improve energy efficiency but also help create a better working environment for employees, reducing stress levels and improving their physical and mental wellbeing. In this course, hear from three industry experts as we discuss the greening of industrial buildings.

In the aftermath of the pandemic, companies across Singapore and the Asia Pacific region are grappling with how to encourage employees back to the office.
