Carbon Mitigation: Integrating Go 25, PPAs and Carbon Offsets

The commitment to sustainability is clear, but the path to action can be complex. The Seminar with SGBC Member OCBC on 3 November at the OCBC Campus cut through the noise, providing professionals with a tangible, three-pillar roadmap to accelerate their decarbonisation journey.

We moved beyond theory and into practical strategy, exploring how to integrate policy, finance, and technology for a resilient future. A huge thank you to our incredible speakers and attendees for a deeply insightful discussion.

Here are the key takeaways:

🌡️ Sustainable Comfort with Go 25: We demystified how Singapore’s Go 25 national movement is a first, low-cost, high-impact step. It’s not just about adjusting a thermostat; it’s about optimising for both occupant well-being and significant energy savings, creating a foundational culture of efficiency.

📜 Strategic Energy with Power Purchase Agreements (PPAs): Our energy procurement experts at C&W Services Singapore unpacked PPAs as a critical financial tool. We discussed how to strategically lock in clean energy, manage long-term price volatility, and future-proof operations against market shifts.

♻️ Credible Offsetting with Carbon Credits: OCBC Global Markets helped to navigate the complex landscape of carbon markets. The session provided a clear framework for sourcing high-integrity carbon credits, ensuring that offsetting is a credible complement to, not a substitute for, direct emissions reduction.

The consensus was clear: the future belongs to businesses that can seamlessly weave these pillars together. Decarbonisation is no longer a solo mission but a collaborative effort where smart policy, clean energy procurement, and verified offsetting create a powerful synergy.
