The Singapore Green Building Council (SGBC), in partnership with the Building and Construction Authority (BCA), officially unveiled on 6 June 2024 the 24 distinguished winners of the SGBC-BCA Leadership in Sustainability Awards 2024. This year’s edition witnessed a surge of high-quality submissions, highlighting the industry’s heightened commitment to sustainability.
“The strong response to the Awards programme underscores the significant progress made in our collective journey towards a greener built environment,” said Mr. Lee Ang Seng, President of the SGBC. “Particularly noteworthy is the high number of submissions for the Business Leadership in Sustainability award category, a testament to the growing recognition of sustainability as the standard, not the exception, within the industry.”
Formally unveiled before a crowd of over 600 representatives of the Singapore built environment sector during the SGBC Gala Dinner 2024 held at the Orchard Hotel Singapore, the award winners received their trophies from the evening’s guest-of-honour Ms Indranee Rajah, Minister in the Prime Minister’s Office, Second Minister for Finance and Second Minister for National Development.
The biennial Awards programme, first held in 2016, honours significant achievements by Professionals, Businesses and Building Projects in the development of a green and sustainable built environment.
More than 80 award applications across all award categories were received in the 2024 edition, with applications for the Business Leadership in Sustainability award category accounting for half of all submissions. The Main Jury – comprising senior leaders from SGBC and BCA – commended the quality of the high-calibre applications received this year, which made the assessment process extremely challenging. 24 distinguished winners comprising 8 Professionals, 10 Businesses and 6 Building Projects eventually made the cut to be crowned the winners of the SGBC-BCA Leadership in Sustainability Awards 2024.
BCA Chief Executive Officer, Mr Kelvin Wong said, “We are encouraged by the positive response from the industry. The remarkable achievements and contributions by the award winners will accelerate our efforts to reduce carbon emissions in the built environment. We hope that this uptake will inspire more industry leaders to develop more sustainable buildings and push the envelope in building a greener future.”
