“At least 80% of the buildings in Singapore to be green by 2030” – this is one of the key targets set by the Inter-Ministerial Committee on Sustainable Development (IMCSD) for Singapore’s built environment.

TheGreen Building Individual Awards is to accord recognition tolike-minded individuals, from across the building and construction value chain, for their consistent contribution and outstanding achievements in this challenging yet fulfilling journey towards greater environmental sustainability in the built environment.
