In September 2015, 193 world leaders adopted a set of 17 Sustainable Development Goals –a shared blueprint for advancement of a sustainable, inclusive and just society by 2030. As a commitment to robust assessment and implementation of the goals, Singapore was amongst 47 member states to submit itself for a Voluntary National Review (VNR) at the UN High-level Political Forum on Sustainable Development in September 2018.

As a leading environmental NGO in Singapore, SEC believes we have a part to play in contributing towards progress of the goals through its standards-setting, consumer action and training & education initiatives. By administering the Singapore Green Labelling Scheme and Eco Certification schemes in Singapore, SEC seeks to enable green consumerism by championing thought leadership on a range of environmental issues and to bridge existing awareness-action gaps in the ecosystem by fostering business and consumer action through strategic collaboration across the public-private-people (3P) sectors. To drive capability-building efforts, SEC through its training & education activities seek to imbue students and industry professionals like with the know-how critical for the transition towards a circular economy.
