About Us

SGBC was officially launched on 28 October 2009 as the only non-profit organisation with a concerted private-public sector partnership to achieve a world-class and sustainable built-environment in Singapore.

Accelerating Decarbonisation of the Built Environment Sector

 VideoFrame

The global pandemic has shown us what can be achieved when we work together towards a common goal. Climate change is an even greater existential threat facing mankind.

The built environment is responsible for 40 percent of global carbon emissions, with embodied carbon emissions often being overlooked. Embodied carbon emissions are associated with the full supply chain of all materials and systems put into any built environment project and cannot be improved over the lifetime of a building, unlike operational carbon emissions. If embodied carbon emissions are not addressed before the building project moves past the design stage, there is no way to reclaim lost carbon savings once the building is constructed and subsequently used.

To bring attention to this important issue and the built environment sector's influence on embodied carbon emissions, the Singapore Green Building Council (SGBC) is launching the Singapore Built Environment Embodied Carbon Pledge to help unify and amplify industry action. We invite all organisations involved in shaping our built environment to pledge your support and work together with other like-minded organisations to effect change.

Organisations with ambitions, intentions and solutions to address built environment embodied carbon emissions can pledge their commitment and then take broad-based actions anchored on the Pledge's 3 key principles:

  1. Opting for building materials with lower embodied carbon
  2. Minimising materials usage and wastage through collaborative design and optimisation
  3. Transforming construction site processes to utilise electricity and renewable sources of energy
