Shahira Abdullah

Dr Shahira Abdullah asked the Minister for Sustainability and the Environment whether the Government has considered offering plant-based meals or meals derived from sustainable sources for Government events by default to show its commitment to making sustainability more mainstream.

Grace Fu Hai Yien

The Singapore Green Plan 2030 is our commitment towards making sustainability a priority for Singapore. Under the GreenGov.SG initiative, the public sector will embed environmental sustainability in our core business areas, including our procurement practices. For greater impact, we are starting with our main products and services in our review of sustainability metrics.
