OUR SUSTAINABILITY GOALS

Our vision goes beyond business; it's a pledge to make a positive impact, foster sustainability, and contribute to the global well-being outlined by the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals (UN SDGs). By aligning our sustainability efforts with the UN SDGs, we aim to actively incorporate and work towards the achievement of these global goals in our business practices, strategies, and initiatives.

Our Climate Transition Strategy

We aim to reduce our environmental impact by offering low carbon travel options for commuters, promoting green solutions and public transport use over private vehicles. As a Temasek Portfolio Company, SMRT aims to contribute towards its goal of halving its 2010 portfolio emissions by 2030. Looking further ahead, we're committed to achieving Net Zero by 2050 to support Singapore’s climate goals.

  • Base year - 2010

    Being a transportation provider, we understand that our sector is one of the largest contributors to anthropogenic greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions.

     

    SMRT emitted about 0.571 million tonnes of GHG emission in 2010. We regard this as a call to action, one that requires a transition roadmap setting forth decarbonisation as our business imperative.
