Singtel’s environmental footprint reflects the diverse
activities of our multimedia and ICT business in Singapore.
We are guided by our Environmental Management System
(EMS) which supports our commitment to understand and
minimise our impact on the environment.
The breadth of our activities in managing our
environmental footprint has steadily increased during the
last few years. Our aim is to comply with all applicable
environmental regulations in Singapore and where
possible, introduce and adopt best practices in our
operations.
For example, in FY2012 we widened the measurement and
monitoring of our carbon footprint by bringing additional elements of Scope 3 emissions into the calculation along
with data on Scope 2 emissions from our rented offices, base
stations and Main Distribution Frame (MDF) rooms.

Other initiatives include undertaking a series of energy audits
at six of our premises in Singapore, the formation of a Power
Management Unit, updating our procurement standards and a
continued requirement for our contractors and sub-contractors
to comply with our EMS when carrying out any on-site
activities.
We report our environmental impact under four categories;
hazardous and non-hazardous waste management, carbon
emissions, energy consumption and water use. |
