| MANAGE WASTES AND HAZARDOUS MATERIALS RESPONSIBLY |
Waste management has increasingly become a key issue for Singapore. The lack of physical space for disposal and the
environmental impact of waste necessitate the need to be mindful of the amount of waste that we generate. As one of the biggest
companies in Singapore, we aim to lead by example and play our part in managing waste responsibly.
Singtel adopts a two-pronged approach to managing waste. We create links between the company and individual employees,
providing them with a good awareness of major initiatives. Alongside this, we promote a culture of understanding that small
everyday actions can collectively have a big impact. For example, we have invested in a number of digital initiatives to cut down
on resource use such as paper, storage, travel and the utilisation of physical space. These include:
|
| • |
An online WSH portal to provide easy access to all WSH-related information and no printing of hardcopy handbooks; |
| • |
Singtel ESPRESSO, an enterprise social networking site which connects people virtually across the Singtel Group; |
| • |
The expansion of our secure PeopleConnect intranet site so that all Senior Officers and Directors will be able to access their annual review letters electronically, similar to how our pay slips are viewed; |
| • |
Managed printing networks using ‘Tap Printing’ which greatly reduces unnecessary waste by holding print jobs until users tap their staff access cards on the network printer; and |
| • |
Learn-on-the-Go, an E-learning and M-learning platform that promotes and expands the virtual classroom and learning opportunities for our people. |
