In an effort to raise awareness in governments, businesses and consumers, the Singapore Environment Council (SEC) and the Singapore Institute of Manufacturing Technology (SIMTech) have signed an agreement to launch the region’s and Southeast Asia's first carbon label. The label is designed to provide information about carbon footprint of an item’s entire lifecycle.

SEC’s Executive Director, Mr Howard Shaw said, “The label will encourage businesses to take steps to reduce the carbon content of their products and services. Consumers, for the first time, will also have the information they need to make a positive difference through their choices of the products and services they buy.”

Kudos Singapore Environment Council and the Singapore Institute of Manufacturing Technology for your efforts to encourage the transition to a low-carbon world.

May your caring stewardship motivate many more toward the harmony of clean, green living on our cherished Earth.
