Cora’s pledge to Go 25 builds a more sustainable workplace across our sites.
Cora Environment has joined the Go 25 movement, an initiative led by the Singapore Green Building Council (SGBC) and the Ministry of Sustainability and the Environment (MSE). This voluntary industry pledge encourages organisations to set indoor air-conditioning temperatures at 25°C or higher to reduce energy consumption.
Energy needed to heat, cool and power buildings remains one of the largest contributors to energy use in buildings. Small adjustments such as raising indoor temperatures gradually can significantly reduce carbon emissions and energy costs over time. Through Go 25, we aim to cultivate a culture of thoughtful resource use within our workforce, with the intention that these sustainability‑driven habits would extend beyond the workplace and into daily life at home.
This year, we have rolled out the initiative across five of our major sites: our Material Recovery Facility, Energy-from-Waste plant, Bukit Merah Depot, Bedok Depot and Tuas Depot. This marks a significant step in aligning our operations with national sustainability efforts.
To ensure a smooth transition and staff engagement, while maintaining staff comfort, temperature adjustments were introduced in gradual increments of 0.5°C. We also raised awareness through Health, Safety, Security, and Environment (HSSE) Committee meetings across all sites and placed clear signages near air‑conditioning controllers as a reminder. These efforts ensure consistent understanding and strengthen organisation‑wide participation in this initiative.
Our commitment to Go 25 closely aligns with the Singapore Green Plan 2030, a national roadmap to advance sustainable development and galvanise whole-of-nation movement. One of its key pillars, Energy Reset, calls for reducing energy consumption and improving efficiency across sectors. By setting indoor air-conditioning temperatures at 25°C or higher across our plants and depots, we are contributing to more responsible energy use and supporting Singapore’s broader transition towards a low‑carbon future.
We are also reshaping how our operations are powered with solar panels that harness renewable energy at our Material Recovery Facility and Energy-from-Waste plant.
Beyond improving cooling efficiency, we are also taking steps to lower our carbon footprint through renewable energy adoption. Solar panels installed at our Material Recovery Facility (operational since December 2025) and our Energy‑from‑Waste plant (operational since November 2022) enable us to tap into clean energy sources, reducing carbon emissions and building greater operational resilience.
These circular initiatives reflect Cora’s broader vision: sustainability should not just be a goal, it should be the very fabric of how we operate. By making changes today, we are building a future where energy efficiency and environmental responsibility go hand in hand. It is also a reminder that environmental progress begins with simple everyday choices; and when everyone contributes, these choices add up to real climate impact.

As 2025 draws to a close, we wanted to take a moment to reflect on a year defined by renewal and transformation. This is the year we embraced a new identity as Cora Environment, a name inspired by collaboration and heart, while advancing sustainability, forging impactful partnerships, and empowering people.
On September 11, we unveiled our five-year S$200 million strategic roadmap at our brand launch event, officiated by Mr Zaqy Mohamad, Senior Minister of State, Ministry of Sustainability and the Environment & Ministry of Defence.
March 2025 opened a new chapter for Cora Environment (formerly SembWaste), as TBS Energi completed the acquisition, and accelerated its evolution into a regional market leader dedicated to sustainable environmental solutions. Building on this momentum, we unveiled a five-year S$200 million strategic roadmap to drive growth in waste-to-resource capabilities, strengthen core operations, and invest in innovation supporting Singapore’s transition toward a zero-waste future, under the Singapore Green Plan 2030.
As part of the REhub launch event, a fireside chat was held in Mee Toh School, with Ms Goh Hanyan, Senior Parliamentary Secretary, Ministry of Sustainability and the Environment & Ministry of Culture, Community and Youth, Mee Toh School principal Mr Kelvin Tay and our Group CEO Mr Lee Kok Kin.
In October, we joined forces with National Environment Agency (NEA) to introduce REhubs in schools through the Cora School Recycling League, empowering schools to lead recycling initiatives. Our event was held in Mee Toh School, and also marked the first of four NEA’s Clean & Green Singapore satellite events this year.
We also partnered with Ramboll to drive energy recovery and decarbonisation at our Energy-from-Waste plant that will minimise energy losses and pilot carbon capture solutions, and collaborated with World Aquatics Championships to transform 100,000 used aluminium cans into 5,000 gleaming medals, where selected schools in the Cora School Recycling League rallied together to contribute to this shared mission.
We also formalised our partnership with Singapore Polytechnic (SP) at BEX Asia 2025, focusing on two key pillars: talent development and sustainability innovation. This means that students from SP receive the opportunity to be engaged in real-world learning and hands-on projects with Cora Environment, while we get to test-bed innovative solutions at SP’s sites.
At the award ceremony for Cora’s School Recycling League this year, Gold Awards were presented to top schools across four education levels, who diverted the highest amount of waste: My First Skool @ Blk 153 Bishan (Preschool), Mee Toh School (Primary), Manjusri Secondary School (Secondary), Victoria Junior College (Tertiary).
In 2025, we inspired thousands of students and educators to champion recycling in their daily lives, with close to 500 schools onboard the Cora School Recycling League this year, moulding a future of eco-conscious leaders.
We were also awarded with the Workforce Transformation Award for the Environmental Services Industry, a testament to our ongoing commitment to enrich our people through skills development, capability building and future‑ready roles. Working with Workforce Singapore, we have reimagined roles in Business Intelligence, achieving a 30% increase in efficiency by automating reporting and streamlining workflows.
Celebrating the heart of Cora, we also came together for an appreciation dinner at Mandai Wildlife Group’s Green Canvas, marking the first time we all gathered as one united Cora Environment.
2025 is more than a milestone year for Cora Environment; it signifies the dawn of a new era of transformation and renewal for us. With our transformed brand, stronger purpose and dedicated team, we are excited to continue this momentum into 2026. We were also reminded that sustainability cannot be defined by just one company or one industry. Rather, it is a long-term endeavour, enabled through impactful partnerships, engaged communities, and systemic shifts to the ecosystem.
