Sustainability Is Now the Tender-Winning Edge

Sustainability requirements are intensifying across Singapore’s built environment, especially with the launch of the Technical Reference (TR) 149:2026 framework. ESG and carbon performance are now critical determinants of business tender success and long-term competitiveness.

Construction firms must rapidly embed ESG into strategy, risk management, and operations to adapt to latest procurement and regulatory expectations. Organised by SCAL and ESGpedia, this session provides a comprehensive overview of the latest requirements and industry trends, alongside practical insights and best practices sharing from leading contractors adopting digital sustainability solutions.

Explore how leading construction firms Soilbuild Construction Group, Wee Hur Construction, Expand Construction, LBD Engineering, Integrated Precast Solutions, Hwa Seng Builder, and more, are operationalising ESG across reporting, embodied carbon management, and supply chain engagement – transforming ESG into a strategic advantage to win more tenders and stay competitive.

Get practical takeaways on how your organisation can leverage digital sustainability tools to advance on Sustainability Reporting, Project-level Embodied Carbon Calculation, Subcontractor Engagement, and Sustainable Finance, with available funding support.
