Administered by the Singapore Environment Council (SEC) since 1999, the Singapore Green Labelling Scheme (SGLS) is Singapore’s leading environmental standard and certification mark with over 3800 unique products certified across 43 countries. The scheme aims to help the public identify environmentally preferred products that meet certain eco-standards.
- The SGBP Certification Scheme covers a wide range of products and assesses them based on their sustainability performance. Environmental and health impacts can occur across a product’s lifecycle, from raw material extraction or cultivation, through manufacturing, use and end-of-use management. The SGBP Certification Scheme looks at the whole lifecycle of products to account for the full impact.
- The Singapore Green Label category for Cement and Precast Concrete establishes grading criteria based on environmental, performance and health parameters. The standard includes product-specific environmental prerequisites, such as the usage of recycled materials and conformance to the leaching test
