Sentosa Golf Club is widely regarded as the world’s most sustainable golf club, having captured the title of ‘World’s Best Eco-Friendly Golf Facility’ for the second consecutive year at the 2021 World Golf Awards. The Club launched its first sustainability, #KeepitGreen, back in 2018, designed to raise awareness for participation within golf in Singapore and also sustainable practices within the sport.
A number of environmental initiatives have since been pioneered by the Club, via the #KeepitGreen umbrella (which has since become a way of life and mantra at the Club), all geared towards helping the Club become more sustainable and reduce its carbon footprint.
- Banning all single-use plastics at the golf club saving over 450K plastic bottles over a three-year period through the installation of water stations
- Installing a single head control irrigation system has reduced the Club’s water resources by 40%
- Switching to use lithium-powered golf carts has significantly reduced the yearly carbon footprint at the Club and each battery provides a longer live span of up to 8 years
- Creating six colonies for its own bee species to help increase the worldwide population and provide sustainable production of propolis and honey from Tetragonula Laeviceps stingless bees
- Installing two food and horticultural waste digesters is estimated to help save up to 30% on monthly waste disposal over a one-year period
- Purchasing GPS spraying equipment to increase efficiency and reduce product application use by 30%
The Club has continued to build on its goal and ambitions set out in #KeepitGreen, launching a second sustainability campaign, called GAME ON, in 2020. The campaign has since urged the golf industry to respond to climate change by implement new modern processes for the betterment of the environment. In 2020, Sentosa became the first golf club in the world to join the United Nations Sports for Climate Action Initiative, which aims to support and guide sports organizations and their communities on a path to achieving the global climate goals set out by the world leaders in the Paris Agreement.
At last year’s HSBC Women’s World Championship, the Club also committed to becoming the world’s first carbon neutral golf club by 2022, aligned with Sentosa Island’s goals of carbon neutrality by 2030 and becoming a recognized, certified sustainable tourism destination. Most recently, Sentosa made the commitment to join the United Nations Race to Zero (carbon emissions) campaign during the COP26 summit in Glasgow.

Edrington was created to be a company that makes a positive contribution to the communities in which we live and work. Over 160 years we have built a responsible and sustainable business that respects the environment around us. Edrington is focused on sustainable practices throughout the whole process, from whisky making to our customers. The four focus areas are namely: Distilling, Packaging, Estate and the Community.
1.Distillation
The first process in whisky making is distillation, and we aim to progress our craft to reduce the impact of distilling and sourcing of materials on nature. Barley is sourced to the highest UK Standard (FSA/SAI). Our processes are certified ISO140001 Environmental Management Accreditation. By repurposing of co-products into green energy & animal feed, we have achieved 0% waste to landfill from whisky operations. By 2030, our industry leading cask management system aims to ensure that 50% of oak is sourced from PEFC/ FSC certified suppliers to achieve carbon neutrality across our operations. Our current goals include reduction of carbon intensity by 1% per annum, transitioning to 100% green energy by 2025 and reducing procurement of Spanish Sherry cask.
2.Packaging
Once whisky has been produced through our sustainable processes, we innovate to create prestigious, functional packaging with minimal environmental footprint. All wood, paper & board materials are sustainably sourced from FSC accredited sources, with a growing % of paper and board made from recycled materials. In addition, 90% of packaging are curbside recyclable at home. By 2025, we aim to ensure that packaging is widely recyclable & sustainably sourced, by removing single use plastic and transitioning to 100% recycled paper & board.
3.Estate
Edrington strives to preserve the estate, our water sources and enrich the environs of our estate to support biodiversity. We have achieved a SEPA Excellent rating for Abstraction & Return of water. By 2025, Edrington aims to restore natural flow and habitat, by removing unnatural obstructions and reducing process water use to 12.5l/lpa – 25l/lpa. We ensure that our water is sourced from natural springs flowing into the River Spey, a Site of Special Scientific Interest Land. We have also certified that 320 acres of the land are managed to sustainable standards (by Scottish Rural College – SRUC). By 2025, we aim to better manage our land on the estate, through executing a nature and wildlife strategy. This year, the Rothes House will implement a sustainable environmental management plan.
4.Community: Support communities and promote wellbeing by harnessing the power of an active mind
Finally, we support communities and promote wellbeing by harnessing the power of an active mind. Our activities include charitable giving to Moray adult learning charity (Lead Scotland), supporting an 18-month programme. By 2023, we are working towards developing partnerships aiming to provide free access to communication channels for partner adult learning charities to amplify their work in key markets.

F&N ICE MOUNTAIN Drinking Water now in new sustainable packaging,
As Singaporeans are becoming more aware of the need to go green through the various government green initiatives, Singaporeans are looking for ways do their part from recycling initiatives and eco-friendly products like reusable straws and biodegradable food packaging to reducing the reliance on single-use plastic. True to the global and national call towards adopting environmentally-friendly practices, F&N introduces its drinking water in two sustainable types of packaging – 300ml can and 500ml carton, for F&N ICE MOUNTAIN drinking water.

New sustainable paper packaging
To reduce single-use plastics, F&N ICE MOUNTAIN drinking water is packed in wholly recyclable paper carton. The carton uses Forest Stewardship Council (FSC™) certified paperboard, which means it has been sourced from responsibly managed forests and other controlled sources. Even the bottle cap is recyclable, as it’s made from a type of bio-based material derived from sugar cane which is a renewable source. F&N ICE MOUNTAIN drinking water is available in 500ml paper cartons and is both halal & HCS certified.
Aluminum cans are recyclable too
For those who prefer a quick hydration fix, F&N Ice MOUNTAIN drinking water also comes in cans made from aluminum. The can packaging will allow for a much easier method and cost-effective in recycling metal. It can be recycled continuously without losing its properties, and the recycling of metal reduces the environmental impacts associated with metal mining and production. F&N ICE MOUNTAIN Drinking Water in cans is available in 300ml aluminum cans and is both halal & HCS certified. Apart from making strides in sustainable packaging for drinking water, F&N continues to participate in efforts towards a greener Singapore. In 2019 F&N took part in an initiative to place Reverse Vending Machines (RVMs) across Singapore to encourage recycling in the community.
So, go ahead to rehydrate any time of the day with F&N ICE MOUNTAIN drinking water, and you’ll get to quench your thirst and do your part in protecting the environment for many generations to come.

“Road to Zero” and “Green Management 2025”
Sony Group is implementing a long-term environmental plan called “Road to Zero”, which aims to reduce our environmental footprint to zero by 2050. We have been moving actively towards this goal by setting intermediate targets along the way. From 2021 to 2025, major focus areas of “Green Management 2025” include accelerating efforts in:
1) Elimination of plastic packaging for newly designed small products
Sony developed ‘Original Blended Material’, which uses plants with a short growth cycle and post-consumer recycled paper, and apply it to WF-1000XM4 truly wireless noise canceling headphones’ packaging. It received the 2022 WorldStar Packaging Awards from the World Packaging Organisation (WPO).
2) Introduction of recycled plastics
To reduce our use of non-renewable resources, Sony-developed SORPLAS™ with up to 99% recycled content, which has been introduced into various products. Specifically, for certain BRAVIA XR™ OLED TV models, the use of SORPLAS™ has reduced the overall virgin plastic use by approximately 60%. SORPLAS™ can be recycled several times with little loss of performance.
3) Reduction of product power consumption
In fiscal year 2020, annual energy consumption per product was 54% lower than in fiscal year 2013. For example, in the TV category, lower power consumption is achieved by using technology that automatically adjusts the screen brightness according to the surrounding environment and controls the brightness on the screen according to the video scene.
4) Introduction of renewable energy
Sony aims to use 100% renewable electricity at all business sites by 2040 and this target has been achieved in Europe and China. In South East Asia, at Sony Technology (Thailand) Co., Ltd. Chonburi factory, the solar panels installed on the rooftop generates approximately 2.7 million Kilowatt hours (kWh) per year, equivalent to a reduction of approximately 1.3 kiloton (kt) of CO2.
