By interweaving our sustainability goals with our financial and operational goals, we are creating winwin conditions for the agency to thrive into the long term. I believe this certification also drives greater self awareness amongst our staff when it comes to minimising impact to environment or society at large, besides affirming that the agency has reduced its greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions. We hope to build on this certification further by streamlining our systems and processes to eliminate waste and inefficiencies.”
