Commitment to the Environment
ISOTeam’s green in our logo
represents our commitment to
environmental stewardship and
adding environmental value to
everything we do. This means we
constantly look for new and/or
innovative ways to reduce our carbon
footprint by preventing pollution,
minimising waste and efficiently
utilising resources in the course of
our work as well as doing our part to
clean up the environment.
We pride ourselves on being an
early adopter of environmentally-
friendly methods and products.
This has positively impacted the
way every employee thinks and
works – striving to reuse, reduce
and recycle all office and work-site
resources. We also encourage
employees to share their ideas to
work in a greener way by circulating
paperless memos within the group.
This has resulted in substantial
savings in resources, namely paper,
filing space and man-hours spent on
administrative matters.
As a leader in the building
maintenance and estate upgrading
industry in Singapore, we are
responsible to current and future
generations of Singaporeans to
build, maintain and upgrade their
estates responsibly. The three main
pillars under our green leadership
programme that guide us are our
Green Construction Methodology,
Green Procurement Policy and
Green Partnerships.
This green mantle has led to the
Group adopting many eco-friendly
methodologies and products that
have come to replace industry
standards in recent years. By
calculating the life-cycle costs
of our green solutions in project
tenders, we show our clients that
while initial costs may appear
higher, green solutions tend to be
more durable and therefore more
cost-effective when calculated over
the longer lifespan of the product.
Underscoring this, ISOTeam has
expanded its operations into the
renewable energy installation sector
for solar panels and hydrogen fuel
cells as back-up power generators
for lifts in HDB blocks. In addition, the
Group has continued to introduce
more green products under its
proprietary in-house brand to its
line-up including its Methyl
Methacrylate system and anti-slip
floor treatment coating. Further,
we are also developing green label
fireproof intumescent paint and
exploring new fireproof products
such as electrical cables and trays.
We also have a Green Movement
Committee set up internally to initiate
green efforts and organise activities
for the Group. On 3 October 2015,
the Group, in collaboration with
the National Parks Board, organised
a beach clean-up drive at Changi
Beach where more than 60 ISOTeam
staff worked to clear the beach of
rubbish and waste material.
Our motivation to go green has
resulted in us being awarded
ISO 14001:2004 (Environmental
Management System)
(1)
and our
headquarters building being
awarded with the Green Mark
Certification. We are also a
Corporate Member of the Singapore
Green Building Council and became
one of the first companies in the
refurbishment sector to clinch the
Green and Gracious Builder Award
(Excellent) by the BCA.
Over 60 ISOTeam employees were involved in
our beach clean-up drive at Changi Beach.
