In addition, Singtel has raised the height of all its base stations to “at least 5m above sea level” to reduce flood risk, adds Yuen.
Singtel has unveiled its environmental sustainability strategy, which includes plans to certify all new buildings to Green Mark Platinum, the highest level of certification under the Building and Construction Authority’s (BCA) scheme.
This includes Singtel’s Comcentre headquarters along Orchard Road, where redevelopment works are expected to be complete by end-2028. When ready, the building will be “100% carbon-neutral”, says Singtel group chief executive officer Yuen Kuan Moon on March 27.
