Over the past two months, our Rothman & Roman Group team in Singapore 🇸🇬 had attended and successfully completed the Green Compass™ programme, and we are stoked to announce that they are now certified consultants in the field of environmental sustainability! 🙌🏼🧑🏼💻 A joint initiative by Singapore Institute of Manufacturing Technology (A*STAR - Agency for Science, Technology and Research), TÜV SÜD, and JTC Corporation, Green Compass™ is essentially an environmental sustainability assessment and strategic roadmapping tool, designed to help businesses chart a clear path toward a greener future. 🌳 Many companies today are eager to embrace environmental sustainability, but may not know where to begin or how to scale their efforts. Green Compass™ aims to provide comprehensive solutions and aid businesses in navigating complex sustainability challenges by managing their carbon emissions 💨, energy use ⚡️, water 💧, and waste impacts 🚮, all while creating strategic roadmaps tailored to their current sustainability level. 🌱 Huge shoutout to Singapore Manufacturing Federation, for introducing and encouraging us to attend this course; We are grateful for all the valuable lessons learnt and of course, the amazing new connections made in the process - Clement Teo, Audrey Woo, Helmy Sarpan, Gabbie N., Chee Leong Yeo, Stephen Tan, Liat Boon Lek, Soo Lin Goh 吴素琳, Jonathan Low, Chris Chan, Marianela Cardelle and the larger A*STAR and TÜV SÜD teams. 💚 At Rothman & Roman Group, we are always excited to support businesses on their journey toward becoming more sustainable, and we look forward to helping them utilise Green Compass™ to drive meaningful environmental change. 🌿🌞 For more information, visit https://lnkd.in/gnfxPtyg Kaylene Wong Tashan Kassey Kalleichelven Diana Estella Peter Zsofia BALATONI Robert Romai #GreenCompass #Sustainability #EnvironmentalSustainability #ClimateChange #RothmanAndRoman #SustainableBusiness #winningwithpurpose

🌍 On #WorldEnvironmentDay, Professor Xiang Zhang, JP, President and Vice-Chancellor of The University of Hong Kong, highlights the significance of the newly launched HKU Jockey Club Enterprise Sustainability Global Research Institute: “There is a special meaning in launching the HKU Jockey Club Enterprise Sustainability Global Research Institute and holding the Inaugural ESG forum of the Institute on World Environment Day, as we are in the midst of environmental issues and climate change. This is a complex problem and no single discipline can solve this multifaceted challenge alone. So it is vital for this Institute to study and research the multi-dimensional aspects of industries like business and academia we find ourselves in.” 🌱🌏 Together, we can shape a brighter, more sustainable future!

🚨 Did you know? The Asia Pacific region accounts for over half of the global diesel generator market, contributing a staggering 101 million tons of CO2 emissions every year! That's equivalent to the exhaust of 26 million cars all pumping out dirty CO2 into our atmosphere. 😱 But there’s a better way forward! 🌱 Oxgrin’s ammonia-powered generators are here to tackle this problem head-on. Delivering all the benefits of traditional diesel gensets, our technology provides reliable, resilient electricity — but without the carbon footprint. Zero emissions, same reliability! I’m excited to share more about this game-changing solution at the Chinachem Group Sustainability Conference on 7th November 2024, alongside an inspiring panel of experts: Rosie Chan, Shangchen Zhang, Prof. Martin ZHU, with Olivia To as our moderator. We’ll discuss how innovative companies like Oxgrin can lead the charge in driving positive change and disrupting industries for a more sustainable future.
