The title was conferred to Resorts World Sentosa at the inaugural of Singapore MICE Award, organised by the Singapore Association of Convention and Exhibition Organisers and Suppliers supported by the Singapore Exhibitions and Convention Bureau. The award recognises the achievements and contributions of MICE stakeholders in Singapore in delivering sustainable practices in MICE.
Resorts World Sentosa is actively pursuing best-in-class sustainability practices and is, making steady progress towards becoming a carbon-neutral destination by 2023.
It has set the bar as a top sustainable events destination, most notably by being the first in the world to achieve the coveted Events Industry Council’s Platinum Certification based on its latest 2022 Sustainable Event Standards (Venue).
In August 2021, Resorts World Sentosa made a mark as the first destination in the world to achieve both the Global Sustainable Tourism Council Destination Criteria and GSTC Industry Criteria for Hotels.
Among Resort World Sentosa’s latest key sustainability practices include commissioning works to quadruple its solar panel sites in 2023, and its holistic waste management system which has reduced the integrated resort’s operational waste-to-landfill intensity by nearly half, or 49.3 percent since it became fully operational through its various initiatives and recycling of 10 waste streams.
Recently, Resort World Sentosa inked a partnership with Honeywell Building Technologies to set up Singapore’s first large-scale cloud-based Building Management System to drive energy reduction and de-carbonisation as part of Resort World Sentosa’s wider goal to achieve carbon neutrality by 2030.
