Morning Light | Morning Light Focus: New Concept of Carbon Handprint Helps You More Actively Reduce Carbon

Recently, our company was featured in a collaborative interview with DBS Bank, where we discussed ways to reduce carbon waste and promote sustainable business practices. During the segment, our Director, Michael, shared valuable insights on-screen about how companies like ours can play a proactive role in reducing environmental impact through smarter resource management and innovative green initiatives.

LDC General Construction Pte ltd Director, Michael lim, shared: “We’ve encountered several major companies that require us to undergo environmental and governance assessments. If we don’t meet the standards, we won’t even be invited to participate in their tenders.” Singapore’s carbon tax has also been raised — from S$5 to S$25 per tonne of greenhouse gas emissions starting this year, and it is expected to increase further to between S$50 and S$80 per tonne by 2030. Although the tax currently applies mainly to large emitters — such as data centers and semiconductor companies that produce more than 25,000 tonnes of greenhouse gases annually — the ripple effects through supply chains mean that more businesses are now seeking professional carbon accounting and reduction strategies.
