Our Green Efforts
Carbon Neutral-Certified
ABCC 2011 is carbon neutral-certified. All disposable utensils used for meals throughout the competition will be biodegradable. Paper used during the course of the competition will be sent to an eco-friendly company for recycling. Also, carbon emissions generated throughout the competition will be offset through the purchase of carbon credits from The CarbonNeutral Company.Xperience Singapore
ABCC 2011 also aims to instill a sense of sustainability in its participants. As such, participants will be traveling around Singapore via public transport for the Xperience Singapore segment. Notably, the theme of sustainability will be charted through a visit to the Marina Barrage – the island's largest and most urbanized water catchment. At the Barrage, participants will visit the Sustainable Singapore Gallery, which showcases the island's successful efforts in making use of limited resources to meet the needs of a rapidly developing society, in an environmentally-friendly manner.Sustainability Roundtable
The theme for this year's Sustainability Roundtable event is "Sustainability: Today's Challenges, Tomorrow's Solutions". Participants will engage in active discussions with industry guests about sustainable initiatives that would not only overcome current obstacles but also address long-term issues. Industry guests participating in this event will include professionals from the media industry, the financial services sector, as well as the manufacturing industry. Publicity
The ABCC website is hosted by Sgnix, which believes in eco-friendliness towards the environment. In using Sgnix's wind-powered servers, we contribute to the environment by protecting 1271 acres of forest every year.
Publicity campaigns will mostly be carried out through social media like Facebook and YouTube. This maximizes our reach in an environmentally-friendly manner through the reduced need for printed materials.
