Advancing Singapore Towards Net Zero
Schneider Electric has been operating in Singapore for over 50 years. As the nation progresses, we remain committed to helping it achieve sustainable future growth, particularly its aim of attaining net-zero emissions by 2050 and Singapore Green Plan 2030.
Singapore’s Net Zero 2050 Vision
Singapore’s Net Zero 2050 vision underscores that everyone—governments, industries, businesses of all sizes, and individuals—has a crucial role to play in accelerating the low-carbon transition.
The Net Zero 2050 vision is a bold and transformative goal that aims to achieve net zero emissions by 2050, positioning the nation as a global leader in sustainability. This vision is driven by the Long-Term Low-Emissions Development Strategy (LEDS), which outlines a comprehensive approach to reducing emissions and fostering a low-carbon economy. Key initiatives include accelerating the transition in industry, economy, and society through energy efficiency improvements, carbon pricing, and green financing. Investments in cutting-edge technologies such as carbon capture utilization and storage (CCUS), low-carbon hydrogen, and electric vehicles are pivotal to this strategy.
The Singapore Green Plan 2030
The Singapore Green Plan 2030, or the Green Plan, is a national movement to advance Singapore’s national agenda on sustainable development. The Green Plan charts ambitious and concrete targets over the next 10 years, strengthening Singapore’s commitments under the United Nations 2030 Sustainable Development Agenda and Paris Agreement, and positioning Singapore to achieve its long-term net zero emissions aspiration as soon as viable.
The nation’s ambitious Green Plan 2030 strategy is built on five key pillars--- City in Nature, Energy Reset, Sustainable Living, Green Economy and Resilient Future.
By leveraging our expertise, Schneider Electric can play a critical role in accelerating Singapore’s Net Zero journey, ensuring a sustainable, digital, and resilient future for all.

Singapore Green Pulse Survey (August 2022)
Singapore’s Green Plan 2030 has made sustainability fundamental in the country’s growth and development. As part of our commitment to champion sustainability ambitions and accelerate action, Schneider Electric launched the Singapore Green Pulse Survey which aims to track the sentiments, attitudes and perceptions towards sustainability in Singapore over time. The survey also serves as a follow-up to our Building a Greener Singapore report.
For the second edition of the survey, Schneider Electric interviewed over 500 Singaporeans in June 2022 about topics relating to Singapore’s green transition, with focus on sustainable living.
Building a Greener Singapore 2022
This second edition of our Building a Greener Singapore report looks at the progress of organisations in Singapore around sustainability performance, with a focus on energy transition, over a 12-month period. The study finds that considerable positive momentum has been achieved across many areas, particularly in implementing sustainability policies and strategies, advancing climate change planning, and applying new technologies. It also highlights new challenges that are emerging in areas such as management buy-in, employment engagement, and culture change as plans move from strategic to active phases of implementation.
Singapore Green Pulse Survey (April 2022)
The first edition of the Singapore Green Pulse Survey was conducted in March 2022 and focused on key topics relating to the green transition priorities outlined in the Singapore Green Plan 2030 and announced as part of Singapore’s 2022 Budget.
