Working with the Singapore Environment Council, we were the pilot hotel for this Singapore-based Eco Hotel certification scheme. Currently, Siloso Beach Resort still stands as the only hotel to receive this award, but we hope that by having this certification in place, other hotels in Singapore will be encouraged to adopt more environmentally friendly practices.

"Singapore Environment Council is an independently managed, non-profit, non-government organisation, and institution of public character that nurtures, facilitates and co-ordinates environmental causes in Singapore. SEC reaches out to the public through its educational, community and industrial arms."

The Singapore G1 is a race event created by the Singapore Environment Council to encourage the use of environmentally friendly transportation. As one of the sponsors of the event, we were invited to participate in buggy race and decorate our buggy accordingly. Using a plant based theme, and made entirely out of items and plants that are reusable for other decoration, our buggy fit well with the message of the G1 event and took home the Best Costume Award.
