As a corporate citizen, PowerSeraya aims to actively engage everyone in the community in environmental-related activities and empower individuals to make a difference in the way we live.

Internal Initiatives

PowerSeraya has organised a series of internal initiatives over the years to raise the level of environmental awareness among our employees. In addition, they are given the opportunity to lend their volunteering efforts towards meaningful events organised regularly with external organisations and partners.

For example, a talk conducted by the Waterways Watch Society was organised for employees and held in conjunction with Earth Day 2008 to drive home the essential message of water conservation and waterways cleanliness. This was further reinforced by a waterways clean-up activity where PowerSeraya employees volunteered their time to clean up the Singapore River.

On an on-going basis, the company also has an active paper recycling and print cartridge programme where employees are encouraged to recycle used print cartridges and paper by placing them in designated recycling bins.

External Initiatives

One Degree Up Challenge

For two consecutive years since 2008, PowerSeraya jointly organised the One Degree Up Challenge with Mapletree to mark World Environment Day in June. This initiative, which was supported by the National Environment Agency (NEA), aimed to bring home the message of energy conservation to our staff as well as office tenants working in the same office building by raising our corporate office’s air-conditioning temperature by 1 degree celsius in efforts to reduce energy consumption.

Earth Hour Initiative

As part of its efforts to conserve energy, PowerSeraya initiated its very own Earth Hour Initiative in 2008 and 2009 where employees observed a one hour lights-off during lunch hours.

As PowerSeraya is committed to delivering reliable and efficient energy solutions through its retail arm Seraya Energy, we saw the Earth Hour Initiative as an additional opportunity to engage and educate our customers on the topic of energy conservation. For that reason, we encouraged Seraya Energy customers to also participate in the Earth Hour initiative with us. 

Making Sense of Electricity Bills

In a bid to help customers achieve savings from energy consumption, PowerSeraya’s retail arm Seraya Energy has gone the extra mile to introduce new features under its customer portal, SEnergy. These include real time online access to bills and consumption reports as well as easy retrieval of customised reports or graphs over a 12-month period. With such features, customers are able to better assess and monitor their energy consumption, thereby making it easier to manage their future energy consumption.

In addition, Seraya Energy provides practical energy saving tips under the portal to educate customers on simple office acts or practices that can be adopted to reduce energy consumption.  

Energy Efficiency Training

As part of an on-going initiative to help customers manage their energy consumption more efficiently, Seraya Energy teamed up with United Premas to offer customers a complimentary Energy Efficiency Training Course in 2008 and 2009. Attended by facility managers and engineers, the course covered efficiency issues in air conditioning, air handling and heat recovery systems design, as well as energy benchmarking and audits. Following which, participants were also given a complimentary review and assessment of energy usage of their office premises.

Green Mark Seminar

To strengthen Seraya Energy’s green positioning and customer retention through value-added services, Seraya Energy organised a “Towards Green Mark Certification” seminar in October 2008. During the seminar, customers learned about the requirements for Green Mark certification and measures that they could implement to achieve a better green mark score. Seraya Energy also took the opportunity to launch a new product category – Green^Plus – where Green-related energy solutions were bundled with electricity packages to provide not only greater, but also ‘greener’ options for customers.
