PowerSeraya seeks to empower our future generation with knowledge on environmental issues so they can play their part by taking small but significant steps to care for the environment, as well as spread the green message to others.

Outreach Activities with Greenridge Secondary School

Under the Corporate And Schools Partnership Programme of the National Environment Agency (NEA), PowerSeraya has a long-term partnership with Greenridge Secondary School to promote environmental stewardship to students and residents of the Zhenghua community, where Greenridge is located.

PowerSeraya has sponsored various outreach projects organised by Greenridge Secondary School. These included ‘Care for the Community, Care of the Environment' in July 2008, which saw Greenridge students exhibiting their environmental projects to the public at Bukit Panjang Plaza. Prior to the event, PowerSeraya employees also had the opportunity to either contribute used garments or volunteer their time to help Greenridge students produce toys made from recycled materials.

In a further collaboration, the company also committed S$170,000 to fund the building of an Environmental Learning Hub at Greenridge. The Hub aims to provide Greenridge students with the opportunity to learn about environmental issues in a fun way and also serve as a resource centre for eleven schools in the vicinity. Launched in August 2009, the Hub has an estimated outreach potential of 11,000 students, 770 education staff and the Zhenghua community at large. 

International Costal Cleanup with Singapore Polytechnic

PowerSeraya and Singapore Polytechnic joined hands for two years running to participate in the annual International Coastal Cleanup in 2008 and 2009. The cleanup covered a stretch of beach along the East Coast Parkway to collect litter and gather data at the same time. PowerSeraya staff and students from Singapore Polytechnic worked together to collect more than 20kg of debris items for both years. These data collected were then analysed by the NUS Raffles Museum of Biodiversity Research – Singapore’s representative of the International Coastal Cleanup – to serve as useful information for government organisations e.g. the National Environment Agency (NEA) and the Ministry of the Environment and Water Resources (MEWR), for purposes of public education and the formulation of future legislation on marine protection.
