Grab, Sembcorp installs 182 solar panels at SATA CommHealth Headquarters

The installation is part of Grab’s Green Programme.

Grab Singapore and Sembcorp Industries announced the installation of 182 solar panels on the rooftop of SATA CommHealth Headquarters.

The solar panel system will power 10% of the headquarter’s energy requirements annually, contributing to SATA CommHealth’s overall sustainability goals.

The solar panels are made possible by Grab’s Green Programme, which was first announced in July 2021. Consumers can opt to contribute $0.10 to the Green Programme with every transport ride or GrabFood delivery order. This goes towards offsetting their carbon footprint and funding solarisation projects in Singapore.

The Programme has since raised more than $600k, which includes contribution from consumers for the Green Programme, and $300k from Grab.

The Green Programme, which is currently introduced for Transport and Deliveries (Food) services, will also be extended to GrabMart orders in Q4 2022.

Besides partnering with Sembcorp, Grab purchases carbon credits generated from the Katingan Mentaya Project in Indonesia. The project restores and conserves endangered peatland habitats, preventing the release of greenhouse gases equivalent to 7.5 million tonnes of carbon dioxide each year. The project also helps local communities create jobs, improve soil quality and food production.

In 2021, more than 2,300 tonnes of greenhouse gas emissions have been offsetted.

The people you want to reach are already in this room.

Every quarter, SBR lands on the desks of the founders, CFOs, and directors running Asia's most consequential companies. Every day, they open our newsletter and read our website. It's a room that took twenty years to build — and it's the one most of our partners are trying to get into.

The good news is that the door is open. We work with companies on thought leadership articles, sponsored content, industry summits across Southeast Asia, regional awards programmes, podcasts, and media placements in print and digital. The shape of the right partnership depends on what you're trying to do, which is why we'd rather start with a conversation than send a rate card.

If you have something this room should know about, tell us. We'll tell you honestly whether we can help, and how.

No rate cards until we understand the brief. It's a better use of everyone's time.
