Our Mission
To ensure a clean, sustainable environment, and supply of water and safe food for Singapore.
Our Strategy Framework
As the core of the Framework, the Vision guides and connects to three desired outcomes.
A Sustainable Future
A sustainable future is MSE Family’s commitment to manage our environment responsibly with Singaporeans and for future generations of Singaporeans. This outcome encompasses our efforts to build sustainable pathways for key waste streams, decarbonisation, and manage water demand.
A Climate-Resilient Singapore
A climate-resilient Singapore focuses on areas of responsibilities under the National Adaptation Plan, where we will step up adaptation planning, and manage inland flooding and bolstering coastal protection. This outcome includes our efforts to safeguard food and water resources amidst expected disruptions over the next decade.
A Clean and Liveable Everyday
A clean and liveable everyday reflects efforts to maintain standards in environmental public health, environment protection, food safety and water quality. This outcome also encompasses the basic hygiene factors across a spectrum of workstreams that quietly but directly affect Singaporeans’ everyday lives.
