There are many environmentally proactive people in Singapore who contributed to the environment, each in their own ways. Coming from all sectors of the community - individuals from the public and private sectors, school teachers and students, NGO volunteers and grassroots members, these individuals have sacrificed their personal time and effort to protect, promote and enhance our clean & green environment.
Through their collective efforts, everyone benefited from the outcome of a clean and green Singapore. The EcoFriend Award was established to recognise their efforts and achievements, as well as to encourage them to continue and expand their efforts in caring for the environment. We look forward to welcoming more individuals on board the EcoFriend family.
All efforts made by a nominee in protecting, promoting and enhancing Singapore's clean & green environment over the past two to five years will be taken into account in the selection of recipients for the awards.
