Through the GreenGov initiative, the government has committed to the public its aim to achieve net-zero emissions by approximately 2045. Furthermore, it has established clear and measurable milestones to facilitate progress across all agencies. Since the year 2021, agencies have utilised the eGreenGov portal, which is housed within the National Environment Agency’s Waste and Resource Management System (WRMS), to report various environmental data of their respective premises.

The Public Sector Sustainability Office (PSSO) reviews the progress of agencies, provides updates to the Cabinet, and produces the annual GreenGov report championing the GreenGov initiative. They intend to help agencies identify opportunities to improve resource efficiency and climate resilience, and partner them to streamline the process of implementing these improvements.
