AECOM, the world’s trusted infrastructure consulting firm, today announced the establishment of the AECOM Sustainable Legacies Centre of Excellence (CoE) in Singapore. The CoE will serve as a hub for innovation, training, and thought leadership that will further enhance the sustainable engineering skills of AECOM’s Singapore employees. The Centre will benefit from insights derived from AECOM’s Sustainable Legacies strategy, which seeks to embed ESG principles across the work the Company delivers for its clients around the world.

The CoE comprises three components: 

• Sustainable Legacies Academy: Employees will undergo structured training programmes and technical workshops conducted by AECOM’s global ESG experts 
• ESG Project Management: Employees will be given secondment opportunities to AECOM’s global offices to contribute to key sustainability projects 
• Thought Leadership: AECOM will organise regular industry forums to promote sustainability efforts in Singapore 

Through the CoE, AECOM hopes to train more than 100 employees for sustainability roles over the next three years to support the growing pipeline of sustainability projects in Singapore and the region. 

The CoE aligns with the Singapore Green Plan 2030, which charts ambitious and concrete targets in support of the UN’s 2030 Sustainable Development Agenda and Paris Agreement, as well as Singapore’s goal of achieving net zero emissions by 2050.
