AECOM establishes Sustainable Legacies Centre of Excellence in Singapore

19 Feb 2023•1 min read

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.

"Singapore has risen rapidly as a global leader in sustainable development thanks to exceptional talent and the city nation’s bold approach to addressing environmental issues. We’re proud to continue to partner with the Singapore Economic Development Board, or EDB, to deepen Singapore’s extensive expertise in this growing field. The Centre presents a promising partnership opportunity, one that will build on our leading environmental, sustainability and resilience capabilities as we drive forward our Sustainable Legacies strategy, and Singapore’s own Green Plan 2030."

AECOM

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. 

"As cities and industries accelerate their green plans, the demand for sustainability talent, especially in the engineering field, will continue to grow. We are heartened that through AECOM’s Centre of Excellence, Singaporeans will get more opportunities to reskill or upskill to take on new and exciting sustainability roles. We believe the Centre’s work will create a spillover effect which will benefit Singapore, AECOM and the region, and look forward to a continued strong partnership with AECOM to create new sustainable solutions in infrastructure development."

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.
