Singapore's MICE Sustainability Roadmap

Singapore is a City in Nature where large experiences come with small footprints. We are minimising our impact on the environment and shaping a greener future for events with lasting legacies.

Singapore’s MICE Sustainability Roadmap 2.0

The MICE Sustainability Roadmap 2.0, launched by Singapore Tourism Board (STB) and Singapore Association of Convention & Exhibition Organisers & Suppliers (SACEOS), sets out targets and strategies to raise sustainability standards across Singapore's MICE industry.

The roadmap is guided by the Singapore Green Plan 2030 and the United Nations (UN) Sustainable Development Goals. Roadmap 2.0 expands its focus beyond environmental sustainability to encompass social and economic sustainability, reflecting a more holistic approach to building a resilient and responsible MICE industry. Our targets are as follows:

Environmental Sustainability:

  • 1. Develop a MICE Decarbonisation Framework by 2028.

  • 2. Continue to track waste and carbon emissions, with a view to reducing waste and achieving net-zero emissions by 2050.

Social Sustainability:

  • 3. Develop a partnership framework for partners and suppliers to work with MICE event organisers by 2027.

  • 4. Develop a MICE Industry Social Impact Playbook by 2028.

Economic Sustainability:

  • 5. Quantify the economic importance of sustainability to the MICE ecosystem by building a business case for sustainability adoption, including conducting a dedicated study by 2028.
