About Green Compass™

Green Compass™ aims to help companies become more environmentally sustainable. Currently, some companies may not know where to start or how to scale up their environmental sustainability transformation, as they face a wide range of environmental sustainability issues and an even wider range of actions that they can take to address these issues.

Through a four-step Learn-Assess-Prioritise-Plan model, Green Compass™ will guide companies in their environmental sustainability transformation. It can be used by companies at any stage of their transformation journey.

Companies can utilise Green Compass™ through the A*STAR's "Substainability Transformation through Green Compass™ (16 hours)" course.
