How could you help TMI users ?
Expertise
What brought you to sustainability?

We work in an industry that uses huge amounts of natural resources and typically generates over 60% of landfill waste and GHG emissions. After being in this industry for many years, I couldn't deal with the guilt anymore!

Together with my team at Concourse, we started to try to address this issue through designing out waste and using new resources sparingly. It has been a tough but very rewarding journey.

Which challenges did you meet and how did you overcome them?

The construction industry is very linear and a huge beast that is very difficult to implement change. We are providing solutions to deal with the linear construction economy whilst it transitions to a more circular economy. For example, we have set up an online marketplace to collect, repair & sell used furniture & equipment for the F&B industry. This ensures these items have a second or third life whilst providing cost effective solutions for the F&B industry.

We are passionate in assisting Clients who want to start or further their sustainable journey.

What are you most proud of?

It has taken a long time but we are proud to be one of the top circular design & project implementation companies in Singapore.
