Singapore Sustainability Academy (SSA)
Sustainability has always been deeply rooted in CDL’s heritage. Aside from embedding sustainability in our business, we also saw the opportunity to leverage our track record as a leading green builder to promote sustainability within the community. Tapping on our network of partners and expertise in green buildings, we designed and built the SSA, which opened on World Environment Day, 5 June 2017.
Building a sustainable future requires the collaboration of a larger ecosystem. Designed and built by CDL with industry partners in 2017, the Singapore Sustainability Academy (SSA) is the first ground-up initiative and zero-energy facility in Singapore dedicated to capacity building and thought leadership for climate action. It involves an extensive partnership with six government agencies and 15 industry and NGO partners.
A hub for networking, the SSA provides a platform for industries, youths and the community to share knowledge and build partnerships for a more sustainable future. This includes supporting national environmental and climate plans, such as the Singapore Green Plan 2030, Singapore’s Long-Term Low-Emissions Development Strategy, as well as championing the global achievement of the SDGs.
Since its opening on 5 June 2017 to end-2022, the SSA has hosted more than 780 sustainability-related training programmes and advocacy events, involving over 27,800 attendees.
Registration for Virtual SSA workshops is free. Follow CDL Sustainability on Facebook, Instagram, LinkedIn and YouTube to get the latest news.

In addition to using sustainably sourced materials certified by Nature’s Barcode System, the SSA also features 3,200 square feet of solar PV panels on its roof, generating 60,000 kWh per year.
