SMF president wants to help SMEs go green
Tessa Oh
MANUFACTURERS must make a start on longer-term issues such as sustainability, even as they tackle immediate problems such as manpower and costs – and the Singapore Manufacturing Federation (SMF) will help them to do so, with training and expert support.
One of SMF’s four priorities is encouraging companies – specifically, small- and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) – to go green, said president Lennon Tan, who took office last May.
The other priorities are productivity, internationalisation and human capital. This is in line with the government’s Manufacturing 2030 goal of growing Singapore’s manufacturing sector by 50 per cent by 2030.
