In line with Singapore’s Green Plan 2030 and the Paris Agreement, the Singapore Green Building Product (SGBP) certification plays a critical role in advancing the Built Environment’s sustainability goals. Closely aligned with the BCA Green Mark Scheme, the SGBP label helps developers and building owners achieve higher Green Mark ratings while reducing environmental impact.
Why SGBP-Certified Cables Matter to Developers and Building Owners
Green Mark Points
Using SGBP-certified products directly contributes to the Sustainable Products & Finishes section of BCA’s Green Mark assessment.
The higher the SGBP rating (Certified → Merit → Excellent → Leader), the more points your project can claim.
Support Environmental Responsibility
Even when a project is not Green Mark-certified, using SGBP products still reduces embodied carbon, promotes responsible material use, and supports Singapore’s transition to a low-carbon economy.
What the SGBP Certification Means
The SGBP evaluates building products across their life cycle impact, from material sourcing and manufacturing to recyclability and emissions.
Good (1 Tick)
Meets minimum green criteria for building materials.
Very Good (2 Ticks)
Demonstrates improved sustainability practices.
Excellent (3 Ticks)
Achieves strong environmental and health performance.
Leader (4 Ticks)
Exemplary product meeting the highest sustainability benchmarks.
What It Means for a Cable Manufacturer
For cable producers, achieving SGBP certification requires meeting rigorous standards in:
Raw-material Selection
Use of low-toxicity compounds and controlled heavy-metal content.
Manufacturing Efficiency
Energy- and water-efficient processes, waste minimisation, and emissions tracking.
Product Performance
Ensuring cables remain durable, safe, and compliant with electrical standards while meeting environmental criteria. These audits and life-cycle assessments push manufacturers to adopt cleaner production methods without compromising performance.
