The Resource and Carbon Division (RCD) works as a team with internal stakeholders (e.g. Accounts Group) and external stakeholders (e.g. private companies and other government agencies) to develop policies and products that promote competitive and sustainable use of key resources for industrial activities in Singapore. This will be in domains such as land, electricity, water, environment and greenhouse gas emissions.

The division is responsible for developing policies and frameworks that optimise use of Singapore’s resources, managing resource trade-offs across industry sub-sectors, galvanizing climate action within the industry, and long-term resource planning for industry. In the course of your work, you will have the opportunity to understand the resource needs of industry and to develop the appropriate solutions to ensure its long-term competitiveness.
