“Technology has the power to inform and educate the wider public about sustainability issues. The revamped site takes this to a whole new level, by enabling a better reading experience for readers, and by offering clients a simple and sleek way of managing and tracking their communications,” said Eco-Business founder Jessica Cheam.
“The team has worked very hard over the past year rebuilding the whole site from scratch onto a far more powerful and scaleable platform. As Asia becomes the global centre of trade and economic activity, we are firmly committed to help it grow on a sustainable, low carbon path. The new site demonstrates our strategic move to stay relevant in a world where business-as-usual is no longer an option, and strengthens our position as the leading sustainability portal in Asia Pacific.”
Sustainability campaigner Olivia Choong, who is the co-founder of Green Drinks Singapore, said: “Eco-Business has become the quintessential resource for news on sustainability in Asia-Pacific, with well-updated events and green jobs listings, and it offers invaluable support to the sustainability efforts of businesses in this region. The revamped website looks smart and new features such as the client dashboard will further help to communicate developments in the area of sustainability.”
