Keppel Land has also ceaselessly
championed the energy-saving, recycling
and water conservation programmes. In
efforts to secure a better and greener
tomorrow for planet earth, staff are
continuously encouraged to recycle and
reuse. Old newspapers and used papers,
averaging ten cartons a month, are sold to
a recycling agency, and the proceeds are
in turn donated to charity. Old books and
magazines are donated to a social
organisation every year, while old computers
were refurbished and sold to staff at a
nominal sum.
For its efforts in going green, Hotel
Inter-Continental Singapore won the

at the Public Relations in the Service of
Mankind Awards 2000, adding to the
numerous environmental awards the hotel
has bagged since its opening in 1995.

At our Indonesian resort Ria Bintan, the
architecture of the Forest Course cleverly
circumvents existing natural contours, showcasing
and opening wildlife corridors. The integrated
design ensures that the “one-with-nature”
theme permeates the entire resort.
