“Microsoft has announced that it will require its vendors to file annual sustainability reports.

“Starting in 2013, the software company will require a ‘cross section’ of its suppliers to provide reports on their adherence to the requirements listed in the existing Microsoft Vendor Code of Conduct.

“The new reporting mechanism will work alongside Microsoft’s existing auditing and assurance programmes, which include third-party monitoring of its contract hardware manufacturers. The reporting requirement will also drive sustainability improvements in Microsoft’s supply chain, according to the company.

“Microsoft said it will begin informing a dozen of its key vendors about the new reporting process in the coming months. Starting 2013, Microsoft will include a summary of information from the vendor reports in its annual Citizenship Report. Vendors also will be encouraged to make their reports public. The programme will continue to be evaluated in subsequent years to identify options to expand it and provide further visibility to shareholders.”

So, businesses of Singapore. Would you like to be a “key vendor” to Microsoft? I know I would. Start sustainability reporting now.

Have I mentioned I am a PC user? Ha!

The Singapore Environment Council (SEC) is happy to announce the re-branding of its volunteer programme, we are now called Earth Helpers!!

We hope that you will continue to support us in our efforts to spread the green message across Singapore. We have launched a self-service portal that now allows you to sign-up for activities online and allows you to update your profile and to keep track of your past volunteer experience, activities and programmes.

To inject some excitement, we are implementing a new recognition system for all our volunteers. We shall not spoil the surprise, so do stay tuned for more updates on this.

We invite both corporations and individuals to sign up as Earth Helpers with us and they will be able to choose from an array of projects with different communities and industry groups. Short stints will be available for those who have limited time to commit to a project.

We need you as our current volunteer to create an account with us so we can both keep in touch better. We request that you provide us with some details such as your personal areas of interests in volunteering for the environment and if you have any special skills that can help us in matching you to the right activity. Please help us fill in the online form, it will only take a few minutes.

Don’t wait! Sign up as an Earth Helper today.
