The Building and Construction Authority (BCA) has been championing green buildings in Singapore for years. With an ambitious goal to achieve an 80% green building rate by 2030, the Green Mark certification has become a key tool in driving sustainability. As environmental awareness among Singaporeans continues to rise, there is a growing opportunity to translate this momentum into concrete, widespread action.
The Problem: Awareness Without Action
Even with clear benefits, from lower energy and maintenance savings to a stronger brand reputation, there was a clear opportunity to help more business owners embark on their Green Mark journey. Many simply needed greater clarity, reduced friction, and stronger assurance of the returns on their efforts. For everyday Singaporeans, sustainability efforts often took place behind the scenes, making it difficult to see the tangible impact of individual actions. With environmental consciousness on the rise, the moment was right for BCA to make sustainability more visible, relatable, and worth celebrating, turning interest into active participation.
The Solution: Making Green Visible Through Social Media
To seize this opportunity, we created two innovative social media series: Guess the Green Marked Building and Proven Performers. Each series was designed to amplify awareness, spark recognition, and strengthen the motivation to embrace greener choices.
1. Guess the Green Marked Building: Gamifying Sustainability
This interactive series transformed certified buildings into familiar, recognisable landmarks. By inviting the public to guess the featured building, it turned sustainability into a simple, engaging touchpoint. The content helped people associate Green Mark with physical spaces they encounter in daily life, making the idea of “green buildings” more accessible and relevant.
2. Proven Performers: Demonstrating Long-Term Impact
To address doubts about the tangible business benefits of Green Mark, we also launched Proven Performers, a series highlighting buildings that achieved exceptional energy performance standards and maintained them over time.
Through striking visuals and clear performance metrics, this series showcased long-term ROI by highlighting reduced energy consumption and lower operational costs demonstrating that green buildings make both financial and environmental sense. Additionally, by featuring actual buildings and their sustained performance, BCA provided proof that certification brings measurable value, reinforcing the business case for sustainability.
The Outcome: Turning Awareness into Action
By gamifying engagement and showcasing tangible results, BCA was able to make sustainability visible, relatable, and motivating. Individuals could see that small actions, like choosing a Green Mark-certified office or supporting eco-conscious businesses, can contribute to a larger movement. Business owners could witness clear benefits, from branding opportunities to cost savings, helping bridge the intention-action gap.
