Tigers and elephants are not the sole victims of illegal wildlife trade
“1 in 3 Singaporeans who have encountered illegal wildlife trade have encountered it online.”
Singapore’s strong connectivity and efficient transportation network makes it a potential route for trafficking syndicates to move endangered wildlife and their products. They enter Singapore from source countries in Southeast Asia and Africa, and are shipped out to large consumer markets such as China and Europe.
Driven by demand for their exotic meat, perceived medicinal benefits and as pets, illegal wildlife trade is a big, lucrative business—the fourth largest illegal trade in the world. To make matters worse, advances in digital connectivity have increased the ease of exchange of wildlife from poacher to consumer.

“Plastics are so resilient that they can take up to 400 years to decompose!”
To achieve the vision of No Plastics in Nature by 2030, Plastic ACTion (PACT) is working towards the elimination of all unnecessary plastics, reduction of single-use waste and movement towards a circular economy.
What we do
Started by WWF-Singapore and based on WWF’s No Plastic in Nature Initiative, Plastic ACTion (PACT) is a business initiative that aims to reduce waste and move towards a circular economy. The programme empowers companies to adapt their business models and processes to be more resource-efficient.
By providing businesses with guidance and resources to help reduce their plastic consumption, this will lower their environmental footprint, and address the growing consumer demand for sustainability.
We engage with businesses via 2 approaches:
Sectoral Collaboration
PACT targets unnecessary plastics which are easiest to remove from a business model
Individual Company Commitments
Get individual companies (also known as PACT Champions) to commit to time-bound targets and goals
Our impact in 2021
Since 2019, WWF-Singapore has brought together 35 companies from the food & beverage, retail, food delivery service and other sectors to reduce the use of single-use packaging and especially plastics. Collectively, PACT companies avoid over 85 million pieces of single-use plastics annually!

WWF-Singapore X Lendlease: Tackling the Waste Problem in Retail Sector
In 2018, large shopping malls contributed 7% of the country’s total waste disposed.
Recognising that more can be done to address the high waste levels in the retail sector, Lendlease has pledged to reduce plastic waste from tenants on their properties through innovative solutions, and to provide valuable insights to spur adoption of waste management innovations in the retail sector.
Results
- Collaborated with PACT to produce the Circularity in Retail: Tackling the Waste Problem Report, a guide for the retail sector to improve efforts towards waste reduction and a circular economy strategy
- Potentially implementing waste reduction pilots in Lendlease’s operations and inspiring others to take action, based on the above-mentioned study

Delivering on circularity: Feasibility study for reusable packaging in Singapore
The pandemic has massively accelerated the growth of e-commerce, and we now have over 200,000 e-commerce parcels delivered daily in Singapore. This also leads to lots of packaging waste.
A possible solution is using reusable packaging, which can be collected from customers and used repeatedly to prevent landfill waste.
Supported by UNIQLO Singapore, WWF-Singapore’s Plastic ACTion (PACT) conducted a feasibility study to understand and identify the barriers of using reusable packaging in e-commerce, focusing on business-to-consumer packaging.
Pilot Programme
Building on the results of the e-commerce feasibility study, WWF-Singapore aims to tackle the e-commerce packaging waste problem by partnering with retailers and logistics partners.
Under this pilot programme, customers can opt-in to receive their orders in reusable packaging, and return the empty packaging by dropping it off at their nearest SingPost postal box.
We launched the pilot programme on 5 April 2022, starting by partnering with the following companies: Atlantic Sports, Cloversoft, Davines, Good Dog People & Curious Cat People, Herbal Pharm, Outfyt, Retykle, Thryft, Unpackt and our very own WWF merchandise.
Do keep a lookout for these companies and remember to opt-in for the reusable packaging and try out the convenience for yourself!

“90% of the world’s fishing grounds are already fished to their limits or overfished to feed an ever-growing population.”
To stop our seafood from disappearing forever, responsible production and consumption of seafood is the only way to reverse this decline and prevent the predicted collapse of fish stocks within our lifetime.
What we do
The Responsible Seafood Action (REACT) project aims at tackling the issue by both increasing supply and encouraging market demand for responsible seafood through extensive business and public outreach. WWF-Singapore works with local aquaculture farms to improve farming practices, and businesses to improve responsible seafood sourcing.
Our work in action
Aquaculture Improvement Projects (AIPs)
Partnering aquaculture farms to achieve the Aquaculture Stewardship Council (ASC) standard for responsible seafood production
Responsible Seafood Business Platform
Business outreach and engagement for individual companies to implement ambitious but feasible responsible seafood commitments
Capacity building in the local aquaculture sector
Support local farms in upskilling to build capacity for responsible production of seafood
Business events, workshops and working groups
WWF-Singapore led industry collaborations that empower businesses to achieve the common vision of a responsible seafood future in Singapore
Case study
WWF-Singapore Aquaculture Improvement Projects (AIPs):
Contributing to Singapore’s responsible seafood supply
To increase responsible seafood production in Singapore
To support local aquaculture farms in achieving ASC certification (a first in Singapore!)
Forming partnerships with local aquaculture farms is an important step forward for WWF-Singapore to increase the domestic supply of responsible seafood. To date, we are currently collaborating with Barramundi Group and Singapore Aquaculture Technologies to improve production practices.
In these AIPs, WWF-Singapore provides advice and guidance for the implementation of an aquaculture improvement work plan, and works out milestones to achieve the Aquaculture Stewardship Council (ASC) certification—the highest sustainable standards of farming!

Extreme weather events are expected to rise in frequency and intensity, and this means the next generation will be hardest hit. Educating them on solutions that mitigate and adapt to climate change can empower them to be ready, and lead the change in transforming our home for a better, more resilient future.
“If there was one formula for our success, it was that we were constantly studying how to make things work, or how to make them work better.”
— Lee Kuan Yew
What we do
Under the Climate Action Schools programme, we work with educators to equip students with the knowledge and skills to address environmental threats and calculate their schools’ carbon footprint.
They will then be supported in developing an action plan to reduce the footprint, monitor and evaluate their success.
