🌏Earth Hour 2025 – Sustainable Urban Farming
On March 23, 2025, millions worldwide took part in Earth Hour by switching off lights to raise awareness about climate change. At V-Plus Agritech, we support sustainable urban farming to conserve both energy and water.
-
Hydroponic and aquaponic systems use up to 90% less water than traditional farming.
-
Solar-powered farming reduces carbon footprints.
-
Our farming methods use no chemical pesticides, ensuring safer food production and a healthier environment
Let’s be reminded that we can do more than observing Earth Hour and actively participate in #ClimateAction.
The Impact of V-Plus Agritech’s Carbon Disclosure Project (CDP) Rating of "B"
Receiving a B rating in the Carbon Disclosure Project (CDP) is a significant achievement for V-Plus Agritech, as it places us among companies that are actively managing their environmental impact. More than 22,000 companies worldwide disclosed environmental data through the Carbon Disclosure Project (CDP) in 2024. Here’s what this means for our business, our partners, and the larger sustainability movement:
🌿 What a "B" CDP Rating Means
CDP is a global non-profit that runs the world’s only independent environmental disclosure system for companies, capital markets, cities, states and regions to manage their environmental impacts. CDP ratings assess a company’s environmental performance based on climate-related risks, emissions reporting, and sustainability actions. A B rating means:
✅ We Are Taking Action – We have measured our carbon footprint and taken steps to reduce emissions across our operations.
✅ Transparency & Accountability – We are committed to clear and verifiable sustainability reporting, ensuring partners and stakeholders can trust our ESG (Environmental, Social, and Governance) commitments.
✅ Better Sustainability Positioning – Many global corporations and investors prioritize businesses with strong CDP scores, making us a more attractive supplier and partner for sustainable projects.
🌏 How This Supports Our Sustainability Goals
🔹 Carbon Reduction in Urban Farming – We actively integrate low-energy, water-efficient farming solutions such as hydroponics and aquaponics to minimize resource consumption.
🔹 Supply Chain Resilience – As part of the City Developments LImited (CDL) Queen Bee Programme, we align with enterprise-level sustainability frameworks, making us a preferred supplier for eco-conscious businesses.
🔹 Competitive Edge in Tenders & Grants – Government agencies and large corporations favor SMEs with strong sustainability credentials. Our B rating strengthens our position when applying for projects and grants such as the SG Eco Fund.
📈 Moving Forward: Our Next Steps
While a B rating reflects solid climate action, we are pushing for an even stronger rating by:
🌱 Investing in Greener Technologies – Expanding our solar-powered farming solutions to further cut energy use.
📊 Enhancing Carbon Tracking – Adopting more advanced data-driven emission monitoring systems.
🌍 Strengthening ESG Policies – Working towards SBTi (Science-Based Targets initiative) alignment for long-term carbon reduction goals.
