CDL Celebrates 20th Anniversary of Pioneering 5-Star EHS Awards
City Developments Limited (CDL) hosted its annual 5-Star Environmental, Health, and Safety (EHS) Awards and Sports Challenge on Sunday, 17 November 2024 at SUTD Sports and Recreation Centre. The event also marked the 20th anniversary of the CDL 5-Star EHS Awards, its signature initiative to drive EHS excellence. Gathering more than 300 industry leaders, including representatives from the Building and Construction Authority (BCA) and Workplace Safety and Health (WSH) Council, migrant workers and partners, the event signals the collective commitment of all value chain stakeholders towards workplace health and safety.
Through a series of exciting games that tested teamwork and safety knowledge, participants – migrant workers from various CDL development sites – showed grit and tenacity as they vied for first place. To complement the thematic focus on workplace safety, the event also featured an exhibition on safety standards, in addition to safety-themed game stations and photo booths.
Mr Sherman Kwek, CDL’s Group Chief Executive Officer, said, “Workplace safety is a collective responsibility and a shared commitment to protect ourselves, our teams and our families. Starting with a safety-first mindset, everyone’s actions – big or small – form the building blocks of a safer culture. Whether designing safe work plans, double-checking equipment or addressing hazards, every effort counts. As we celebrate the 20th anniversary of the CDL 5-Star EHS Awards, we thank the BCA and WSH Council for their leadership in advancing WSH excellence, as well as our builders, consultants and all migrant workers for their partnership in ensuring that every CDL development is clean, green and safe. Safety is our top priority and we will continue to enhance workplace safety and productivity through innovation and digitalisation, making all CDL projects a safe place to work.”
