Celebrating our Environmental Services Workforce

ES Logo

The Environmental Services (ES) Awards were first introduced at the Environmental Services Workforce Day in 2019, as a key initiative of the Environmental Services Industry Transformation Map (ES ITM) to celebrate the commitment and excellence of ES companies and employees. Supported by the Environmental Management Association of Singapore (EMAS), Waste Management & Recycling Association of Singapore (WMRAS), Singapore Pest Management Association (SPMA), and National Trades Union Congress (NTUC), the ES Awards comprise two awards – the ES Star Award and the ES Achievement Award (previously known as Certificate of Excellence).

ES Star Award and ES Achievement Award

The ES Star Award recognises the commitment, work excellence, and contributions of exemplary ES employees across the ES industry (comprising cleaning services, waste management, and pest management sectors) in three categories (frontline, supervisory, and operations support). Exemplary individuals who received the ES Star Award demonstrated exceptional service excellence, good teamwork and leadership, a proactive attitude to upskilling themselves, and outstanding contributions to innovation, productivity and environmental sustainability, in their profession.

The ES Achievement Award recognises ES employees for their contributions, commitment and exemplary work performance. Recipients include those who had demonstrated service excellence, had been promoted or recognised for long service by their employers, and possess a positive mindset and willingness to upskill.
