The engineering powerhouse also believes in the sustainability of development efforts. It recycles based on ISO 14001 guidelines, uses solar as its renewable resource, and regularly reduces energy consumption in its efforts to reduce, recycle and reuse. The company has also built ten high efficiency power plants and helped reduce more than 16000 tons of CO2 annually for its clients through waste energy recycling. Since 2018, it has promoted waste to energy systems that take in waste in any form, processes it and recycles it in the form of useful energy. As Cyclect charts its course for the next five years, it notes that the world is becoming a more complex environment with trade wars, nationalism and protectionism. While ASEAN is presently a net beneficiary as investments flow in, Cyclect acknowledges that some of its global clients will be unfairly disadvantaged, leading to a reduction in investments in this region, as evidenced by the shrinking manufacturing output in Singapore in May 2019. Its strategy for this is to remain observant, and to be present in more industries locally and regionally to ensure sufficient pipelines for future business.
