Every April 22, over a billion people across the globe come together to celebrate Earth Day — a powerful reminder that we all share one home and one responsibility: to protect the planet.

In Singapore, where urban life meets lush greenery and smart city innovation, Earth Day 2025 is more than just a global trend. It's a moment for businesses, workers, and communities to reflect on how we can create a sustainable future — not just once a year, but every day.

At Reeracoen, we know that purpose-driven companies and eco-conscious employees are the future. Whether you’re leading a team or growing your career, Earth Day is your invitation to step up and be part of the solution.

What Is Earth Day?

Earth Day, first celebrated in 1970, is a worldwide movement that promotes awareness and action for environmental protection. It focuses on issues like climate change, pollution, sustainability, and biodiversity.

The theme for Earth Day 2025 is expected to revolve around climate resilience, green innovation, and sustainable development — all of which align with Singapore’s national goals under the Green Plan 2030.

While Earth Day is not a public holiday in Singapore, it’s widely observed through community events, educational campaigns, and corporate sustainability drives. Here's what you can look forward to:

City-Wide Eco Events
