Through supporting our clients, we get to contribute to all 17 Global Goals. Because as our clients grow, they can make a bigger impact towards “their” SDGs.
The following 4 goals take priority for us:
By working with different communities, we help to cut down the amount of urban waste, namely in packaging and food waste.
Our engagements and consultancy work with different organisations help to promote sustainable practices and reduce waste generation in their processes.
Our workshops and community initiatives leveraging waste as a resource help to raise awareness and build capacity for communities and companies to address climate change.
Our educational cleanups help to reduce marine pollution in Singapore’s marine ecosystems, and encourage people to take steps to prevent further damage to our waters.
Green Nudge first started out as a project idea when founder Li Seng wanted to make mass events more sustainable.
Realising that a business model that balances profit and impact would be in a better position to shape long term sustainable behaviour, Li Seng formally set up Green Nudge as a company in mid-2018.
By building up a network of partners, Green Nudge is now one of the leading green social enterprises in Singapore.
Since then, Green Nudge has expanded its offerings to include cleanups, workshops, learning journeys, training and consultancy services; and grown from a one man outfit to a team of 6 full time, supported by an amazing team of volunteers and interns.

“We believe that we need more people to waste less in a systemic manner. As a green business, Green Nudge can value-add to the ecosystem more effectively. ”
– Li Seng
For the longest time, messages relating to sustainability or the environment have largely been top-down or instructional. It is often assumed that if people are told what to do, they will naturally change their behaviour.
However, nudging appeals to people's emotions and conscience to do the right thing, and is a subtle and lasting way in which we choose to persuade people to change their behaviour.
Convincing others to change their behaviour can be scary and intimidating, especially if you are embarking on this journey alone.
Which is why we believe that lasting impact can only be achieved through collective and organic effort. Since we started, we have built up an extensive network of like-minded individuals and organisations who share the same interests and goals, all ready to support you along the way.
Li Seng’s previous experience in the public sector reinforced his belief that effective public policies need to be supported by ground-up actions and engagement. As the founder and director of Green Nudge, Li Seng oversees the management and operations of the company.
Playing an interfacing role within the tri-sector, Li Seng is able to provide sectoral knowledge through a system thinking lens to help others make informed decisions and strategies.

Debra’s love affair with the natural world first started when working for the BBC in London. Its close proximity to the esteemed Natural History Unit was what sparked an interest in all things Nature and the Outdoors.

Having recently graduated with a degree in Geography, Hansel took on a different path by first choosing to experience work in a local fish farm before joining Green Nudge.
His experience in sustainability is growing, from appreciating its impacts and complexities, to navigating how it is comprehended and executed by different stakeholders in the real world. As someone journeying in his initial stages of the sustainability work, Hansel hopes to be able to share about his ongoing journey, as well as his observations and thoughts surrounding the topic.
Natalie’s enjoys travelling to experience the wonders of unspoiled nature. Unfortunately on one occasion, she encountered a horrifying account of human pollution on an otherwise pristine beach: a dead sea turtle, strangled by a plastic cord wrapped around its neck. This prompted her to pursue and advocate for a low-waste lifestyle wherever she goes.
With the ability to work remotely while traveling, she is thrilled to volunteer and support passionate individuals who are keen in creating a positive impact together.

Hwee Chieh's love for nature began at a young age as it closely intertwined with fond childhood memories. A tree hugger, artist and illustrator, she embarks on adventures in her imagination while exploring different mediums. Her work primarily focuses on nature as the key subject matter.

Upon graduating in Advertising Design, Fatin took a dressmaking course to pursue her interest in sewing. She briefly juggled between graphic design and fashion before deciding to walk the path towards sustainability more intently.
