Additionally, Tradelink's e-commerce solutions enable companies to establish their digital presence and enhance supply chain management in the digital realm.

The Government further enhanced TPLSP in the new financial year with the funding ceiling increased to $2 million and extended coverage to include ESG technology solutions. Tradelink's e-solutions are within the scope of TPLSP, and can enable businesses to leverage the Government's funding to optimise business operations, enhance productivity and fulfil ESG requirements.

Corporate Social Responsibility

Office air-conditioning is maintained at 25°C (+/- 1°C). CO2 meters are installed to ensure our air quality meets the IAQ standard.

Environmentally-friendly air-conditioning system

With an aim to reduce our environmental footprint and promote a healthier working environment, Tradelink has implemented an air-conditioning system that incorporates fresh air units and high-efficiency particulate air filters ("HEPA filters") which successfully allow us to meet the "Good Class" standard for CO2 concentration as outlined in the Indoor Air Quality ("IAQ") guidelines recommended by the Environmental Protection Department.

The fresh air units generate sufficient positive pressure and dehumidification that significantly enhance air circulation, ventilation rates, and reduce CO2 levels. This helps mitigate the risks of airborne virus transmission. The HEPA filters effectively eliminate dust, pollen, mold and bacteria, considerably improving the overall air quality.

This air-con system improvement reflects our commitment to creating a greener, healthier and more comfortable workspace for our employees and visitors.
