The Bayer Young Environmental Envoy (BYEE) programme is a joint programme organised by Bayer and the United Nations Environment Programme (UNEP) to foster environmental leaders and enhance youth's environemental awareness.

This year, the selected students completed a youth environmental leadership camp in June. In Novemeber, they will join delegates worldwide on a weeklong study trip in Germany where they can observe environmental practises there and connect with other youths.

Each year since 2007, the National Environment Agency, Singapore, awards EcoFriend Awards to individuals across five categories to recognise and honour those who have made outstanding personal contributions to the environment and inspired others to appreciate and care for nature.

The annual HSBC/NYAA Youth Environmental Award is jointly administered by HSBC Singapore and the NYAA Council, Singapore. The Award is presented to NYAA Award holders and participants who have shown outstanding commitment, contributions, and achievements toward environmental protection and nature conservation in Singapore. Winners of the Award each receive a citation plaque, book vouchers, and a fully sponsored overseas study trip to learn about the country’s environmental projects and activities.

The HSBC and National Youth Achievement Award (NYAA) Council has been sending youths on annual Earthwatch Institute research projects where young people assist leading scientists in projects to tackle key environmental concerns.
