The SmartGreen PSA committee convened its first get-together, establishing a foundation for collaborative progress. Key agenda items included plans to discuss strategies with the new head, with JKA confirmed as the lead for the SmartGreen PSA initiative. Participants expressed a strong desire for cooperative efforts and pledged to share their experiences to enhance the PSA's effectiveness. A central goal was set to improve MPCC and UIGreen rankings in the 2025 PSA, emphasising the need for teamwork. It was stressed that document preparation required a unified, team-orientated approach across all focus areas to ensure efficient workflow and timely completion.

An initial discussion regarding the SmartGreen organisational chart was held with the TPSA and the head of the SmartGreen PSA, resulting in several key action points. The tasks of Secretary 1 and Secretary 2 will be delineated within the chart, and financial aspects, including fee-based and non-fee-based budgets, will be distinctly separated. Recognition levels at national, international, and global stages will also be clearly defined. Strategic participation in certifications/awards was planned, with MPCC@POLYCCsustAward, UI Green, GPM, and EKSA targeted for 2025 and the LCC2030 Challenge and Green Award for 2026, requiring focused effort. Finally, the extensive committee involvement within SmartGreen will necessitate final approval from the director.
