Why ESG Matters More Than Ever in Singapore

Singapore is positioning itself as Asia Pacific's hub for sustainable finance and responsible business. The regulatory baseline is already in force, and organisations treating ESG as a future obligation are missing out on an opportunity for competitive positioning. 

SGX Mandatory Reporting Is Expanding

Along with the general sustainability disclosures, SGX-listed issuers must report Scope 1 and Scope 2 emissions under IFRS S2, with qualitative climate disclosures and Scope 3 phasing in by issuer size. The baseline is locked in; the scope and assurance expectations broaden over time. 

Investors Are Asking Harder Questions

ESG performance is now a standard part of investment due diligence. Organisations without credible frameworks and verifiable data are losing access to capital they would otherwise qualify for.

Greenwashing risk is real and growing

Regulators and investors are scrutinising sustainability claims more closely. Rigorous data governance and independent verification are the only credible response. 

Singapore's Green Plan Creates Opportunity

Singapore's sustainability agenda creates genuine commercial opportunities for businesses that build ESG capability early. Being ahead of the regulatory curve is a competitive advantage, not just a compliance position.

How We Implement Your ESG Engagements

Timelines vary depending on organisation size, regulatory status, and reporting maturity
Step 1

ESG Readiness Assessment

We assess your current policies, governance structures, and disclosure practices to establish a clear baseline.

Step 2

Materiality and Risk Mapping

We identify your material topics, key ESG risks, and stakeholder priorities to focus the programme on what actually matters.

Step 3

Framework Selection and Metric Design

We align your reporting to the right frameworks and define measurable ESG indicators that connect to your business strategy.

Step 4

Reporting and Disclosure Preparation

We prepare your sustainability report, coordinate data validation, and ensure disclosures meet applicable regulatory and framework requirements.

Step 5

Assurance Readiness & Ongoing Enhancement

We prepare your disclosures to withstand external assurance and establish governance and continuous-improvement processes so the programme stays current as expectations evolve.

Our ESG & Sustainability Services

A full suite of ESG services from initial assessment through to ongoing reporting and assurance.

ESG Assessment and Strategy

For organisations starting their ESG journey or reassessing their current position against evolving regulatory and stakeholder expectations.

Before committing to a reporting framework or sustainability programme, you need to know where you actually stand. We run rapid diagnostics and structured assessments that give you a clear picture of your current ESG performance and a practical roadmap for what comes next.

ESG readiness and gap assessment against applicable frameworks and regulatory requirements.

  • Materiality assessment to identify the ESG topics that matter most to your stakeholders and your business

  • Sustainability and decarbonisation strategy development aligned with long-term business goals

  • KPI design and target-setting across environmental, social, and governance dimensions

  • Capability building workshops for board, senior management, and operational teams

Carbon, Climate & Transition Planning

For organisations measuring, reporting, and reducing emissions and building credible transition plans that satisfy SGX, lenders, and investors.

Climate disclosure is now mandatory for listed issuers, and lenders and MAS-regulated financial institutions increasingly expect a credible transition plan, not just a target. Whether you are building your first emissions inventory or a board-ready transition plan, we help you get the numbers right and the strategy in place. 

  • Greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions calculation and carbon accounting
  • Scope 1, 2, and 3 emissions inventory development
  • Climate risk and opportunity assessment aligned with TCFD and IFRS S2
  • Decarbonisation roadmap and target-setting
  • Carbon reduction strategy and implementation support

ESG Reporting

For organisations producing credible, compliant sustainability reports aligned with applicable frameworks and stakeholder expectations.

A sustainability report is only as good as the data behind it and the process that produced it. We support end-to-end report preparation, from data collection and validation through to publication, across the frameworks that matter to your sector.

  • 360-degree ESG health check across current policies, data structures, and public disclosures

  • Sustainability report preparation aligned with the ISSB standards (IFRS S1 and S2), GRI, and SGX requirements — plus sector-relevant frameworks such as CDP and GRESB where applicable

  • Technology-enabled data collection and report generation

  • SGX sustainability reporting compliance support

  • IFRS S1 and S2 aligned climate and sustainability disclosure preparation

Assurance Readiness & Independent Review

For organisations that need independent verification of their sustainability disclosures to satisfy investor, regulator, and stakeholder expectations.

External assurance on Scope 1 and 2 emissions is being phased in for SGX-listed issuers later this decade, and investors increasingly expect verification ahead of any mandate. We prepare your data, controls, and disclosures to pass assurance, and, where we have not prepared the underlying report, we provide independent process audits

  • External assurance on sustainability reports against applicable frameworks

  • Process audits covering energy, waste, CSR, and other ESG-specific areas

  • Assurance readiness assessment and gap identification

  • Support for organisations preparing for mandatory assurance requirements

Sustainable Supply Chain and Supplier Engagement

For organisations managing ESG risk beyond their own operations and across their value chain.

Regulators and investors increasingly expect organisations to look beyond their own four walls. Supply chain sustainability, including Scope 3 — is becoming a core part of credible disclosure and responsible sourcing.

  • Supply chain ESG risk assessment and mapping

  • Supplier ESG due diligence and engagement programmes

  • Scope 3 hotspot analysis and data collection across suppliers

  • Supplier scorecards and improvement roadmaps

Investor & Fund ESG

For private equity, impact funds, and investors integrating ESG into deal and portfolio decisions.

ESG due diligence and portfolio reporting carry different requirements from operating-company disclosure. We support investors across the deal lifecycle.

  • ESG due diligence on investment targets
  • Materiality assessment at fund and portfolio level
  • Impact evaluation and reporting for Limited Partners and General Partners
  • Portfolio-company ESG uplift and monitoring frameworks
