ESG Sustainability Reporting: Is Your Business Ready?

esg sustainability reporting: is your business ready?

When will your organisation be ready?

Sustainability is no longer a nice-to-have. It is increasingly an expectation from investors, regulators, customers, and employees alike.

In Singapore, climate reporting requirements are already being introduced in phases. SGX-listed companies are required to report Scope 1 and 2 greenhouse gas emissions from FY2025, while other ISSB-based climate-related disclosure requirements are being phased in according to company category. Qualifying large non-listed companies will come under mandatory ISSB-based climate-related disclosure requirements from FY2030.

The direction is clear: greater sustainability transparency is becoming part of doing business.

The question for many organisations is no longer if they should prepare.

It is when.

Start preparing today

1. Don’t wait for mandates

Smart organisations do not scramble at the last minute. Start gathering data on your environmental and social impact today. This is not just about compliance — it is about identifying risks, improving efficiency, and uncovering new opportunities.

2. Make ESG a leadership conversation

If your leadership team is not discussing sustainability, it is time to start. ESG can influence investor confidence, customer trust, and talent retention. Decide which issues matter most to your business and make them part of your business strategy, not an afterthought.

3. Involve finance early

Sustainability reporting is not a side project. Your finance team plays a key role in turning sustainability goals into credible, measurable outcomes that investors, regulators, and customers can trust.
