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, sustainability and 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.
Do not wait for compliance. Prepare before reporting becomes mandatory.
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 brand 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.
Sustainability reporting builds credibility. The report is only the beginning.
Beyond compliance
Done well, sustainability reporting creates business value beyond compliance. It can:
- Build trust with stakeholders
- Strengthen brand equity
- Support investment and partnerships
- Demonstrate your commitment to a better future
