Investors and consumers are increasingly alert to the growing climate and social issues, both locally and internationally, and have shown increased favour towards companies with transparent, environmentally and socially responsible business practices. Against this backdrop, the regulatory environment has evolved; the Singapore Exchange (“SGX”) has mandated annual climate reporting for listed issuers from FY2022. Companies with a proactive Environmental, Social, and Governance ("ESG") strategy are best-placed to navigate this increasingly complex business and regulatory environment, but efforts are often complicated by various competing ESG frameworks and standards.


How can a successful ESG strategy benefit you?

A growing number of companies actively integrate ESG strategies in their business implementation, not only to comply with regulations, but also to achieve higher and sustainable long-term growth. In other words, having strong ESG credentials help companies realise actual benefits. These include:
