Background of the Partnership Agreement
In Asia, more companies are in need of monitoring their climate-related risks and opportunities and improving their ESG and decarbonization effort.
Also, the Singapore government intends to require all listed companies to disclose climate change-related information in line with International Sustainability Standards Board (ISSB) standards from fiscal year 2025 (January to December 2025).
In addition, it is considered that non-listed companies with revenue of 1 billion Singapore dollars or more will also be mandated to disclose climate change-related information based on the ISSB standards starting in fiscal year 2027. In other words, Singapore is likely to require information disclosure even from small and medium-sized enterprises. This has increased the need for systems, tools, and programs to address decarbonization and ESG management among small and medium-sized unlisted companies that have not previously made their CO2 emissions visible.
