Helping Singapore companies fulfil their sustainability roadmap through standards adoption
Many local companies are unaware of what sustainability means and the importance it holds for their business. The world is fast-changing with climate change, global pandemic and economic crisis affecting businesses around the world. It is now more critical than ever for businesses to play a part in building a more sustainable and prosperous future.
However, we understand that it is often a challenge to work effectively with limited resources on sustainability efforts without compromising on daily operations. That is why we are here to help.
Today, there is a clear business case for companies to pursue sustainable development in driving growth, mitigating risks, and attracting capital.
As part of the Enterprise Sustainability Programme (ESP), the Sustainability-as-a-Service programme by TÜV SÜD PSB will support local companies in meeting customer and regulatory requirements through an online self-assessment, training, and certification approach. It will help raise awareness of new concepts and drive standards to fulfil their sustainability roadmap.
Eligible companies can be granted funding of qualified costs for the SaaS Programme.
