Chart of the Day: Top considerations in investing in green buildings

The top driver is sustainability and ESG.

In the next one or two years, a study from Schneider Electric and the Singapore Green Building Council showed that businesses (41%) said they are investing in green buildings mainly due to sustainability concerns.

The next driver for green building usage is energy efficiency (40%), followed by “energy efficiency” (40%) and cost reduction (12%).

“SGBC members generally concurred with these findings – with some highlighting that ‘sustainability and ESG considerations’ emerging as a top driver shows how organisations can be value-driven, which bodes well for Singapore’s journey of realising its net zero ambitions,” read the study.

Reaching the people who run Asia's businesses is harder than it used to be.

Inboxes are crowded. Attention is short. The executives you most want to reach — the founders, CFOs, and operators who actually move budgets — are the hardest to find through the usual channels. If you're building a company, a category, or a reputation, you already know this.

We've spent twenty years building the room they read. Singapore Business Review is where senior decision makers in Singapore and across Southeast Asia come for business coverage they can't get elsewhere — in print, online, and in person at the summits and roundtables we host across seven markets.

If you have something these readers should know about — a point of view worth publishing, a product worth their attention, an event worth their time — we'd like to hear what you're trying to do.
