Bain & Company, SBF launch decarbonisation programme for SMEs

The programme helped 80% of participating SMEs establish their emissions baseline.

Bain & Company and the Singapore Business Federation (SBF) have launched a programme to help small- and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) accelerate decarbonisation.

The SME Sectoral Net Zero Transition Programme offers SMEs sector-specific workshops, access to ecosystem partners, advisory support, as well as an AI-powered DecarboniSME tool.

The programme, which was piloted from July to August, involved 21 food manufacturers that produced a range of products from beverages to noodles. It was also supported by Enterprise Singapore and the Singapore Food Manufacturers’ Association (SFMA).

The programme helped 80% of participating SMEs establish their emissions baseline for the first time and encouraged SMEs to target a 50% reduction in Scope 1 and 2 emissions by 2030.

In addition, the identified decarbonisation levers could potentially reduce Scope 1 and 2 emissions by 50% to 70%, increase EBITDA margins by 4% to 5%, and lower energy costs per unit by 40% to 50%.

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.
