SG investors outpace Asia on climate action, lag in governance, climate solutions

They are ahead in recognising climate risks and opportunities (89%).

Singapore-based investors are significantly ahead of their regional peers in recognising climate risks and opportunities (89%).

They are also ahead in conducting advanced climate scenario analysis (72%) and implementing policies on fossil fuels or high-emitting sectors (61%).

However, local investors are still tracking at average levels for aligning investments towards climate change, such as climate solutions investments (34%) and asset-level targets that show the alignment of different asset classes to global climate goals (28%).

They also lag on some climate metrics, including areas of governance, policy advocacy, and climate-related disclosures. This includes linking board remuneration to climate performance (28%), publication of investor climate transition plans (28%), and biodiversity or nature disclosures (17%).

Additionally, they lag in disclosure of physical risks and adaptation actions (30%) and advocacy for climate policy (22%).

A NOTE FROM SINGAPORE BUSINESS REVIEW

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.
