76% of Singapore firms disclose nature-related issues: study

But, only 14% have aligned with the Taskforce on Nature-related Financial Disclosures framework.

Amongst Singaporean companies assessed, 76% disclosed nature-related issues in their sustainability reports, but only 14% aligned with the Taskforce on Nature-related Financial Disclosures (TNFD) framework.

Based on a study by the National University of Singapore (NUS) and Kering, the relatively low adoption of TNFD highlights an opportunity for further alignment with global sustainability standards.

Although 66% of Singaporean companies identified dependencies and impacts on nature, only 39% integrated these issues into their overall risk management frameworks.

They also noted Singaporean companies are addressing nature-related risks and opportunities. Common risks include physical impacts such as extreme weather conditions, whilst opportunities focus on ecosystem protection and resource efficiency.

However, setting actionable metrics remains challenging, as only 30% of companies disclosed specific goals and targets related to nature.

In terms of leadership and governance, 50% of Singaporean companies reported board involvement in nature-related issues, with management actively overseeing these dependencies.

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.
