74% of firms report carbon reductions under national programme

74% of companies achieved reductions in either absolute emissions or emissions intensity.

Nearly three-quarters of companies participating in a national emissions tracking programme reported reductions in their carbon output, according to the newly released Singapore Business Carbon Report 2024.

Published by the UN Global Compact Network Singapore (UNGCNS), the report showed 74% of companies achieved reductions in either absolute emissions or emissions intensity.

Notably, 41% reduced both, and amongst those that made cuts, 82% recorded at least a 5% YoY improvement.

Small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) made up more than 80% of participants.

The findings were drawn from 318 submissions by 227 companies under the LowCarbonSG programme, a national initiative launched in 2021 to support carbon measurement and management through digital tools like the Carbon & Emissions Recording Tool.

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.
