SEFR adds five new emission-factor categories for local businesses

The expansion comes as companies prepare for new reporting requirements under the Singapore Exchange.

The Singapore Emissions Factor Registry (SEFR) has introduced five new localised emission-factor categories to support more accurate and consistent carbon accounting amongst businesses.

These categories include cleaning, security, professional services, information and communications technology (ICT), and product carbon footprint.

The expansion comes as companies prepare for new reporting requirements under the Singapore Exchange (SGX).

By 31 December 2025, SEFR will also guide relevant international emission factors in categories such as air travel, where local data is not yet available.

The new categories were developed in collaboration with agencies including the Agency for Science, Technology and Research (A*STAR) and the Infocomm Media Development Authority, with support from industry bodies such as the Environmental Management Association of Singapore, the Singapore Accountancy Commission, the Singapore Association of Landscape Industries, and the Institute of Singapore Chartered Accountants.

Separately, enhancements to the NetZeroHub.SG platform, which hosts the SEFR, were also announced.

The platform’s Resource Portal now includes a National Events Calendar, a Community Forum, and an expanded Directory of Solution Providers, aimed at helping companies connect, collaborate, and identify potential partners in their sustainability efforts.

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.
