🌍 Executive Summary — Singapore Business Carbon Report 2025
Singapore’s 2025 Business Carbon Report underscores a decisive shift: climate reporting is no longer optional, it is core to competitiveness.
đź“Š Key Highlights
Carbon as cost discipline: With Singapore’s carbon tax rising to S$45/tonne in 2026 (headed to S$50–80 by 2030), emissions are now a measurable financial liability.
Reporting momentum: Over 444 CERT submissions and nearly 2,000 professionals trained under the LowCarbonSG programme reflect growing adoption of carbon tracking.
Emissions profile: Participating companies reported 3.01 MtCO2e (Scope 1+2), with large enterprises driving 59% of emissions despite SMEs forming 80% of submissions.
Sector concentration: Manufacturing, Transportation & Storage, and Wholesale/Retail account for 92% of reported emissions, highlighting priority areas for reduction.
Capability gaps: Data quality, systems, and skilled personnel remain the biggest hurdles, especially for SMEs.
🚀 Strategic Imperatives
Compliance as resilience: Aligning with ISSB standards and the revised SGX/ACRA roadmap ensures credibility and investor confidence.
Scope 3 readiness: With disclosure expectations tightening, businesses must build systems for supply‑chain emissions.
Sector‑sensitive benchmarking: Intensity‑based measures (per revenue, employee, or floor area) provide fairer comparisons than aggregate totals.
Recognition system: From 2026, LowCarbonSG’s 3‑Tier Recognition (Participant, Practitioner, Leader) will spotlight companies achieving year‑on‑year reductions.
🌱 The Big Picture
Singapore’s trajectory is clear: net zero by 2050, with interim targets of 45–50 MtCO2e by 2035. For businesses, climate reporting is not just compliance — it is a strategic lever for efficiency, resilience, and market access.
