Singapore is raising the carbon tax to $25 per tonne this year as part of its efforts to combat climate change, with plans of further increase to $50 to $80 by 2030, Senior Minister of State for Sustainability and the Environment Dr. Amy Khor announced on 13 March.

“As a small and alternative energy disadvantaged nation, we have to harness innovation and collaboration to transform our energy supply,” Khor said at the launch of the Centre for Sustainable Medicine.

Additionally, Singapore is forging partnerships with neighboring countries to establish cross-border green energy trade agreements, ensuring a sustainable energy supply for the region.

Every quarter, SBR lands on the desks of the founders, CFOs, and directors running Asia's most consequential companies. Every day, they open our newsletter and read our website. It's a room that took twenty years to build — and it's the one most of our partners are trying to get into.

The good news is that the door is open. We work with companies on thought leadership articles, sponsored content, industry summits across Southeast Asia, regional awards programmes, podcasts, and media placements in print and digital. The shape of the right partnership depends on what you're trying to do, which is why we'd rather start with a conversation than send a rate card.

If you have something this room should know about, tell us. We'll tell you honestly whether we can help, and how.

No rate cards until we understand the brief. It's a better use of everyone's time.
