Bain & Company, SBF launch decarbonisation programme for SMEs

The programme helped 80% of participating SMEs establish their emissions baseline.

Bain & Company and the Singapore Business Federation (SBF) have launched a programme to help small- and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) accelerate decarbonisation.

The SME Sectoral Net Zero Transition Programme offers SMEs sector-specific workshops, access to ecosystem partners, advisory support, as well as an AI-powered DecarboniSME tool.

The programme, which was piloted from July to August, involved 21 food manufacturers that produced a range of products from beverages to noodles. It was also supported by Enterprise Singapore and the Singapore Food Manufacturers’ Association (SFMA).

The programme helped 80% of participating SMEs establish their emissions baseline for the first time and encouraged SMEs to target a 50% reduction in Scope 1 and 2 emissions by 2030.

In addition, the identified decarbonisation levers could potentially reduce Scope 1 and 2 emissions by 50% to 70%, increase EBITDA margins by 4% to 5%, and lower energy costs per unit by 40% to 50%.

The people you want to reach are already in this room.

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.
