DBS, Deloitte launch sustainability accelerator tool for SMEs

DBS aims to extend the tool to other markets from 2025.

DBS and Deloitte have launched the Sustainability Accelerator Tool to aid small and medium enterprises (SMEs) identify and address decarbonisation gaps over the next 12 months.

The tool enables SMEs to measure their maturity levels across four pillars – governance framework, sustainability strategy, risks & opportunities, and metrics & targets)

The pillars are aligned with the Task Force on Climate-related Financial Disclosures framework, a globally recognised reporting structure. 

An estimated 1,000 SMEs are expected to benefit from the tool. They will receive a customised sustainability readiness report, which provides an analysis of their company’s sustainability maturity with insights to address the specific challenges they may be currently facing. DBS said that it aims to offer the tool to other markets from 2025.

SMEs may also improve their sustainability levels further by participating in DBS’ ESG Ready Programme, where they can access a panel of sustainability experts, including specialists from Deloitte.

A NOTE FROM SINGAPORE BUSINESS REVIEW

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.
