FairPrice ranks lowest in Asian methane and climate disclosure report

Mighty Earth flags FairPrice for its lack of action on methane, a gas 80 times more potent than CO2.

FairPrice, Singapore’s largest supermarket chain, scored zero out of 100 in a new Mighty Earth report assessing methane disclosure and reduction amongst Asia’s top food retailers.

The report, Losing Face: Asian Retailers’ Methane Failure, evaluated eight major retailers, including Singapore’s FairPrice, on whether they publicly track or act to reduce methane, a greenhouse gas over 80 times more potent than carbon dioxide over 20 years. FairPrice had no separate reporting or targets for methane.

Across Asia, none of the retailers reviewed had publicly available deforestation- or conversion-free policies, despite the contribution of meat and dairy production to emissions. Only AEON and DFI acknowledged methane from livestock or rice cultivation, and only DFI provided financial support for reducing rice-related emissions.

Mighty Earth noted that Asia produces roughly 90% of the world’s rice and is a growing source of beef, yet most major food retailers fail to address methane in their supply chains.

If you've been wondering whether SBR could work for your company — yes, probably.

A lot of the companies we partner with started as readers. They'd been following our coverage for a while, saw their own customers and competitors in it, and eventually asked the obvious question: could we do something with you? The answer is usually yes. The shape of it depends on what you're trying to do.

The options are broader than most people assume — thought leadership articles, sponsored content, industry summits across Southeast Asia, regional awards programmes, podcasts, and media placements in print and digital. Some partners use one channel; most use a mix. We figure out the right combination by starting with your brief, not with our rate card.

So if the question has been on your mind, here's the easy way to ask it.

We'll tell you honestly whether we can help, and how. It's a better use of everyone's time.
