DBS China, CSSGD, CIX partner to pilot carbon credit trading

The parties plan to co-develop a pilot programme for companies in the park seeking access to global carbon markets.

DBS China, China-Singapore Suzhou Industrial Park Green Development Company (CSSGD), and Climate Impact X (CIX) have signed a memorandum of understanding to advance carbon credit trading in China, beginning in Suzhou Industrial Park and with potential expansion nationwide and beyond.

The partnership will assess market demand for international carbon credits, Renewable Energy Certificates (RECs) and related services within the park, which is the first government-to-government project between Singapore and China.

CSSGD will lead local engagement and market research, CIX will provide technical expertise, and DBS will serve as green finance advisor.

Based on the findings, the parties plan to co-develop a pilot programme for companies in the park seeking access to global carbon markets. The initiative aims to support China’s low-carbon transition whilst aligning domestic efforts with international carbon market mechanisms.

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.
