Gov’t establishes new sustainable finance body

The association will improve standards, solutions, and skills in the finance sector.

The government introduced the Singapore Sustainable Finance Association (SSFA), a new organisation aimed at developing new standards, solutions, and skills to bolster sustainable finance.

To improve standards, SSFA can lead in developing industry practices in carbon credits trading and transition finance.

For solutions, SSFA can bring together financial institutions and industry sectors to identify approaches addressing barriers in scaling the financing needed. SSFA can combine financing solutions from different asset classes to improve the bankability of projects.

In addition, SSFA can contribute to upskilling and capacity building initiatives through sustainable finance training courses including carbon markets, taxonomy application and blended finance.

Singapore is amongst the leading sustainable finance centres facilitating net zero transition across Asia and beyond. In 2022, Singapore recorded over $30b worth of sustainability and sustainability-linked bonds and loans.

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.
