SG investors outpace Asia on climate action, lag in governance, climate solutions

They are ahead in recognising climate risks and opportunities (89%).

Singapore-based investors are significantly ahead of their regional peers in recognising climate risks and opportunities (89%).

They are also ahead in conducting advanced climate scenario analysis (72%) and implementing policies on fossil fuels or high-emitting sectors (61%).

However, local investors are still tracking at average levels for aligning investments towards climate change, such as climate solutions investments (34%) and asset-level targets that show the alignment of different asset classes to global climate goals (28%).

They also lag on some climate metrics, including areas of governance, policy advocacy, and climate-related disclosures. This includes linking board remuneration to climate performance (28%), publication of investor climate transition plans (28%), and biodiversity or nature disclosures (17%).

Additionally, they lag in disclosure of physical risks and adaptation actions (30%) and advocacy for climate policy (22%).

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.
