Six in 10 Singaporeans want more eco-friendly firms

But only 46% of business owners think their supply chain shouldn't harm the environment.

Analytics firm YouGov revealed that 56% of Singaporeans believe businesses have a responsibility to ensure their supply chain does not harm the environment.

According to its research, however, this falls to just 46% amongst business owners and those who work in senior management, suggesting "a gulf of opinion between those at the helm of Singaporean brands and the wider public."

In general, 88% of Singaporeans think businesses have a responsibility to do social good, implying that corporate social responsibility (CSR) remains important in brands.

Singaporeans are more likely to believe that businesses have a responsibility to ensure their supply chain doesn’t harm the environment than most.

Across the Asia Pacific, (APAC) half of all consumers (50%) believe businesses bear such a responsibility.

A majority or 53% of Singaporean consumers also believe businesses have a responsibility to ensure that their supply chain is free from damaging practices, such as forced labour, whilst 47% feel that businesses have a responsibility to give to charity and 45% want to assist in upskilling members of the community.

The study also finds that if consumers were aware that a business was giving even a small portion of its annual profits to charity of up to 5%, 67% would have a more positive opinion of the business.

Overall, 56% of Singaporeans surveyed believe business should be doing more to help charities as a whole.

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.
