CIMB SG and ESGpedia have helped 100+ SMEs set GHG reduction targets

The bank offers a fully digital experience to calculate GHGs.

CIMB Singapore and ESGpedia have enabled over a hundred companies to set greenhouse gas (GHG) reduction targets through sustainability-linked financing.

Under its SME Sustainability-Linked Loan/Financing Programme (SME SLL/SLF Programme) launched in August 2024, CIMB Singapore offers a self-directed and fully digital experience for GHG calculation via the ESGpedia platform for small businesses.

“It automates much of the data and reporting process, so SMEs can focus on improving their business performance while confidently tracking their environmental progress, to achieve long-term efficiency, customer trust, and even cost savings,” said Adam Lim, head of commercial banking product and strategy, CIMB Singapore.

SMEs are also provided tiered key performance indicators (KPIs) with tiered interest rate discounts, with greater rebates beginning the second year.

A NOTE FROM SINGAPORE BUSINESS REVIEW

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.
