'Green 100' initiative brings SMEs into sustainability reporting

Reporting will be done for free using the new TR 149:2026 framework.

Council for a Competitive Climate Transition (C3T) has launched the Green 100 initiative to help small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) begin sustainability reporting and capability development.

Under the programme, participating large enterprises, referred to as “Queen Bees”, will each invite at least 100 SMEs within their supply chains and business networks to begin sustainability reporting.

The smaller firms will undertake basic disclosures aligned with the TR 149:2026 framework at no cost.

The new framework was launched by Enterprise Singapore through the Singapore Standards Council and allows companies to assess and track their sustainability maturity across four levels.

SMEs can register through the Green100.sg website or through invitations sent by participating companies.

They will then be directed to Gprnt’s digital platform to complete a simplified sustainability disclosure aligned with the ‘Essential level’ of the TR 149:2026 framework.

Firms that complete the disclosure will receive a digital badge on the platform, whilst SMEs requiring additional support may access training and advisory services through the Singapore Business Federation (SBF).

Meanwhile, the initiative’s future phases will build on the ‘Essential’ level and support companies in progressing towards the higher levels, namely ‘Bronze’, ‘Silver’, and ‘Gold’.

The C3T, co-chaired by the National Climate Change Secretariat and SBF, will continue working with ecosystem partners to support wider industry participation in the initiative.

Green 100 is supported by Gprnt and the Singapore Environment Council.

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.
