Keppel, DBS join hands to scale up sustainable solutions in Asia

The partners will focus on India.

Keppel Corporation and DBS bank have inked a memorandum of understanding (MoU) to jointly scale up sustainable urbanisation and digitalisation solutions in Asia.

In a bourse filing, Keppel said its collaboration with DBS “aims to accelerate the adoption of energy optimisation and sustainable solutions across energy-intensive segments including healthcare, hospitality, as well as commercial and industrial real estate.”

The collaboration will focus on India, one of DBS’ six core markets and one of the bank’s top three markets for sustainable finance.

“The country’s rapid rate of urbanisation is expected to have a key impact on its energy usage and global energy trends,” said the companies in a joint statement.

Under the MoU, businesses can access Keppel’s suite of Energy-as-a-Service solutions including high-efficiency cooling, sustainable energy and storage, distributed solar photovoltaic systems, and electric vehicle charging infrastructure.

“Through Keppel’s subsidiary, M1, the collaboration will explore ways to enhance and support the digitalisation journey of businesses in Singapore. The partnership also includes an e-waste recycling initiative through AsiaPac, a subsidiary of M1, where DBS customers can trade in laptops,” the companies stated.

DBS, on the other hand, will offer financing solutions to help clients overcome potential cost barriers associated with the implementation of such technologies.

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.
