Small firms lag in sustainability governance despite reporting improvements

Only 67% of smaller firms have a designated sustainability board member or committee.

Smaller companies nearly match larger ones in sustainability reporting processes, according to the Singapore Governance and Transparency Index 2024.

The SGTI classifies smaller companies as having a market capitalisation of up to $1b, whilst larger companies exceed this amount.
