What are major barriers to businesses’ decarbonisation success?

Only 14% of companies in Singapore believe that their programmes are meeting their goals.

Whilst many companies in Singapore have embarked on their sustainability journey, only a few (14%) are succeeding in meeting their decarbonisation goals. Data from ENGIE Impact's report showed that businesses still face challenges and roadblocks in their decarbonisation plans.

More than eight in 10 (85%) companies are struggling to meet front-loaded capex requirements. whilst 79% cited the lack of government incentives to fund their projects as a barrier to decarbonise.

Meanwhile, 79% of the companies identified the lack of a cross-functional approach to decarbonisation goals, the lack of incentive or ownership at an executive level to drive decarbonisation action, and the challenge of working with the supply chain to deliver Scope 3 carbon reductions as roadblocks to achieving their decarbonisation goals.

The same number of companies said they are struggling to navigate statutory requirements.

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.
