Majority of Singaporeans seek “ethical” brands, says survey

Companies are urged to reflect on their practices.

Just having good quality services won’t cut it anymore for Singapore consumers, 70% of citizens claimed it was important to seek out ethical products and services.

According to a report from HSBC, Singaporeans seek more ethical services than their peers from most advanced economies.

“Comparatively, the global average amongst consumers from advanced economies who sought ethical brands was 58%,” the report noted.

The report added that the data seems to be de-bunking stereotypes of Singaporeans being brand-conscious consumers or that at least that support of ethical practices is starting to strike a chord.

A NOTE FROM SINGAPORE BUSINESS REVIEW

The people you want to reach are already in this room.

Every quarter, SBR lands on the desks of the founders, CFOs, and directors running Asia's most consequential companies. Every day, they open our newsletter and read our website. It's a room that took twenty years to build — and it's the one most of our partners are trying to get into.

The good news is that the door is open. We work with companies on thought leadership articles, sponsored content, industry summits across Southeast Asia, regional awards programmes, podcasts, and media placements in print and digital. The shape of the right partnership depends on what you're trying to do, which is why we'd rather start with a conversation than send a rate card.


If you have something this room should know about, tell us. We'll tell you honestly whether we can help, and how.

No rate cards until we understand the brief. It's a better use of everyone's time.
