Singapore’s Consumer Association launch accreditation scheme for online businesses

This comes as they received increasing complaints from Singaporean consumers.

The Consumers Association of Singapore (CASE) said it launched the CaseTrust Accreditation Scheme for E-businesses that allows shoppers to identify online businesses which adopt consumer-friendly practices.

The scheme, called e-CaseTrust scheme, also enables online retailers and service providers to be ahead of their competitors by adopting pro-consumer policies when handling complaints, refunds or disputes.

This scheme will address the pain points of consumers when they shop online.

“Consumers can also have the assurance that these e-businesses are committed to being honest and transparent in how they communicate prices, delivery/shipping charges and other additional charges,” said CASE.

The e-CaseTrust scheme was rolled out by Ms Low Yen Ling, Minister of State, Ministry of Trade and Industry and Ministry of Culture, Community and Youth, Mr Melvin Yong, President, CASE, Mr Jayems Dhingra, Chairman, CaseTrust Advisory Council, and Mr Russell Chan, Principal & Chief Executive Officer, Nanyang Polytechnic at an industry event held at ZALORA’s South East Asia (“Zalora”) corporate office this morning.

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.
