Deloitte has partnered with Enterprise Singapore on the SME Sustainability Reporting Programme (SME SRP) to help Singapore non-listed small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) kickstart their Environmental, Social and Governance (ESG) disclosure journey by preparing their first sustainability reports.
With expert guidance from Deloitte, this programme equips you with the resources and tools needed to produce high-quality, impactful sustainability reports that meet regulatory standards. You will receive support in identifying material areas, collecting data based on the identified material areas, and report drafting in line with the Global Reporting Initiative (GRI) reporting frameworks. Furthermore, you will receive exclusive post-event updates to stay ahead of evolving regulatory requirements. We will support you in embedding sustainability into your core operations, fostering long-term growth and resilience in an increasingly sustainability-driven marketplace.
