HOW IT WORKS
Under the new Green 100 initiative, participating large enterprises will encourage at least 100 SME suppliers, partners and customers to start their sustainability journey by completing basic sustainability reporting for free and in accordance with the newly announced Technical Reference (TR) 149:2026 framework.
The framework, launched by Enterprise Singapore through the Singapore Standards Council also on Thursday, is a technical reference that guides organisations in the progress towards environmental sustainability.
The programme aims to help large businesses work more closely with SMEs along their value chain on sustainability efforts.
It will also support SMEs in becoming more environmentally competitive and resilient, while speeding up the adoption of the TR framework across the wider business ecosystem, NCCS and SBF stated in a joint press release.
To drive Green 100, C3T will partner with Gprnt – a digital platform by the Monetary Authority of Singapore – and the Singapore Environment Council to provide SMEs with a simplified pathway.
SMEs can sign up on the Green 100 website, or respond to email invitations from the participating large enterprises. They will then be directed to Gprnt to complete a simplified disclosure for free, with the process expecting to take around 10 minutes for most SMEs.
