What Local Stakeholders Expect for Climate Disclosures in Singapore

As climate reporting regulations advance in Singapore, driven by the SGX Listing Rules and aligned with the ISSB S2 standard, companies are preparing to comply. But focusing only on regulators misses the bigger picture. Climate disclosures are no longer just a compliance exercise; they’re a powerful tool to build trust and meet the growing demands of your stakeholders.

In Singapore’s evolving ESG and sustainability landscape, four groups in particular are raising the bar.

1. Investors Expect Data That’s Reliable, Comparable, and Decision-Useful

Singapore is positioning itself as a global hub for sustainable finance. Investors – especially institutional ones – are looking for climate disclosures that go beyond token commitments. They expect:

• Quantitative data: Scope 1 and 2 emissions at minimum, and a credible pathway to reduce them.
• Risk alignment: Evidence that climate-related risks are assessed and priced into business planning.
• Global alignment: Disclosures that follow frameworks like ISSB S2 or TCFD, enabling comparison across markets.

How Speeki helps: Our platform enables structured emissions reporting aligned with ISSB S1 and S2, and provides audit-ready export formats (like PDF and XBRL) to support investor transparency. Our roadmap planning features help your disclosures reflect climate strategy, not just carbon counts.

2. Customers Prioritise Low-Carbon, Ethical Supply Chains

Across sectors, from manufacturing to logistics and even tech, corporate buyers and consumers are demanding more climate-conscious supply chains. This includes:

• Visibility into Scope 3 emissions across key categories (e.g., purchased goods, transport)
• Evidence of supplier engagement and climate expectations communicated across the value chain
• Demonstration of continuous improvement, not just a snapshot report

How Speeki helps: With integrated stakeholder engagement tools, businesses can send supplier surveys, collect emissions data, and track disclosures across key vendor relationships. This allows you to turn vague supplier risks into measurable action.

3. Employees Expect Purpose, Integrity, and Transparency

Today’s workforce, especially younger professionals, want to work for companies that take climate seriously. For Singaporean employers, strong climate reporting demonstrates:

• Corporate values aligned with environmental responsibility
• Internal accountability for sustainability goals, including through cross-department ownership
• Willingness to be transparent, which builds pride and loyalty among teams

How Speeki helps: Our tools support internal stakeholder engagement, awareness campaigns, and programme tracking. ESG becomes something employees contribute to, not just something reported externally.

4. The Public Demands Accountability – Not Greenwashing

Public trust is harder to earn and easier to lose. In Singapore, where scrutiny from NGOs, media, and climate advocates is growing, weak or delayed climate disclosures can lead to:

• Reputational damage if claims can’t be substantiated
• Scrutiny from watchdogs who expect companies to back up net-zero or climate-neutral goals
• A loss of competitive edge, especially for consumer-facing brands

How Speeki helps: Our platform enables transparency at every step, from audit to disclosure templates and sustainability performance dashboards. You can show not just what you’re saying, but what you’re doing.

The Bottom Line: Disclose What Matters, To the People Who Matter

Singaporean regulators are setting the minimum bar. But your stakeholders – investors, customers, employees, and the public – are already expecting more. The companies that meet these expectations early will gain trust, attract capital, retain talent, and stay ahead of reputational risks.

Speeki’s Sustainability Management Platform is designed to help Singaporean businesses lead, not follow. We give you the tools to engage stakeholders, structure your data, and deliver climate disclosures that truly resonate.
