Singapore and Malaysia
Yes. Enterprise Singapore’s SME Sustainability Reporting Programme supports up to 70% of the reporting package fee for applications made between 1 November 2024 and 31 October 2027. Three conditions apply: the business is registered and operating in Singapore, at least 30% of its equity is held by Singaporeans or permanent residents, and it has group annual turnover of S$100 million or less OR 200 employees or fewer — that last one is either test, not both.
The programme pairs SMEs with appointed service providers to produce a first sustainability report at negotiated rates, with the grant covering part of the cost. Enterprise Singapore runs it with the Singapore Business Federation, which also fronts several sector and supply-chain initiatives. The 30% local shareholding condition is the one that catches people out — it rules out a foreign-owned business operating here.
Adjacent schemes worth knowing: the SME Cost and Carbon Reduction Programme, aimed at energy and emissions reduction rather than reporting, and QUEST — Queen Bee Enabled Sustainability Transition — which works through large buyers to bring their SME suppliers along.
