Environmental, Social & Governance performance

PrintMailRate-it
In October 2022, the Monetary Authority of Singapore (“MAS”) launched the Environment, Social Governance (“ESG”) Impact Hub. The aim of the Hub is to capitalize on the strong industry interest in Project Greenprint (a project launched in December 2020 to harness innovation and technology to promote a green finance ecosystem) and to expedite the growth of Singapore’s ESG eco-system by growing ESG FinTechs, anchoring ESG enablers, and supporting ESG stakeholders. 
  

Environment, Social Governance Impact Hub

In September 2022, MAS and Singapore Exchange launched the SGX ESGenome (which is one of the four digital platforms of Project Greenprint). SGX ESGenome is the result of MAS and Singapore Exchange’s efforts to simplify, standardize and improve corporate disclosures and enhance stakeholder access and the use of consistent and comparable ESG data. 
  

Sustainable Trade Index

In November 2022, Swiss Business School, Institute for Management Development and the Asia-based philanthropy, Hinrich Foundation published its 2022 Sustainable Trade Index (“STI”). 
  
The STI measures economies' readiness and capacity to participate in the global trading system in a manner that supports the long-term goals of economic growth, environmental protection, and societal development. 
This year, Singapore has been ranked 5th among 30 economies for the sustainability of its global trade practices. Singapore came behind New Zealand, the United Kingdom, Hong Kong, and Japan in terms of overall scores.
