A National Movement for Business-Led Climate Action

Climate adaptation and sustainability reporting are not separate agendas. Both prepare businesses for a future in which climate considerations increasingly shape markets, investment flows, and competitive advantage.

The tools are here. The ecosystem is coming together. I encourage more listed companies to step forward, seize the growing array of opportunities available through ecosystem enablers such as SGX, C3T, and Gprnt, and turn climate action into sustainable and practical business outcomes.

Climate action is not a mere reporting exercise that sits outside business strategy. It is increasingly shaping markets, financing, procurement, and competitiveness itself. First movers will be better positioned.

C3T and Green 100 are here to help businesses make the climate transition with greater clarity, confidence, and support.

• Not sustainability as compliance. But sustainability as competitiveness.
• Not climate action as burden. But climate action as enterprise value.
• Not acting alone. But together as an ecosystem – Queen Bees, SMEs, financial institutions, government.

The Green 100 Movement will bring together enterprises, SMEs, and solution providers to achieve their sustainability goals, strengthen supply chain transparency, and capture green opportunities. It aims to make it easier and more accessible for businesses, especially SMEs, to advance in their green transformation.

Businesses can start their sustainability journeys with the new Green 100 Essential Badge, which makes it easy to capture your company’s ESG data, improve performance and unlock new benefits.

Public-private collaboration is essential to scaling meaningful sustainability adoption. By bringing together government and industry leaders, we can create enabling conditions for firms, especially SMEs, to take practical first steps without unnecessary complexity.

Through Green 100, SMEs have a clear and practical pathway to unlock enterprise value in the green economy, as large procurers come onboard the movement and cascade green considerations into their supply chains with reference to a common framework in TR149.  By aligning public and private sector efforts around TR149, we hope that Singapore can accelerate the transition to a low-carbon economy while enhancing long-term business competitiveness. long-term value across Singapore’s economy.

Green 100 is not just another Queen Bee programme. It is a common national platform that brings Queen Bee efforts together, aligns them around a shared standard, and allows them to scale much more effectively. It keeps what is valuable about the existing approach — large companies helping to uplift their value chains — but strengthens it with three things we have not had before: critical mass, common standards, and a scalable digital pathway.

As the initiative grows, C3T will continue working with ecosystem partners to keep Green 100 practical, inclusive and commercially relevant. That includes connecting SMEs to solution providers and expanding access to green procurement and financing opportunities for companies that move up the tiers.

SMEs form the building blocks of national economies, yet efforts to green them at scale have met with limited success worldwide. The Green 100 leverages Singapore’s strengths – robust public-private leadership and coordination, a new national standard, and the world’s first digital utility for sustainability reporting – to partner Queen Bees in significantly lowering the barriers for their SMEs to get started, and in doing so access granular and verifiable on their supply chains.

As the Green 100 moves to progressively incorporate real market demand in the form of procurement, financing, and green growth opportunities, we start to make sustainability not just viable, but valuable.

Sustainability has moved from aspiration to expectation – and the bar continues to rise. Helping businesses meet that challenge is at the core of what EnterpriseSG does, and Technical Reference (TR) 149:2026 is a key part of that effort.

SMEs in particular will find TR 149 useful in charting their sustainability journey, strengthening their appeal to investors, customers, and talent while building a stronger foundation for future growth.
