Compliance to competitiveness: Why SEFR matters
Singapore’s decision to delay mandatory climate reporting for most listed companies by three to five years may sound like breathing space. But is it really? Or does it mask a bigger challenge for businesses that think they can wait it out?
In this episode of Ask PwC Singapore, produced in collaboration with The Business Times, I speak with Kok Ping Soon, CEO of the Singapore Business Federation (SBF), and Marcus Lam, executive chairman of PwC Singapore. Together, they cut through the jargon to explain what this delay truly means and why it isn’t the reprieve some might think it is.
Why listen?
Find out what parts of climate reporting are not delayed, and why that matters.
Get clarity on SEFR (Singapore Emission Factors Registry), the tool designed to make reporting accurate and credible.
Hear how Singapore’s SMEs are coping with sustainability pressures and what could happen if they don’t act fast.
Learn why regulators and industry leaders want businesses to see sustainability not as a compliance burden but as a path to competitiveness.
The delay is a second chance. And the bigger question is whether companies will seize it to prepare or squander it while others move ahead.
The delay is not a reason to slow down. It is a chance to get ahead and SEFR gives businesses the tools to do it with confidence.
