Sustainability

Helping companies place sustainability at the centre of their business

In Singapore, companies listed on the Singapore Exchange (SGX) must produce an annual sustainability report. In addition, climate-related disclosures aligned with the Task Force on Climate-related Financial Disclosures (TCFD) framework and increasingly, the International Sustainability Standards Board (ISSB) standards, are mandatory for listed issuers in key sectors, with a phased rollout for others.

Sustainability today goes beyond compliance, it drives performance, strengthens resilience and creates long-term value. Companies that embed environmental, social and governance (ESG)principles into their strategy gain a competitive advantage, enhance operational efficiency and build trust with investors, employees and customers.

At Forvis Mazars, our sustainability reporting services in Singapore support businesses from strategy design to implementation, embedding, reporting and assurance. By prioritising ESG, we help organisations align with regulatory requirements while also unlocking measurable benefits for their business, people and society.

Why sustainability and ESG matter

Adopting sustainability and ESG principles is central to long-term business success. Effective practices help companies:

• Mitigate risks by addressing challenges related to climate change, regulatory compliance and social responsibility
• Strengthen reputation and stakeholder confidence through accountability, transparency and ethical practices
• Unlock growth opportunities by attracting ESG-focused investors and access new, sustainable markets

By embedding sustainability into the heart of your business, you create lasting value, improve resilience and maintain a competitive edge in a rapidly evolving global economy.

Our approach

Sustainability creates opportunities to strengthen corporate resilience, generate economic value and deliver a positive societal impact. Companies that integrate ESG principles benefit from stronger governance, increased trust, improved employee engagement, operational efficiencies and long-term competitiveness.

At Forvis Mazars, we recognise that every organisation is at a different stage of its sustainability journey. Whether you need support with supply chain awareness, carbon mapping, climate risk assessments or diversity initiatives, we assemble a team of sustainability experts tailored to your specific goals.

A robust sustainability approach requires clear strategy, strong governance and credible corporate reporting. By aligning with ESG priorities and best practices, businesses can unlock tangible benefits including greater stakeholder trust, enhanced employee loyalty, reduced waste and long-term business value.
