Countries, global corporations and consumers are increasingly embracing sustainability and placing emphasis on sustainable practices. Against this backdrop, Singapore companies too recognise the need to integrate sustainability into their businesses in order to remain competitive in the local and global economy.
The Enterprise Sustainability Programme (ESP) supports Singapore companies, especially our SMEs, to build capabilities and capture new opportunities. We are here to support your sustainability journey, no matter which stage you are at.
We will work with industry partners to develop sustainability initiatives and programmes, and foster a vibrant and conducive sustainability ecosystem.
Get started on your sustainability journey by participating in the Enterprise Sustainability Programme (ESP) – Sustainability Courses series.
The Sustainability Courses series aims to help local enterprises build awareness and knowledge of sustainability, covering sustainability trends, risks and opportunities, basic concepts and topics. Topics include decarbonisation, circular economy, sustainability reporting, carbon management and waste management. Participants will receive a Certificate of Completion from training providers upon completion of the courses.
