Driving enterprise and industry sustainability

Launched in 2025, the OCBC SME Start ESG Programme helps SMEs begin their sustainability journey by providing sustainability assessments, expert guidance and access to sustainability-linked financing.

By linking financing to sustainability performance, it incentivises SMEs to start and continue their sustainability journey.

Led by the National Climate Change Secretariat and Singapore Business Federation, with support from Enterprise Singapore and other partners, C3T aims to help enterprises strengthen their climate resilience and competitiveness.

Working closely with the industry, C3T will develop practical solutions to help businesses plan for and respond to climate change, in areas such as climate disclosure, green procurement, and sustainable financing.

With support from Enterprise Singapore, Castlery developed its sustainability strategy, formalised sustainability policies and published its inaugural sustainability report aligned with GRI standards.

The company also refreshed the sustainability zone at its flagship store, translating its sustainability commitments into a tangible customer experience. Together, these strengthened Castlery’s internal sustainability capabilities and brand positioning in key international markets.
