In 2018, teenage Swedish environmental activist Greta Thunberg caused a worldwide sensation by protesting outside the Swedish parliament to raise awareness for climate change activism. Since then, a whole gamut of issues associated with the environment has constantly been in the spotlight.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

It\u2019s not just environmental concerns that are becoming increasingly critical, but a more comprehensive range of issues pertinent to human rights. The term ESG \u2014 an acronym for Environmental, Social and (Corporate) Governance \u2014 has started to gain prominence as a set of standards for a company\u2019s operations that socially conscious investors use to screen potential investments.<\/p>\n

Here are some examples of what the ESG criteria entail<\/a>:<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

The Singaporean Context<\/h3>\n

Globally, ESG investing has been experiencing monumental growth, with ESG assets under management jumping from US$22.8 trillion in 2016 to US$30.6 trillion in 2018<\/a>, and projected to exceed US$53 trillion by 2025.<\/p>\n

In contrast to the global scene, Singapore appears to be more conservative when it comes to ESG investing. In an HSBC survey this year, only a quarter of Singapore investors\u2019 investments consider ESG factors<\/a>, despite 80 per cent of them believing that sustainable, environmental and ethical issues are essential in managing their investments.<\/p>\n

This could be attributed to a lack of knowledge on ESG investing \u2014 two in three investors in Singapore said they do not want to lose out financially when tackling ESG issues, while 58 per cent noted that although they would like to do more, they do not know how to approach this as an investor.<\/p>\n

Almost half of the investors alluded to a lack of sustainable investment products that meet their needs and concerns. About 38 per cent pointed out high costs as a hurdle, while 36 per cent do not want to limit the range of sectors or companies they invest in.<\/p>\n

While the uptake rate of ESG factors is still low, there is much potential for Singapore given that the government has made great strides in paving the way for advancement in ESG.<\/p>\n

One initiative is the Monetary Authority of Singapore\u2019s (MAS) Green Finance Action Plan<\/a> introduced in 2019. With the objective of building a more sustainable future, the plan aims to strengthen the financial sector\u2019s resilience, develop markets and solutions, harness technology and build knowledge and capabilities. For instance, MAS launched the S$1.75m Global FinTech Innovation Challenge in 2020 to seek out innovative solutions to help financial institutions respond better to the pandemic and climate change.<\/p>\n

The Singapore Government also has plans to issue green bonds worth S$19 billion<\/a> to pay for public sector infrastructure projects that have a positive environmental impact. One of the projects that will be financed with green bonds is Tuas Nexus, Singapore\u2019s first integrated water and solid waste treatment facility slated for completion in 2025.<\/p>\n

ESG criteria<\/h3>\n

Although investors in Singapore have not quite jumped on the ESG bandwagon yet, it is nonetheless crucial to understand what it means when an organisation has met ESG criteria. What will future investors look for?\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

A survey by IHS Markit<\/a> shows that some top ESG metrics sought by Private Equity fund investors are:<\/p>\n

    \n
  1. ESG Policy:<\/strong> The presence of a formal ESG policy provides a valuable starting point for conversations between investors and the management team of the portfolio companies or fund.<\/li>\n
  2. Corporate Code of Ethics:<\/strong> The presence of a formal code of ethics indicates a foundational process to guide management and employees as they carry out organisational objectives.<\/li>\n
  3. Net Employee Composition:<\/strong> Examining workforce management, including the ratios of part-time and contract workers, gives investors visibility into the way the management team allocates a key component of the organisation\u2019s budget.<\/li>\n
  4. Environmental Policy:<\/strong> The presence of a formal environmental policy provides insights into a management team\u2019s ability to monitor and address the environmental costs of the organisation\u2019s office or facility practices, product and service development and delivery and post-use impacts.<\/li>\n
  5. Data and Cybersecurity Incidents:<\/strong> Data management processes can put the organisation at considerable risk. Management needs to demonstrate a track record of transparency in reporting all incidents and their potential legal impacts.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

    Evidently, ESG metrics encompass a wide spectrum \u2014 from workforce management to the environment and even data management. Companies in Singapore who are looking to increase their market value should keep these metrics in mind and more importantly, be willing to channel resources to the development of ESG initiatives.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

    With this, organisations in Singapore will be well-equipped to embrace a future where ESG criteria becomes even more valuable to investors.<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
