As Singapore moves towards mandatory ISSB reporting, SMEs have an opportunity to begin preparing now to stay ahead of regulations. Although not currently mandatory for them, ISSB compliance is fast becoming a critical capability for SMEs, given the increasing requirement by large corporations and MNCs to assess their suppliers’ sustainability performance. As such, it is beneficial for SMEs to start thinking about compliance now. Here are three key areas SMEs need to consider for ISSB compliance: ?? Identify Material ESG Factors: SMEs need to identify which environmental, social, and governance (ESG) factors are material to their business. This will form the foundation of climate-related financial disclosures. Understanding materiality will ensure that reporting is focused on issues that matter most to stakeholders and regulators. ?? Implement Climate-Related Risk Management: Understanding how climate-related risks impact your business operations and financial performance is key. ?? Start Building a Comprehensive Data Collection Process: It's essential to establish a strong data collection process that captures critical sustainability metrics, including Scope 1 (direct), Scope 2 (indirect), and Scope 3 (supply chain) emissions. By collecting and organizing this data early, your organization can not only track its environmental impact but also prepare for potential regulatory changes. A robust data collection process will ensure smoother transitions into mandatory reporting and enhance your ability to meet sustainability goals efficiently. At Rimm, we are here to help simplify this process by providing the necessary tools to track emissions, manage risks, and comply with emerging ISSB standards. As an organization, there is no better time than now to get ahead of the curve and start preparing for a sustainable future! Find out more about why SMEs should start engaging with ISSB reporting now and about the grant support available ?? https://lnkd.in/e-EZ8yi4 #SustainabilityForAll #ESGCompliance #ClimateAction
