Reporting Reliefs Explained: Singapore's ISSB Adoption Plan
Episode 9 of GreenCo's Singapore Green Plan series breaks down the proposed reporting standards from Singapore's 2023 climate reporting consultation. We translate the legal jargon into clear, practical insights on transition reliefs and how companies can combine different reporting frameworks.
What You'll Learn in This Video
- Why Singapore chose ISSB-based standards as the basis for climate reporting
- Transitional reliefs and relief periods, for example for Scope 3 emissions
- How ISSB-based climate disclosures can be combined with other frameworks, such as GRI, for wider sustainability reporting
- What this means for your company's reporting roadmap
Plan Your ISSB Transition Early
Reliefs give companies breathing room, but they are temporary. Using the relief period to build data systems, governance and scenario analysis capabilities makes the move to full ISSB-aligned reporting much smoother. Don't navigate the new standards alone: see GreenCo's sustainability reporting advisory.
