SingPost's SME suppliers to get help going green

A new initiative aims to help the smaller companies that supply Singapore Post (SingPost) transition to more sustainable business models.

SingPost chief sustainability officer Michelle Lee said the programme is needed as many small- and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) may want to go green but are not sure how to start.

It aims to bridge the gap between growing expectations of larger companies and the lack of expertise among their suppliers to deliver accurate carbon emissions data, which is necessary for climate reporting.

“We recognise that SMEs juggle numerous pressing concerns in their daily operations,” said Ms Lee.

The Queen Bee Enabled Sustainability Transition (Quest) programme, as it is called, involves suppliers undergoing in-depth training workshops focused on environmental, social and governance sustainability indicators.
