Recognising the role that Singapore’s charity sector plays in advancing the country’s environmental, social and governance (ESG) agenda, KPMG in Singapore, in collaboration with the Ministry of Culture, Community and Youth, has launched an ESG Playbook for Charities, serving as a guide for these organisations to kickstart their ESG journeys. This essential guide aims to support over 2,300 charities and Institutions of Public Character (IPCs) in Singapore.
The playbook is meticulously crafted to address the diverse maturity levels of charities, offering a structured pathway for integrating ESG principles into their operations. It provides a spectrum of actionable steps and industry best practices, enabling organisations to effectively navigate their unique challenges. This tailored approach not only supports operational alignment with sustainability goals but also equips charities with the tools to enhance their strategic capabilities and stakeholder engagement. By focusing on these key areas, the playbook positions charities to excel in governance and impact, making them more attractive partners for corporate donors with a strong commitment to ESG values.
