 | Dear IES Members,
We're pleased to share with all, two reports released by Schneider Electric on the topic of sustainability. One is a joint study on green buildings with Singapore Green Building Council, and another on decarbonization where they surveyed over 200 senior business leaders. To learn more about each report, click on the preview links below.
1. Joint report with Singapore Green Building Council: "Going Green from the Inside Out"
This report presents and analyses the findings of a survey by Schneider Electric involving 500 business leaders across 340 Large Corporates/MNCs and 160 Small and Medium Enterprises (SMEs) in Singapore, as well as findings from a qualitative study conducted with members of the Singapore Green Building Council (SGBC) on the state and perceptions of green buildings in Singapore. The field work was undertaken between October 2022 and February 2023. |
 | 2. Ready for Net Zero Responsibility: How Singapore's Business Leaders are Embracing Decarbonisation
The findings of this report come at a crucial time as Singapore raises its national climate target to achieve “net zero emissions by 2050”. Amongst other findings, the report reveals that C-suite business leaders are aware of the challenges and are willing to be accountable for decarbonisation. The report is based on a survey of over 200 senior business leaders across MNCs and SMEs in Singapore that have decarbonisation plans in place. |
