Singapore Unveils Free ESG Data Platform For SMEs

In a landmark move that redefines sustainability reporting, Singapore has introduced a nationwide digital platform that allows businesses, especially small and medium enterprises (SMEs), to automatically generate high-integrity ESG (Environmental, Social, and Governance) metrics using verified government data—completely free of charge. This innovative platform, known as Gprnt, has been launched by the Monetary Authority of Singapore (MAS) through its Global Finance and Technology Network (GFTN), signaling a transformative leap in how businesses manage and report their environmental impact.

Gprnt integrates directly with Singapore’s GovTech Myinfo Business platform to access a company’s verified water, electricity, and town gas usage. This data is then converted into key sustainability disclosures such as Scope 1 and Scope 2 carbon emissions within minutes. This seamless and automated reporting process dramatically reduces the complexity, time, and cost traditionally associated with ESG compliance—particularly for SMEs, which often struggle with limited resources to meet growing sustainability demands.

“Gprnt is a game-changer for Singapore companies’ sustainability reporting,” said Ravi Menon, Chairman of the GFTN Board and Singapore’s Ambassador for Climate Action. “High-integrity sustainability data is critical for businesses to make informed decisions and meet global regulatory standards. Yet, harnessing such data is often costly and complex for SMEs. Gprnt empowers businesses to undertake sustainability reporting at lower cost and with less pain.”

With ESG disclosures becoming increasingly mandatory across global supply chains and financial markets, Gprnt’s user-friendly, cost-free platform helps level the playing field. It allows companies to not only comply with investor and regulatory expectations but also unlock access to green finance, sustainable procurement, and other environmentally linked incentives. In doing so, Gprnt becomes an enabler of both environmental responsibility and business competitiveness.

The platform’s impact is being fueled further by a significant injection of capital. Gprnt has secured US$4.62 million in seed funding from prominent financial powerhouses Ant International and MUFG Bank. This investment will support Gprnt’s expansion across Asia, the enhancement of its AI-driven capabilities, and the acceleration of partnerships within the digital ESG ecosystem.

“Digital innovation and industry collaborations are key to helping micro, small, and medium enterprises (MSMEs) in their sustainability transformation journeys,” said Leiming Chen, Chief Sustainability Officer at Ant International. Through its Programme Sirius, Ant plans to integrate Gprnt into its digital ecosystem to support unified ESG disclosures and promote inclusive, green growth.

Echoing this sentiment, Taichi Murakami, Deputy Head of Global Corporate & Investment Banking for Asia Pacific at MUFG Bank, praised Gprnt’s innovative approach: “Gprnt’s ability to re-imagine how companies integrate sustainability data and reporting into their operations is outstanding. This is a pivotal moment in Asia’s energy transition.”

The creation of a digital, government-integrated ESG reporting infrastructure—available at a national scale and without cost—is a world first. It positions Singapore at the forefront of global green finance innovation, while also providing a replicable model for other nations looking to support climate action through technological empowerment.

“With our investors and strategic partners, we’ve built a landmark solution that empowers companies of all sizes to transform ESG reporting from a burden to a bridge,” said Lionel Wong, Executive Director of Gprnt. “This platform not only democratizes access to critical environmental data but also supports Singapore’s broader vision of becoming a global green finance hub.”

By enabling businesses to focus more on sustainability strategy and less on data collection and compliance hurdles, Gprnt is setting a new standard for how ESG integration can be achieved—equitably, efficiently, and at scale. As the region moves forward in its climate commitments, Gprnt is poised to play a pivotal role in aligning business growth with environmental stewardship.
