Gprnt, a digital ESG platform backed by Singapore's Monetary Authority (MAS), has launched tools designed to make sustainability reporting easier for small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs), corporates, and financial institutions. The tools aim to assist businesses in tracking and managing their Environmental, Social, and Governance (ESG) data, aligning with Singapore's Green Plan 2030.
Gprnt, a new ESG-focused digital platform developed with the support of the Monetary Authority of Singapore (MAS), has introduced its initial set of tools aimed at simplifying sustainability reporting for businesses. The platform’s Disclosure tool helps companies efficiently manage their emissions data, while its Marketplace connects users with a wide array of sustainability solutions. These initiatives are designed to meet the growing demand for accessible ESG tools, particularly as over 40% of businesses in Singapore express uncertainty in starting their sustainability journeys.
Ravi Menon, Chairman of the GFTN Board of Directors and Singapore's Ambassador for Climate Action, noted, “The launch of Gprnt’s solutions is a milestone in Singapore’s sustainability journey. Gprnt’s suite of solutions will provide businesses with digital infrastructure to access and report verifiable ESG data in a streamlined manner, strengthening their climate risk management and net-zero efforts.”
Gprnt’s tools have been designed to address the gap in resources and knowledge that many companies face when it comes to sustainability reporting. The platform’s AI-powered Disclosure tool automates tracking for Scope 1 and 2 emissions, providing businesses, especially SMEs, with a starting point for ESG reporting. This tool is free for individual business use, giving companies full control over their data and offering the option to share their emissions information. Larger organizations can also customize the tool to track supply chain data for Scope 3 reporting.
The Marketplace offers users access to 78 sustainability solutions, covering areas like carbon accounting, energy optimization, and green financing.
Government leaders have emphasized Gprnt’s importance in simplifying sustainability reporting. Lim Tuang Liang, Singapore's Government Chief Sustainability Officer, said, “Gprnt’s suite of solutions and tools will play a significant role in simplifying the management and reporting of sustainability data, enabling organisations to focus on developing impactful sustainability strategies.”
As part of its expansion plan, Gprnt aims to roll out pilots and partner with trade bodies and government agencies to broaden the adoption of ESG reporting solutions. Additionally, regional expansion is planned, as Gprnt seeks to meet the growing demand for comprehensive sustainability tools across Asia. New features, such as an AI-powered assistant and digital assurance module, are also planned for future releases.
Ravi Menon concluded, “The value proposition of these solutions will become increasingly compelling as Gprnt scales regionally to support the broader transition across Asia.”
