UOB and EnterpriseSG launch sustainability-linked financing programme for SMEs

The programme will help SMEs reduce sustainability-linked costs by 85%.

UOB and Enterprise Singapore (EnterpriseSG) launched a Sustainability-Linked Advisory, Grants and Enablers (SAGE) Programme for small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs).

The program simplifies sustainability-linked financing for SMEs, offering UOB preferential loan rates to SMEs meeting pre-agreed sustainability performance targets (SPTs).

The programme collaborates with sustainability partners CDP, Convene ESG, M1, Paia Consulting, PwC Singapore, and TÜV SÜD, enabling SMEs to join a unified initiative with predefined SPTs.

Under the SAGE Programme, companies can select from three “plug and play” options of predefined, sector-specific SPTs to obtain sustainability-linked financing from UOB.

The SPTs, validated by Environmental Resources Management, target three main areas: GHG emissions reduction, management systems certification, and ESG rating enhancement.

With UOB's preferential pricing through its sustainability partners and Enterprise Singapore's support, SMEs can cover up to 85% of costs for ESG digital platforms, advisory and assurance services for GHG inventory, ISO management system certification, and improving ESG disclosures to meet SPTs.

What is Lorem Ipsum?

What is Lorem Ipsum? Lorem Ipsum is simply dummy text of the printing and typesetting industry. Lorem Ipsum has been the industry's standard dummy text ever since the 1500s, when an unknown printer took a galley of type and scrambled it to make a type specimen book. It has survived not only five centuries, but also the leap into electronic typesetting, remaining essentially unchanged. It was popularised in the 1960s with the release of Letraset sheets containing Lorem Ipsum passages, and more recently with desktop publishing software like Aldus PageMaker including versions of Lorem Ipsum.
