Singapore: MAS launches ESG Impact Hub

Source: Asia Insurance Review | Nov 2022

The Monetary Authority of Singapore (MAS) has launched the ESG Impact Hub to spur co-location and collaboration between ESG fintech start-ups and solution providers, financial institutions and real-economy stakeholders.
 
The hub will also anchor industry-driven sustainability initiatives such the Point Carbon Zero Programme and KPMG’s ESG Business Foundry.
 
The establishment of the hub seeks to capitalise on the strong industry interest in Project Greenprint and expedite the growth of Singapore’s ESG ecosystem on three fronts:
  • Growing ESG fintechs: The hub will facilitate the discovery, scaling and deployment of technology solutions to address ESG needs of corporates and financial institutions, notably in terms of accurate measurement, reporting and verification of climate and sustainability data.
  • Anchoring ESG enablers: MAS will engage knowledge partners, financial institutions and investors to organise key ESG initiatives out of the Hub, such as ESG fintech accelerator programmes, training and capacity-building workshops, and thought leadership events.
  • Supporting ESG stakeholders: MAS will engage the hub community to deploy its programmes and solutions to drive material, quantifiable impacts that support sectoral transition efforts, with particular emphasis on the eight focus sectors identified by the Green Finance Industry Taskforce.
 
At the time of launch, 15 ESG fintechs and organisations are already set up at the Hub. MAS will continue to engage stakeholders in building its onsite community, and fostering partnerships to enhance financial sector access to high-quality climate and sustainability data, to support more efficient deployment of capital towards green and sustainable projects. A
