How to use this site
A short tour of what is on each page, who it is for, and where to go first depending on what you are trying to do. No prior knowledge assumed.
What this site is
If your organisation has to report on sustainability in Singapore, the information you need is scattered. The rules are on one government site, the reporting standards on another, and the numbers you need to calculate emissions somewhere else again. All of it changes.
This site pulls those three things into one place:
- The rules — what Singapore requires, who it applies to, and by when.
- The standards — the international rulebooks (GRI, ISSB, ISO 14064) that say how a report should be written.
- The numbers — emission factors, which convert everyday activity like electricity use into a carbon figure.
It also watches the official websites for you and lists anything new, so you do not have to check twenty pages by hand.
Where to start
Pick whichever of these sounds most like you.
“I have just been told we need to report. What applies to us?”
Go to SG Regulations. Each entry says plainly who it applies to, the size or emissions threshold that pulls an organisation in, and the dates things start. The ones that catch the most organisations are listed first.
Open SG Regulations“We know we have to report. How do we actually write it?”
Go to Frameworks. A framework is a rulebook for what a sustainability report should contain. Each page explains what that rulebook asks for, and — importantly — a section called “What this means in Singapore” that connects it to the local rules.
Open Frameworks“I need to turn our electricity bill into a carbon number.”
Go to Emission Factors to look up the number, or Calculator to do the arithmetic. Both show you exactly which official publication each number came from.
“I just want to keep an eye on what is changing.”
Go to Updates. Tick Singapore only and set the period to the last 30 days for a quick catch-up.
Last 30 days, Singapore only“I keep hitting abbreviations I do not recognise.”
This field has more three-letter abbreviations than almost any other. The Glossary explains each one in a sentence or two.

| Page | What it is for |
|---|---|
| Home | A dashboard. Recent updates, deadlines coming up, and the emission factors people look up most. |
| Updates | Everything new, collected automatically from official sources. Filter by subject, date or organisation. |
| SG Regulations | Singapore's rules. Who they apply to, the thresholds, and the dates. |
| Frameworks | The international reporting rulebooks, explained, and how each connects to Singapore. |
| Emission Factors | The conversion numbers, each with its unit, its year, and a link to the official source. |
| Calculator | Enter how much you used; get an estimate with the workings shown. |
| Sources | Which websites are being watched, whether each is working, and a box to add another. |
| Glossary | Plain-English definitions of the abbreviations. |
| About | How the site keeps itself up to date, and what it deliberately does not do. |
Five things worth understanding
You do not need these to browse, but they make everything else click.
Three common tasks, step by step
Find the electricity emission factor for a given year
- Open Emission Factors.
- The Singapore electricity figure is highlighted in the box at the top, with earlier years listed beside it.
- Read across the row: the number, the unit it is measured in, and the year it applies to.
- Click the source link on the right to open the official publication. Cite that, not this page.
Estimate the emissions from your office electricity
- Open the Calculator.
- In the first dropdown, choose the Singapore electricity factor for your reporting year.
- Type your annual electricity use into Quantity. The grey box beside it tells you the unit expected — match it to your bill.
- Give it a label like “Head office FY2025” so the result is readable.
- Click Add activity for anything else you want to include, then Calculate.
- The result shows each line, the factor used, the source, and the total. Read the grey note underneath before using the number for anything official.
Keep watch on a website this site does not cover yet
- Open Sources.
- Paste the organisation's news page address into Add a source by URL.
- Give it a name and click Detect.
- The site works out how to read that page by itself. If it can, the source is added and checked from then on. If it cannot, it tells you rather than adding something broken.
Four things to be careful about
1. Always click through to the source. This site is a fast way to find and understand official information. It is not a substitute for it. Anything going into a regulatory filing should cite the original publication.
2. Check the year on every number. Emission factors are dated. The newest is not automatically the right one — the right one is the one for the year you are reporting.
3. The calculator is for a rough estimate. It is useful for getting a sense of scale or sanity-checking someone else's figure. A report that is actually filed needs decisions this tool does not make for you, such as exactly which parts of the business to count.
4. Some entries are marked “indicative”. That label means the figure could not be confirmed against an official publication with full confidence. Treat those as a starting point for your own checking, not as settled fact. Entries without the label were verified against a primary source.
