June 2011: Singapore - The Singapore Stock Exchange (SGX) launched the official version of its Policy and Guide to Sustainability Reporting for Listed Companies. This positive move encourages companies to voluntarily report on their sustainability and CSR risks, opportunities, practices and operational responses.
SGX commented that "It has long been recognised that the way businesses operate can have long terms effects on the environment and society. SGX, as a responsible Exchange with global reach, has responded with a Guide for listed companies."
Paia Consulting is a trusted advisor to many of the leading organisations in Singapore who have already helped to produce Sustainability Reports such as CDL, Sembcorp, SingTel, Keppel Corp and CapitaLand (click here).

At Paia Consulting, our mission is to deliver innovative and sustainable business solutions to our clients.
We focus on assisting companies with their sustainability or CSR issues and provide services to:
o identify material sustainability issues,
o develop practical and transparent strategic responses, and
o implement those strategies into the fabric of the organisation.
With Paia’s expertise, companies can improve their sustainability performance through practical, measurable and cost-effective solutions.
Although there are many terms for ‘Sustainability’ such as Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR), Corporate Responsibility (CR), Corporate Citizenship or ESG, the everyday reality is that whatever you decide to call it, there is an increasing recognition that environmental, social and governance issues pose serious potential risks, and numerous opportunities, to all businesses.
"Whatever you decide to call it, environmental, social and governance issues must be effectively managed"
Regardless of industry, sector and size of organisation, sustainability is here to stay and must be addressed. The degree to which each of the issues are important to your company may differ in emphasis from your competitors and peers, but the fundamental sustainability performance indicators are generally agreed upon by a number of important international principles and organisations. The question you need to ask is; What is our organisation is doing about them?
Recognising and responding to the more holistic approach to sustainability is where Paia Consulting can deliver the greatest value to your organisation.
At PAIA we strongly believe that good sustainability management positively impacts the wider business strategy and reputation. In our experience, companies that are pro-actively developing and improving their sustainability management practices also tend to have a good reputation for their corporate management approach and are better addressing future business risks in a manner compatible with the principles of sustainability.
