ESG advisory for SMEs

ESG and Sustainability Consulting for Singapore SMEs

You do not need a sustainability department. You need clear answers when a customer, a bank or a tender asks for them. We work out what applies, what you already have, what is missing and what to fix first, without overbuilding the solution.

Fixed scope, fixed price. Board-ready report in 10 working days. Help with sustainability reporting, carbon data, customer ESG requests and growing compliance demands. Singapore-based, with specialist support across ASEAN where needed.

Who this is for

Most of our clients come to us with a trigger, not a strategy. If one of these has landed on your desk, you are exactly who we built this for.

A customer questionnaire

A large client or MNC sends a procurement questionnaire or supplier code of conduct, and the deadline is close.

Your bank or lender asks for sustainability information

Your loan renewal suddenly includes an ESG section, or your relationship manager mentions sustainable financing.

A tender with a sustainability section

The bid asks about emissions, governance and policies you have never had to write down before.

"Handle ESG" with no team

A director has been told to sort ESG out, with no budget, no headcount and no idea what good looks like.

What you get

Start from what has been asked of you, not from a framework. We keep the scope tight and the output usable. No 80-page reports that nobody reads.

Start here

Quick Diagnostic

Three documents built from what has been asked of you. Requirement Map: what triggered the work, what actually applies and what does not. Evidence Register: what you already have that can answer part of the requirement. Action Plan: what is missing, what matters first, what can wait and what needs to happen next.

  • Delivered as one board-ready report with a live debrief
  • 10 working days from a complete intake pack
  • Fixed scope, fixed price: S$2,800

Regulatory & ESG Readiness

We close the priority gaps in the order set by your Action Plan: what to measure, what to document, which policies to put in place.

  • Sized for SMEs, not listed companies
  • Built around what customers and banks actually ask
  • Choose only the modules you need

Why SMEs choose Smartu over a big firm

Large consultancies are built for large companies. Their frameworks assume teams, budgets and reporting obligations you do not have. The result is usually a programme sized for a company you are not.

We work the other way around. We start from what you already have, in the systems you already use, and we build only what a customer or bank will actually ask you to show. Practical, fixed in scope, and designed for leadership teams who need clarity fast.

We are also honest about what you do not need. ESG reporting is not mandatory for Singapore SMEs today. The pressure is commercial: it comes through supply chains, financing and tenders. Our job is to get you ready for that, not to sell you compliance you are not subject to. Background reading: what sustainability really means for a Singapore SME.

What it costs

Quick Diagnostic: fixed scope, S$2,800, 10 working days from a complete intake pack. Regulatory & ESG Readiness: scoped after the diagnostic and priced before we start. No open-ended retainers. We published a realistic breakdown of what ESG consulting costs for SMEs in Singapore, including where costs hide, so you can compare us or anyone else with open eyes.

Common questions

Is ESG reporting mandatory for my SME?

No. Mandatory climate reporting in Singapore currently applies to listed companies, and from FY2030 to very large non-listed companies. SMEs are affected indirectly, through what banks, buyers and tenders ask. That is where we focus.

We have almost nothing documented. Is it too early for a consultant?

That is the normal starting point. Most clients begin with scattered utility bills and no written policies. The diagnostic is designed exactly for that situation.

Can you just answer a questionnaire we received?

Yes. A single questionnaire or bank request is a common entry point, and often the fastest way to see what is missing.

Do you work outside Singapore?

We are Singapore-based, with regional expertise and specialist support across ASEAN where needed. If your business operates in more than one market, we map the requirements that actually apply to you.

Got a questionnaire, customer request or sustainability requirement?
