SINGAPORE, May 22, 2025 – In a global first, Singapore-based sustainability reporting platform Gprnt (Greenprint) has unveiled a nationwide digital utility that allows businesses — particularly small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) — to automatically generate basic sustainability metrics using government-sourced utilities data.
The initiative, launched by the Monetary Authority of Singapore (MAS) under the Global Finance and Technology Network (GFTN), has secured US$ 4.62million in seed funding from Ant International and MUFG Bank. The platform is set to revolutionise corporate sustainability reporting by simplifying disclosures and helping businesses access green finance and procurement opportunities.
Seamless Data Integration for Instant ESG Reporting
Gprnt integrates with Singapore’s MyInfo Business service, allowing companies to securely retrieve water, gas, and electricity consumption data from national agencies such as PUB (Singapore’s National Water Agency) and the Energy Market Authority (EMA).
Within minutes, businesses can convert this data into Scope 1 and 2 emissions values—key metrics for sustainability reporting—free of charge. This automation eliminates the complexity and high costs traditionally associated with environmental, social, and governance (ESG) disclosures.
Driving SME Adoption of Carbon Accounting
The platform aligns with Singapore’s ambition to become a global leader in green finance and supports national efforts by Enterprise Singapore to encourage carbon accounting among SMEs.
By streamlining sustainability reporting, Gprnt helps businesses:
✔ Meet regulatory and investor ESG requirements
✔ Access sustainability-linked financing
✔ Qualify for green procurement tenders
✔ Unlock new economic opportunities in the green economy
Ravi Menon, Chairman of GFTN and Singapore’s Ambassador for Climate Action, said: “Gprnt is a game-changer for Singapore companies’ sustainability reporting. High-integrity sustainability data is critical for businesses to formulate effective decarbonisation plans. Yet, harnessing such data is often costly and complex for SMEs. Gprnt empowers businesses to undertake sustainability reporting at lower cost and with less pain.”
Backing from Global Financial Heavyweights
The seed funding from Ant International and MUFG Bank will accelerate Gprnt’s expansion, enhancing its AI capabilities, digital infrastructure, and regional partnerships.
Leiming Chen, Chief Sustainability Officer at Ant International, commented: “Digital innovation and industry collaborations are key to helping MSMEs in their sustainability transformation journeys. We look forward to working with Gprnt to support more businesses with inclusive growth, enabling them to adapt and unlock new opportunities.”
Taichi Murakami, Deputy Head of Global Corporate & Investment Banking, Asia Pacific at MUFG Bank, added: “Gprnt’s ability to re-imagine sustainability data integration is outstanding. This first-of-its-kind utility exemplifies how digital innovation can drive Asia’s energy transition.”
From Singapore to the World
Gprnt plans to expand across Asia, introducing features such as:
🔹 A sustainability marketplace
🔹 AI-powered ESG analytics
🔹 Scope 3 supply chain reporting support
🔹 An end-to-end digital assurance service
Lionel Wong, Executive Director of Gprnt, stated: “We’ve built a landmark solution that transforms ESG reporting from a burden to a bridge. We’re excited to empower more governments, financial institutions, and SMEs to make sustainable business practices the norm.”
With its pioneering approach, Gprnt is poised to become a global catalyst for transparent, efficient, and accessible sustainability reporting—starting with Singapore but with ambitions far beyond.
