The Confederation of Asia-Pacific Chambers of Commerce and Industry (CACCI) has agreed to be a major partner of the Green Alliance Initiative of the Singapore Manufacturing Federation (SMF).  The Green Alliance Initiative aims to help SMEs in the Asia-Pacific region to embark on their sustainability transformation, sharing of best practices, standards development, advisory support, recognition, and collectively striving towards a net-zero goal and be future-ready for Industry 5.0. Underscoring its importance, CACCI President Mr. Peter McMullin AM said that the Green Alliance Initiative is designed to empower SMEs on their sustainability journey.

In this connection, CACCI would like to invite its members to participate in the The Joint Regional Sustainability Survey which aims to understand the sustainability challenges and needs of enterprises across the Asia-Pacific region. The survey focuses on assessing the current awareness, capabilities and obstacles companies face in the different Asia Pacific economies when integrating economic, environmental and social criteria into their operations.

The key objectives of the survey include:

• By engaging companies from different countries, the survey aims to uncover regional variations and commonalities in sustainability challenges and needs, providing a holistic understanding of the business landscape.
• The insights will help us form tailored programs and resources that enable companies to implement sustainable practices effectively, enhancing their competitiveness and resilience in a rapidly evolving global market.
• This effort seeks to foster a unified APAC voice on sustainability, encouraging shared learning and collaboration among businesses and stakeholders to drive impactful, region-wide sustainability outcomes.
• The aggregated data will provide valuable input for industry leaders, shaping standards that are supportive of companies and aligned with global sustainability goals.
