Two closed-door roundtables on 16 November will explore how sustainable procurement can create business opportunities for SMEs and how innovative financing can accelerate climate solutions from early-stage development to commercial scale.<\/div>\n

SINGAPORE – November 10, 2026 –<\/strong> Gprnt<\/a>, which powers the digital experience for Singapore’s Green 100 national movement, will host two closed-door roundtables at the Insights2040 Annual Meetings on Monday, Nov. 16, 2026, covering sustainable procurement and the financing of climate innovation. The discussions will examine how Singapore’s Green 100 national movement can encourage businesses to recognise and reward supplier sustainability performance, and how different sources of capital can work together to finance climate innovation from early-stage development through to commercial scale. Both sessions take place in Roundtable Room 4 under the event theme Shaping Tomorrow’s Innovation and form part of the wider Insights2040 programme.<\/p>\n

First on the schedule is “Industry Meets Policy: Scaling Sustainable Procurement Nationwide,” which runs from 10:15 to 11:45 a.m. Singapore time. The discussion will address the differing sustainability requirements and incentives faced by suppliers, and explore how public and private sector buyers can better recognise sustainability performance.<\/p>\n

The sustainable procurement roundtable puts Singapore’s Green 100 National Movement, launched by the Council for a Competitive Climate Transition, at its centre, giving policymakers and enterprise buyers a shared reference point to translate supplier sustainability performance into real business opportunities.<\/p>\n

Speakers:<\/strong><\/p>\n

– Lim Tuang Liang, Government Chief Sustainability Officer, Ministry of Sustainability & Environment<\/p>\n

– Guojian Ou, DVP, Sustainability, Singapore Post<\/p>\n

– Jeremy Jayden, Assistant Director, Procurement, Millennium Hotels & Resorts<\/p>\n

– Dr Ooi Shu Geok Louis, CEO, LMS Compliance Ltd<\/p>\n

– Moderator: Cherine Fok, Partner, ESG Consulting and Partner-in-Charge, “Our Impact Plan,” KPMG in Singapore<\/p>\n

A second roundtable, “Connecting the Capital Stack: Financing Climate Innovation from First Risk to Scale,” follows from 12:15 to 1:45 p.m. in the same room. This climate innovation financing roundtable examines why promising climate solutions often stall between early-stage piloting and commercial scale-up, and how blending different layers of capital, from early higher-risk funding to growth-stage finance, can carry innovation across that gap.<\/p>\n

Speakers:<\/strong><\/p>\n

– Andy San, Managing Director, CCX Green Finance International Limited<\/p>\n

– Davina Ho, Director (Interim), Investor Practice, AIGCC<\/p>\n

– Jonathan Hannam, Managing Director, Taronga Group<\/p>\n

Supplier readiness remains uneven at the smaller end of Singapore’s value chains.<\/p>\n

A 2025 study by Gprnt and PwC Singapore, supported by the Singapore Business Federation and the Sustainability Alliance, found that only one in four of 560 SMEs surveyed across 19 industries had started their sustainability initiatives, according to the SME Sustainability Barometer<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Launched in May 2026 by the Council for a Competitive Climate Transition (C3T), Green 100 is a national movement mobilising enterprises and SMEs to accelerate sustainability across supply chains. Powered by Gprnt’s digital platform, the movement enables SMEs to disclose their sustainability performance and gain recognition from enterprise buyers.<\/p>\n

Both roundtables are listed on the Insights2040 Annual Meetings agenda, which carries full session details and speaker line-ups.<\/p>\n
