ERM, the world’s largest specialist sustainability consultancy, has announced the expansion of its Southeast Asia (SEA) hub in Singapore, in a move that will further strengthen its ability to advance the green economy and sustainability across Asia. Supported by the Singapore Economic Development Board (EDB), ERM’s expansion will help deepen its sustainability impact with leading organizations in the region.
The decision to establish the SEA Hub in Singapore highlights the city-state’s position as a key regional center with a vibrant ecosystem and demand for innovative sustainability solutions. With a strong pipeline of projects and growing interest in sustainability, the SEA Hub will serve as a focal point for ERM’s regional activities, enhancing its capacity to deliver cutting-edge solutions and services to clients across Asia.
The expansion will create up to 40 new roles, building capacity and capability across a number of sustainability imperatives, including New Energy, Integrated Environmental, Social, and Governance (ESG) Due Diligence, Monitoring, Reporting & Verification (MRV), and Sustainable Asset Retirement. Comprehensive training and mentoring programs will nurture local talent and help ensure a skilled workforce capable of driving sustainable development in the region.
Tom Reichert, Group CEO at ERM, expressed excitement about deepening the company’s roots in Singapore and contributing further to the region’s sustainable development goals. ERM’s purpose is to shape a sustainable future with the world’s leading organizations, and the expansion in Singapore will increase its impact in the region.
Lim Wey-Len, Executive Vice President of EDB, welcomed the expansion of ERM’s regional hub in Singapore, noting that it will deepen capabilities in areas such as carbon markets, the deployment of hydrogen as an alternative energy source, and the early decommissioning of coal plants. The partnership with ERM is expected to create new job opportunities in the sector and support the region’s decarbonization efforts.
