Reach out to our CPLC Team to get started
Your company can begin tracking its emissions using CPLC Singapore’s Carbon and Emissions Recording Tool (CERT). Developed with input from the National Environment Agency (NEA), CERT features inbuilt formulas that enable companies to easily calculate their emissions based on energy consumption, waste generation, and transportation data.
To qualify for the LowCarbonSG Participant Logo, companies must attend either a 1-day carbon workshop or a 2-day carbon course to build the necessary capabilities for submitting CERT at the required intervals. For the first submission, companies will establish a 12-month emissions baseline using historical data. Once the data input is validated by the CPLC Singapore team, the company will be awarded the LowCarbonSG Participant Logo.
Over the next 12 months, companies are expected to monitor their emissions and are encouraged to take steps to reduce them. Companies that continue to measure and report their emissions may continue using the Participant Logo.
At the end of the 24-month period, companies will submit a second set of data covering the past 12 months. After validation, they will receive an updated Participant Logo reflecting the year of submission. Companies that have successfully reduced their emissions will be eligible for consideration for the prestigious LowCarbonSG Awards.
To demonstrate an ongoing commitment to sustainability, companies are encouraged to make annual submissions to receive updated logos each year.
To obtain the LowCarbonSG Participant Logo, a company must consistently track its carbon emissions using CERT. Once the data entered in CERT has been validated, the company will be awarded the LowCarbonSG Participant Logo in recognition of its efforts to build a habit of emissions-consciousness.
CERT is user-friendly and requires readily available data, typically found in documents such as electricity bills and fuel invoices. With these documents on hand, completing CERT should take no more than one to two hours each month.
If your company needs support, you can reach out to the CPLC Singapore team for assistance. The CPLC Singapore team also conducts regular carbon management workshops to help companies use CERT effectively.
LowCarbonSG is an inclusive programme that welcomes all companies registered in Singapore, especially those taking their first steps in decarbonisation.
The Carbon & Emissions Recording Tool (CERT) is a robust tool designed to help companies of varying sizes and sectors track their Scopes 1, 2 and 3 emissions with ease.
Beyond tracking emissions, your company is highly encouraged to take active steps to reduce them. Companies that successfully achieve emissions reductions will be eligible for consideration for the prestigious LowCarbonSG Awards. In addition, success stories may be featured in our publications, including the annual Carbon Report.
After graduating from LowCarbonSG, your company is encouraged to continue tracking emissions and actively seek opportunities for further reduction. We also recommend advancing to more comprehensive carbon footprint reporting and adopting ambitious sustainability targets, such as Science-Based Targets (SBTs).
Our Carbon & Emissions Recording Tool (CERT) aligns with international standards like the Greenhouse Gas Protocol, making it ideal for companies taking their first steps in their decarbonization journey. Through the LowCarbonSG programme, your company will gain essential insights into carbon reporting, easing the transition toward more advanced sustainability frameworks.
