Carbon and GHG Management
This programme provides participants with essential skills to measure, report, and manage greenhouse gas emissions, supporting organizations in achieving their carbon reduction and sustainability goals.
The shift to a low-carbon economy is not just the future—it’s happening now. Equip your business with the tools to measure, monitor, and reduce your emissions with LowCarbonSG, and stay ahead of the curve.
LowCarbonSG is a capability-building programme designed to empower local businesses to take control of their carbon emissions. Through this programme, companies can expect to gain the knowledge and resources needed to track, manage, and actively reduce their carbon footprint.
Businesses that successfully complete the programme and meet the criteria will be awarded the prestigious LowCarbonSG Participant Logo—signifying their commitment to sustainability and leadership in decarbonisation.
Led by CPLC Singapore, the decarbonisation arm of UNGCNS, and supported by the NEA and Enterprise Singapore, LowCarbonSG is the definitive step towards building a resilient, future-ready business in a low-carbon world.
Receive personalised support from UNGCNS‑CPLC Singapore to complete CERT and connect with solution providers to help implement sustainable practices and reduce emissions effectively.

Complete the LowCarbonSG-CPLC Singapore Pledge form.
Attend either a 1-day carbon workshop or 2-day carbon course, where you will learn how to use the Carbon & Emissions Recording Tool (CERT) to measure and monitor carbon emissions.
After attending the above course, your company will be provided access to CERT to get started on tracking your emissions.
Complete and submit CERT to UNGCNS-CPLC Singapore at required intervals.
Reduce emissions where possible, and agree to share one’s success story as a case study.

Your company can begin tracking its emissions using the UNGCNS-CPLC Singapore’s Carbon & 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 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. Once the data is validated, the company will be awarded the LowCarbonSG Participant Logo.
Companies will then continue to track their emissions for the next 12-month period. At the end of the 24-month period, they will submit a second set of data covering the preceding 12 months. After validation, they will receive an updated LowCarbonSG Logo reflecting the year of submission.Â
Thereafter, 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 LowCarbonSG Logo.
To demonstrate an ongoing commitment to climate action, companies are encouraged to make annual submissions to receive updated logos each year.
To obtain the LowCarbonSG 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 logo in recognition of its efforts to build a habit of emissions consciousness and work towards reducing emissions.
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.Â
If your company needs support, you can reach out to the UNGCNS-CPLC Singapore team for assistance. Our team 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 strongly encouraged to take active steps to reduce its emissions.
Companies that achieve at least 5% year-on-year reductions (Scope 1 and Scope 2) in both absolute emissions and emissions intensity by revenue will be awarded the Gold (Leader) LowCarbonSG logo.
Companies that achieve at least 5% year-on-year reductions (Scope 1 and Scope 2) in either absolute emissions or emissions intensity by revenue will be awarded the Silver (Practitioner) LowCarbonSG logo.
Companies that do not meet these criteria, but are actively tracking and working towards reducing their emissions, will receive the Teal Blue (Participant) LowCarbonSG logo.Â
Each year, top-performing companies in emissions reduction will also be considered for the prestigious annual LowCarbonSG Awards. In addition, selected success stories may be featured in our publications, including the annual Singapore Business Carbon Report.
Your company is encouraged to remain in the programme to continue tracking emissions and actively identify new opportunities for further reduction. We also recommend progressing toward more comprehensive carbon footprint reporting and adopting ambitious sustainability goals, such as Science-Based Targets (SBTs).
Our Carbon & Emissions Recording Tool (CERT) aligns with international standards like the Greenhouse Gas Protocol, making it an excellent platform for companies embarking on their decarbonisation journey. Through the LowCarbonSG programme, your company will gain valuable insights into carbon reporting, supporting a smooth transition toward advanced sustainability frameworks and long-term climate goals.
This programme provides participants with essential skills to measure, report, and manage greenhouse gas emissions, supporting organizations in achieving their carbon reduction and sustainability goals.
This tool is a comprehensive resource that helps companies evaluate their environmental risks and compliance, guiding them towards responsible, sustainable practices that align with international standards.
CPLC Singapore is a dedicated initiative that fosters collaboration among businesses to implement effective carbon pricing strategies, helping drive climate action and transition towards a low-carbon economy
