ERM, the foremost sustainability consultancy globally, declares the enhancement of its Southeast Asia (SEA) hub located in Singapore, thereby fortifying its capacity to propel the green economy and sustainability initiatives throughout Asia. Facilitated by the Singapore Economic Development Board (EDB), ERM's expansion aims to augment its sustainability influence with premier organizations in the area.
Selecting Singapore as the location for the SEA Hub underscores the city-state's pivotal role as a central regional hub boasting a dynamic ecosystem and a pressing need for inventive sustainability remedies. Fueled by a robust lineup of projects and escalating enthusiasm for sustainability, the SEA Hub is poised to become ERM's central hub for regional endeavors, bolstering its ability to provide state-of-the-art solutions and services to clientele throughout Asia. Robust training and mentorship initiatives will cultivate local expertise, fostering a proficient workforce capable of steering sustainable development in the region.
ERM's expansion in Singapore will facilitate the extension of its vast expertise in collaborating with clients throughout the Asia Pacific region and worldwide on their decarbonization endeavors. Recent initiatives in this domain include aiding a substantial industrial cluster in formulating strategies to shift manufacturing towards renewable energy and green hydrogen, as well as assisting a major power company in devising a plan to phase out fossil fuel generators and substitute them with a combination of wind, solar, and battery storage solutions.
Tom Reichert, Group CEO at ERM, said, "We are excited to deepen our roots in Singapore and contribute even further to the region's sustainable development goals. ERM's purpose is shaping a sustainable future with the world's leading organizations. We are delighted that, with the support of the EDB, we are poised to increase our impact in the region with the aim of helping to deliver a more sustainable future for Asia".
Lim Wey-Len, Executive Vice President of EDB, said, "Singapore is home to a diverse ecosystem of carbon services companies shaping decarbonization efforts in Southeast Asia. We welcome the expansion of ERM's regional hub in Singapore, which will deepen our capabilities in areas such as carbon markets, the deployment of hydrogen as an alternative energy source, and the early decommissioning of coal plants. We look forward to partnering with ERM in their next phase of growth and creating new job opportunities in the sector".
