Driving sustainable transformations For driving sustainable transformations , Terence emphasises : “ We take a very industry-centric approach to deploy solutions , taking into account the maturity of corporate ’ s netzero journey and scaling through award-winning proprietary or partnership platforms .”
DBS recognises the sustainable transformation of corporates is a continuum and stretched over multiple years and hence its approach to solutioning considers sector specific needs , the ESG maturity of the corporates and its upstream and downstream value chain partners .
It views solutions for transition as a three-stages approach to corporate ESG initiatives , focusing on supplier engagement and improvement .
At the Measurement stage where corporates drive advocacy , awareness and seek to engage measurement providers , a solution embedding enablement cost helps defray upfront payments across several suppliers .
At the Improvement phase , corporates expect suppliers to make efficiency improvements via tracking performance across various ESG KPIs agreed in the value chain . A solution that provides favourable commercial terms for transactional trade encourages suppliers to undertake small scale efficiency upgrades .
