Under the SAGE Programme, companies can select from three “plug and play” options of predefined, sector-specific SPTs to obtain sustainability-linked financing from UOB. These SPTs have also been validated by a Second Party Opinion partner, Environmental Resources Management, to ensure credibility and alignment with the globally recognised sustainability-linked loan principles.
UOB and Enterprise Singapore (EnterpriseSG) has launched the sustainability-linked advisory, grants and enablers (SAGE) programme targeted at small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs).
The programme aims to simplify sustainability-linked financing solutions for SMEs, providing preferential loan rates from UOB for participating SMEs that achieved pre-agreed sustainability performance targets (SPTs). It involves a collaboration with service partners CDP, Convene ESG, M1, Paia Consulting, PwC Singapore and TÜV SÜD.
