Gprnt Makes ESG Reporting as Easy as a Bank Transfer for Singapore SMEs

Singapore-based startup Gprnt is revolutionizing ESG reporting by making it as simple as initiating a bank transfer.

Backed by the Monetary Authority of Singapore (MAS), Gprnt enables small and medium enterprises (SMEs) to generate free emissions reports in under 10 minutes.

A Game-Changer for Sustainability

The platform automates calculations for Scope 1 and Scope 2 emissions using routine business data like utility bills and invoices.

Originating from MAS's Project Greenprint in 2023, Gprnt evolved into an independent digital utility under the Global Finance and Technology Network.

In May 2025, it secured US$4.62 million in seed funding and launched the world's first nationwide ESG utility with partners like Ant International and MUFG Bank.

Why SMEs Need This Now

With rising global regulations like ISSB standards, SMEs often face high costs for compliance, but Gprnt eliminates the need for expensive consultants.

For everyday business owners, this means easily tracking their carbon footprint to attract green loans and investors without technical expertise.

Singapore's push positions it as Asia's green finance hub, potentially reducing SME compliance burdens by up to 90% in time and cost.

One non-obvious angle: Gprnt's marketplace connects SMEs to verified climate solutions, creating a new ecosystem for scalable decarbonization.

Looking forward, as net-zero deadlines loom, platforms like Gprnt could inspire national models worldwide, empowering millions of small firms in the green transition.

This matters to the layman because sustainable practices are no longer elite—they're accessible tools for business survival and growth.
