A Practical Climate Action Workshop: From Boundaries, to Targets, to Action

This brisk, hands-on workshop moves from what Singapore stakeholders expect now to the practical steps teams must take to make progress on climate action. We’ll confirm organisational and operational boundaries, map Scopes 1, 2, and 3, with a focused exercise to scope Scope 3 for an SME, then set credible targets using the official SBTi Excel tool. We conclude by translating targets into action through the use of reduction strategy use cases, so every participant leaves with a completed boundary worksheet and guidance on how to set targets.

Workshop Agenda:

• Introduction to B Lab’s Climate Action Impact Topic

The B Lab Singapore team will provide a brief overview of the Climate Action Impact Topic, the subrequirements, terms and definitions guide, and interoperability guide.

The Evercomm team will then lead the following segments:

• Introduction to Current Reporting Realities for Companies in Singapore

We begin with a short scene-setter on current reporting realities in Singapore, focusing on what regulators, investors, and large buyers expect. The aim is to give participants a clear sense of how ISSB-aligned disclosures, board oversight, and basic assurance expectations translate into day-to-day reporting choices. This will ground teh the rest of the session in practical application rather than theoretical concepts.

• Defining Organisational and Operational Boundaries

Participants confirm whether to use equity share or control, set their base year, and decide which entities, sites, and joint ventures are in scope. By the end of this segment, each team completes a boundary worksheet that they can drop straight into internal reporting packs and supplier guidance.

• Scope 1, 2, and 3 Introduction with Scope 3 Focus

With boundaries locked, we cover Scope 1, Scope 2, and Scope 3, with deliberate emphasis on Scope 3 because it drives the most scrutiny for SMEs. We map the fifteen categories, explain what is typically material by sector, and complete a hands-on scoping exercise. Teams leave with a prioritised list of Scope 3 categories, a simple activity-data checklist, and clear notes on where transparent proxies are acceptable while better data is built.

• Sustainability Targets

Next, we introduce target types so that ambition is credible and aligned. We explain near-term targets under SBTi, net-zero framing, the role of market- versus location-based electricity, and when a Scope 3 engagement target is necessary for SMEs. This provides participants the vocabulary to discuss commitments with management and customers without over-promising.

We then run an SBTi target-setting lab. Using the official Excel tool, participants enter baseline data, select parameters, and generate a first pass at near-term targets. We highlight common pitfalls, such as inconsistent boundaries, double counting, and unrealistic growth assumptions, and ensure each team saves a working file they can refine after the workshop.

• Reduction Strategy

Finally, we translate targets into action through reduction strategy use cases. We demonstrate how to build a twelve-month slate across energy, processes, and logistics, quantify tonnes of CO₂e reduced, cost and payback. We will also link measures to grants or green financing where relevant. Each team drafts two or three practical actions for assigned use cases.

Evercomm is a Singapore-based climate-tech company that helps organisations measure, manage and reduce carbon with audit-ready accuracy. Our platforms—NXMap for reporting and verification, NXOps for data operations, and NXPlan for reduction planning—turn messy, multi-site data into credible disclosures and decision-ready roadmaps aligned to the GHG Protocol, ISSB, GRI and PCAF. We work across Asia with SMEs and listed companies, banks and public agencies, blending software, advisory and partnerships to move clients from baselines to financed, measurable reductions.
