NetZeroHub.SG also features a Resource Portal, which provides a repository of thought leadership articles, practical toolkits, case studies, and directory of training programmes and solution providers to help businesses decarbonise. Its unique features include:

• Plan - Many businesses, especially small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs), lack capability and capacity to embark on decarbonisation. Even though information exists online, the resources are not organised sequentially, making it difficult for businesses to come up with a structure to plan their decarbonisation journey. NetZeroHub.SG provides step-by-step guidance to help Singapore businesses make sense of the existing ecosystem, with a focus on empowering them to develop practical plans to reduce emissions.

• Learn - Sustainability-related information is fragmented and hosted across multiple websites, making it less convenient and even confusing for users to refer. The portal aggregates and curates resources from different organisations into one single site to enhance convenience of users. It only features those which are relevant to Singapore businesses (compared to using a general online search which may yield resources which are not specific to Singapore).

• Connect - It serves as a first-stop for businesses embarking on decarbonisation, especially those who may be faced with a paradox of choice when identifying solutions (e.g. digital carbon accounting calculators or sustainability reporting platforms). Despite spending much time and effort, businesses may still end up with solutions that are less suitable for their needs (e.g. too complex, too costly, or not robust enough). The portal guides businesses to identify the most suitable one for their needs based on criteria such as budget, company size, function, etc.

The Resource Portal is a joint initiative with Sustainability Alliance (SA), which was founded in October 2022 by Singapore Chinese Chamber of Commerce and Industry (SCCCI), Sustainable Energy Association of Singapore (SEAS), and SGTech. The close collaboration between SBF and SA reflects the commitment by various trade associations and chambers in Singapore to unite to better organise existing resources, prevent duplicative efforts, and support Singapore businesses with their net zero transition. SA comprises trade associations from diverse sectors, which would allow initiatives with SBF to become available to companies from a wide spectrum of industries. 

The Resource Portal is free to access via https://netzerohub.sg and is designed for all businesses in Singapore regardless of size, sector or decarbonisation maturity. SBF and its partners are committed to maintain the accuracy and timeliness of information, as well as actively develop new features to meet the evolving needs of businesses. SBF and the Sustainability Alliance will regularly seek feedback from the community to improve and shape the future of the platform to ensure it remains a relevant and up-to-date resource for businesses.
