SMF’s Chief Sustainability Officer-as-a-Service

We embed sustainability consultants directly into your business to assess where you stand, build a roadmap, train your team, and connect you to the ecosystem partners needed to deliver real change.

A dedicated sustainability function, delivered as a service

From your first materiality assessment to a fully resourced roadmap, we work alongside your team to close the gap between commitment and execution, building internal capability so sustainability does not stay dependent on outside help.

It’s designed for businesses that know sustainability matters but don’t have the in-house expertise, time, or systems to act on it confidently.

Built for businesses at every stage of the sustainability journey

For Companies Starting Out

New to sustainability and need a structured way to begin. CSOaaS gives you a clear baseline, a practical roadmap and the training to move forward without guesswork.

Mid-sized Companies Scaling ESG

Already taking action but struggling to scale. We help you formalise strategy, embed sustainability across operations and align with the targets your customers are asking about.

Large Enterprises Preparing to Report

Facing SGX, CSRD or supplier disclosure requirements. We help you build reporting-ready systems, capture carbon data and meet regulatory deadlines with confidence.

Why Act Now?

Three forces reshaping how manufacturers compete

Customer Pressure

Buyers want sustainable suppliers. Help your customers hit their own targets, win loyalty and attract new business with credible action.

Regulatory Pressure

Mandatory reporting is here. SGX climate disclosures from FY25, EU CSRD, and China’s National ETS are reshaping compliance expectations.

The Capability Gap

Sustainability intent is rising, but many SMEs are still at the early stage of action and reporting. Companies that build capability now will be better prepared for customers, tenders and supply chain expectations.

A structured four-step journey, fully supported

CSOaaS follows a proven path from awareness to action, with SMF consultants alongside your team at every stage.

Companies completing the programme have a direct pathway towards the G.E.M or G.E.B Mark certification

Our Case Studies

Singapore manufacturers turning sustainability into business advantage

How Fei Siong Group Scaled Sustainability Across Its F&B Outlets

Fei Siong Group, with over 150 F&B outlets, joined SMF’s CSOaaS programme (facilitated by OCBC) to scale sustainability across its operations. In five months, it earned G.E.M Bronze Certification, cut energy use, strengthened ESG reporting, and unlocked access to green financing.

Pacific Packaging's Green Push: Embracing Sustainability from the Ground Up

Pacific Packaging, maker of Lacy’s food packaging, joined SMF’s CSOaaS programme to align with Singapore’s Green Plan 2030. It has since trained 30% of staff in sustainability, launched its EcoLacy’s biodegradable line, and partnered with KP Films on recyclable Infinity Trays to replace Styrofoam.
