Filipino SMEs can use ESGpedia’s carbon calculator to receive an automated carbon calculation and greater insights into their greenhouse gas emissions.

As a result, small and medium Pinoy businesses can start their ESG reporting immediately.

Moreover, it helps them comply with local and international requirements. 

Emma C. Asusano, Director of DTI Bureau of Small and Medium Enterprise Development, said:

“As Filipino SMEs adopt sustainable practices, the SPARK Template on the ESGpedia platform enhances transparency and simplifies ESG reporting.”

“This integration boosts access to sustainable financing, attracts responsible investors, and strengthens SMEs’ resilience and competitiveness…”

“…aligning them with global standards and advancing the country’s sustainable development goals.” 

The latest integration will test the digitalized SPARK Template’s SME applications.
