2026 Responsible Sourcing and Climate Performance Risk Outlook

For businesses operating in Singapore and across the ASEAN region, the landscape of risk has fundamentally changed. It is no longer enough to set net-zero targets or publish responsible sourcing policies; the market now demands proof.

The 2026 Responsible Sourcing and Climate Performance Risk Outlook reveals a critical credibility gap emerging in global supply chains. While nearly 90% of organizations now have carbon reduction targets, over half of these remain unvalidated by external frameworks. Furthermore, with only 25% of businesses currently measuring Scope 3 emissions, many remain exposed to significant regulatory and reputational risks as transparency requirements tighten.

This report provides a frontline view of the challenges and opportunities for the year ahead, including:

• The Scope 3 Bottleneck: Why measurement remains the primary hurdle for global supply chains.
• The Integration Deficit: Why only 24% of organizations have aligned their climate and sourcing functions, and the risks this fragmentation creates.
• Physical Climate Realities: Addressing the 61% of supply chains already facing disruption from extreme weather events.
• Regulatory Readiness: Navigating the horizon scanning required for evolving mandates like CSDDD and CBAM.

In a high-velocity business environment, risk can no longer be managed in isolation. Download the full report to understand how to turn your sustainability commitments into a verifiable competitive advantage.
