Quick answer: Clover Global has been awarded the ESBN Asia-Pacific Green Deal Silver Badge for FY2026. The badge, issued by the United Nations ESCAP Sustainable Business Network and powered by ESGpedia, recognises companies that measure their greenhouse-gas emissions and report ESG metrics aligned with stakeholder needs.
We are proud to be a Silver Badge Achiever of the ESCAP Sustainable Business Network Asia-Pacific Green Deal programme for FY2026. Powered by ESGpedia, the badge formalises our commitment to GHG measurement, transparent ESG reporting, and supplier engagement that Singapore corporate and government buyers increasingly expect.
Clover Global has been recognised as a Silver Badge Achiever of the ESBN Asia-Pacific Green Deal programme for FY2026. The award (Issue Date 14 April 2026, Serial Number ESBN_Silver26_0098) certifies our 2025 sustainability disclosures and recognises the practical work behind them.
For our Singapore SME, corporate, and government customers, the badge is a useful shorthand. It confirms that we measure our greenhouse-gas footprint, report ESG metrics in a comparable format, and participate in a regional sustainability programme that is independently verified rather than self-declared.
What the ESBN Green Deal actually is
The ESCAP Sustainable Business Network (ESBN) is a network of businesses convened by the United Nations Economic and Social Commission for Asia and the Pacific. The Asia-Pacific Green Deal programme is its sustainability arm, and the badge framework is delivered through ESGpedia, the regional ESG data platform run by STACS in Singapore.
There are three badge tiers (Bronze, Silver, Gold). Each tier represents a deeper level of disclosure: Bronze covers commitment, Silver requires GHG calculation and ESG reporting, and Gold layers on third-party assurance. The Silver tier is therefore the working benchmark for SMEs that have started measuring rather than estimating.
Why this matters for procurement teams in Singapore
Singapore government procurement is gradually folding sustainability into its evaluation criteria. GreenGov.SG targets, the Public Sector Sustainability Plan, and an increasing number of GeBIZ tenders ask suppliers to disclose Scope 1 and Scope 2 emissions or to demonstrate a recognised ESG framework participation. The ESBN Silver Badge is one of the credentials that satisfies that question without requiring a custom audit response.
On the corporate side, listed companies and MNCs operating in Singapore are working through Scope 3 supplier-emissions disclosure. When a procurement team asks Clover Global for our emissions intensity per dollar of spend, the ESBN process is what generates that number, and the badge is the third-party reference point that makes it usable in their own reporting.
Sustainability reporting is no longer a 'nice to have' for office-supplies procurement. The buyers we serve are being asked the same questions by their own boards and auditors, and we want to make their life easier, not harder.

What we actually report under the badge
The Silver tier requires us to calculate and disclose our annual greenhouse-gas emissions across Scope 1 (direct, e.g. delivery vehicles) and Scope 2 (purchased electricity at our PRIMAX warehouse and office), plus a base set of ESG metrics covering governance, waste, and human-resources policy.
- Scope 1: emissions from Clover Global owned or controlled assets, primarily delivery-fleet fuel consumption.
- Scope 2: emissions from purchased electricity at PRIMAX Industrial Estate (warehouse) and our administrative office.
- Resource use: paper, packaging, and water consumption across our operations.
- Workforce: equal-opportunity policy, training hours, occupational safety incidents.
- Governance: board oversight, anti-bribery policy, supplier code of conduct.
These figures are submitted through the ESGpedia platform and form the basis for the FY2027 reassessment. Year-on-year changes are visible to participating buyers, which is what makes the framework useful as a procurement screen.
What changes for Clover Global customers
In day-to-day terms, very little. Pricing, lead times, and product availability are unaffected. What changes is the answer to a specific procurement question. When a buyer asks whether we have a recognised sustainability framework, the answer is now Yes, here is the badge and the ESGpedia profile to verify it.
Corporate accounts can request a copy of our latest ESG disclosure pack through their account manager or via the corporate quote and account form. Government buyers procuring under GeBIZ panel agreements can reference our ESBN profile in their internal sustainability scoring. For new enquiries, the contact page reaches our team directly.
What is next
The Silver tier is a milestone, not a finish line. Our roadmap for FY2027 includes deeper Scope 3 supplier engagement (asking our distributor partners for the same emissions data we now publish), an internal target to cut warehouse electricity intensity by 12 percent, and exploration of the Gold tier requirements for FY2028.

Frequently asked questions
What is the ESBN Asia-Pacific Green Deal Silver Badge?
It is a sustainability recognition issued by the United Nations ESCAP Sustainable Business Network. The Silver tier confirms a company has calculated its greenhouse-gas emissions and reports ESG metrics through the ESGpedia platform. There are three tiers (Bronze, Silver, Gold). Silver is the working benchmark for SMEs that have started measuring rather than estimating.
Does the badge change Clover Global pricing or delivery times?
No. Pricing, GST treatment, and our standard next-business-day delivery across Singapore are unchanged. The badge is a sustainability disclosure credential, not a product or pricing change.
Can I cite the badge in my own company's procurement or sustainability report?
Yes. The badge is publicly recognised on the ESGpedia platform under our company profile, with serial number ESBN_Silver26_0098. Corporate procurement teams can reference this when reporting Scope 3 supplier-emissions or demonstrating a sustainability-screened supplier list.
Is Clover Global also GeBIZ-listed for government procurement?
Yes. We are a GeBIZ-registered supplier under UEN 201900180M. The ESBN badge is a separate credential that complements our GeBIZ listing, and government buyers can reference both in their evaluation criteria.
