The ESG Reality Check: Data, Action, and Accountability

Environmental, Social, and Governance, or ESG, gets thrown around a lot. But for many businesses, it still feels confusing, costly, and out of reach. But what if ESG wasn’t just about ticking boxes to impress regulators? What if it could actually be a strategic advantage and technology made it practical?

We speak with Benjamin Soh, founder of ESGpedia, a platform born from fintech firm STACS that’s now helping businesses across the region turn ESG data into real action. From fund managers to regulators, they're working to make ESG less about talk, and more about doing.
