About Us

Company Profile

Established in 2009, Eco-Business is Asia Pacific’s largest media and business intelligence organisation dedicated to sustainable development and ESG performance.

We are the only organisation in the region with a news, advisory and innovation business that spans across the entire sustainability ecosystem.

Our award-winning news platform delivers high quality trusted content to a senior audience around the world, while our ESG Intelligence team provides affordable advisory and training services to a wide range of organisations.

MNCs, SMEs, governments, multilateral institutes and civic society organisations across the world tap on our suite of thought leadership services across multimedia platforms, as well as advisory services, training and development.

We also match capital to the best innovations that solve specific sustainability challenges and accelerate the time it takes for ideas to reach commercial markets.

We are headquartered in Singapore, with a presence in China, India, Malaysia, the Philippines, Indonesia, and correspondents in major cities around the world.

Mission

We are a sustainable social enterprise that advocates for sustainable development. Our readership is global, while our editorial coverage spans the Asia Pacific. We are guided by the sole objective of generating positive impact for society and the environment.

We own and create thought-leadership platforms which inform policymaking, improve business practices and foster collaboration among different sectors.

We remain committed to help businesses, governments, NGOs, research institutions and think tanks get their stories published and read by a wider audience by providing platforms for them to share ideas and best practices, advance public awareness and stimulate debate about sustainable development.

In 2019, Eco-Business launched a separate non-profit EB Impact, which is dedicated to delivering training and programmes that advance the UN Sustainable Development Goals in the Asia Pacific Region.

Eco-Business supports EB Impact in all its programmes and is formally committed to donate the equivalent of 5 per cent or more of its time through pro-bono services to EB Impact and its partners.
