Comprehensive training and mentoring programs will nurture local talent and help to ensure a skilled workforce capable of driving sustainable development in the region.

The Singapore expansion plans will enable ERM to extend its extensive experience working with clients from across the Asia Pacific region, and globally, on their decarbonization journeys.

We welcome the expansion of ERM's regional hub in Singapore, which will deepen our capabilities in areas such as carbon markets, the deployment of hydrogen as an alternative energy source and the early decommissioning of coal plants. We look forward to partnering with ERM in their next phase of growth and creation of new job opportunities in the sector."
