WASHINGTON — December 9, 2024 | Verra, the world’s leading standards setter for climate action and sustainable development, is proud to announce its membership in the Singapore Sustainable Finance Association (SSFA), marking a significant step forward in its commitment to advancing climate action in Southeast Asia.
The SSFA, established to position Singapore as a trusted and inclusive hub for sustainable finance, brings together stakeholders across the financial and real economy sectors to address the region’s sustainability challenges.
Through this partnership, Verra will share its expertise with SSFA members and continue to advocate for integrity, transparency, and impact in carbon markets. Verra looks forward to gaining industry insights and pursuing partnerships that bolster regional efforts to combat climate change and protect biodiversity.

The SSFA focuses on developing and promoting best practices, facilitating cross-sector collaboration, and supporting sustainable economic growth while enabling Singapore’s emergence as a global thought leader in sustainable finance.
Verra’s engagement will initially focus on three of the association’s priority workstreams: carbon markets, transition finance, and natural capital and biodiversity.
