Ant International launches Programme Sirius for enhanced sustainability

The initiative is in line with the United Nations’ sustainable development goals.

Ant International, in partnership with Gprnt and the International Finance Corporation, has launched Programme Sirius to support micro, small, and medium-sized enterprises (MSMEs) in their transition towards sustainability.

The programme aims to support MSMEs operating on digital platforms by fostering an open dialogue that enables industry partners to exchange ideas on sustainability innovations and best practices.

The IFC, in partnership with Ant International, will develop a set of digital sustainability impact management toolkits in the next two years to improve MSMEs’ access to sustainable finance.

In addition, Gprnt, an initiative by the Monetary Authority of Singapore, will provide a technology-enabled reporting solution for MSMEs as part of the collaboration.

The technology aims to simplify sustainability disclosures against basic environmental, social, and governance (ESG) metrics.

The programme‘s launch was supported by 13 industry partners from 11 economies, including AlipayHK, ANEXT Bank, Bigpay, bKash, DANA, GCash, Hipay, Kakao Pay, MPay, TNG Digital, TossPay, TrueMoney, and Zalopay.

Lorem Ipsum is simply dummy text of the printing and typesetting industry.

Contrary to popular belief, Lorem Ipsum is not simply random text. It has roots in a piece of classical Latin literature from 45 BC, making it over 2000 years old. Richard McClintock, a Latin professor at Hampden-Sydney College in Virginia, looked up one of the more obscure Latin words, consectetur, from a Lorem Ipsum passage, and going through the cites of the word in classical literature, discovered the undoubtable source. Lorem Ipsum comes from sections 1.10.32 and 1.10.33 of "de Finibus Bonorum et Malorum" (The Extremes of Good and Evil) by Cicero, written in 45 BC. This book is a treatise on the theory of ethics, very popular during the Renaissance. The first line of Lorem Ipsum, "Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet..", comes from a line in section 1.10.32.
