Durapower Group’s Energy Storage Solutions for a Greener Economy
The International Renewable Energy Agency (IRENA) estimated that 90% of the world’s electricity can and should come from renewable energy by 2050.
Driven by the net-zero push, regions like Asia-Pacific are rapidly expanding clean energy – from solar and wind to advanced tech like batteries and green hydrogen.
Playing a key role in this transition, Durapower Group is headquartered in Singapore, with products and battery solutions for commercial applications being deployed to 25 countries globally across over 70 cities. Durapower Group designs, manufactures, and integrates advanced lithium-ion battery systems for commercial applications such as e-bus, e-truck, marine applications, and port equipment.
At the same time, Durapower Group aims to ensure that each aspect of the battery lifecycle is managed with a focus on sustainability and adherence to best in class industry practices, thereby bringing a circular economy into fruition.
Operationally, Durapower Group has adopted ESGpedia’s digital platform to advance its sustainability transformation and effectively engage its extensive supply chain and manufacturing sites across China, Thailand, and the Netherlands, to achieve heightened competitiveness and full value chain decarbonisation.
Utilising ESGpedia’s digital platform, Durapower Group has managed to implement robust systems to calculate, track, and monitor its Scope 1 to 3 greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions across its global operations, while aligning its sustainability reporting with international standards, overall achieving improved operational efficiency.
The Group’s strategic approach serves as a compelling use case for businesses seeking to embed sustainability at scale across global operations.
Navigating complexities in GHG calculations and sustainability reporting
Before adopting ESGpedia’s digital platform, Durapower Group relied heavily on manual processes – particularly Excel spreadsheets – to track and input GHG emissions data. With operations spanning multiple countries, this approach was resource-intensive and time-consuming, requiring significant effort to consolidate, verify, and monitor large volumes of data.
The process often involves multiple suppliers, making it harder to assess the full carbon footprint for its entire value chain.

Inconsistent data from global suppliers, varying in format, units, and methodologies, further complicated Scope 3 emissions calculations and ESG disclosures.
Additionally, differing reporting requirements across jurisdictions introduced uncertainty, making it challenging to ensure the accuracy and comprehensiveness of the Group’s sustainability reporting.
Scaling renewable energy impact with digitalised GHG emissions calculation and ESG reporting
Accounting for Durapower Group’s global supply chain emissions
Durapower Group leveraged ESGpedia’s carbon calculator, built in accordance with the GHG Protocol and ISO 14064-1 methodology, to accurately and efficiently measure its Scope 1, 2, and 3 GHG emissions.
By tapping on ESGpedia’s extensive base of localised emission factors, Durapower Group accurately tracked emissions across its manufacturing sites in China and Thailand, thereby gaining a clear and comprehensive overview of its cross-border supply chain emissions.
The platform ensures the seamless and accurate conversion of operational data into actionable GHG emissions metrics.

With enhanced aggregated data and dashboards, Durapower Group is now equipped to design more targeted and data-driven decarbonisation strategies, while identifying cost-optimisation opportunities and key areas for operational improvement.
Driving Scope 3 emissions visibility with digital supplier engagement
Implementing ESGpedia’s Supplier Engagement Module has enabled Durapower to significantly streamline the management of its complex, cross-border supply chains, gaining end-to-end visibility of full value chain emissions.
Through the Co-branded Portal, durapower.esgpedia.io, Durapower was able to streamline the process of managing multiple streams of ESG data, and actively engage with its suppliers, enabling seamless data collection, GHG emissions calculation, and ongoing monitoring.
Collecting and establishing supply chain data was instrumental in facilitating comprehensive Scope 3 emissions accounting and full value chain decarbonisation – a key milestone in the Group’s sustainability journey.
Complying with global ESG disclosure requirements with confidence
Durapower Group has embarked on sustainability reporting utilising the ESGpedia platform, which has resulted in the generation of a holistic, stakeholder-ready report aligned with the Global Reporting Initiative (GRI) standards.
With ESGpedia’s digital platform supporting various international reporting frameworks, the team has gained greater visibility on GRI standards requirements, enabling them to identify and establish key Environmental, Social, and Governance (ESG) metrics – such as emissions performance, workforce diversity, governance practices, and more – with higher precision and alignment.
Durapower’s Group’s GRI-aligned sustainability report was built with verified and established ESG datapoints, allowing the Group to credibly communicate its ESG progress and commitment to stakeholders, while ensuring compliance with relevant regulatory requirements.
In the upcoming financial year, the Group plans to take its ESG compliance journey to the next level by incorporating International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS) S1 and S2 – also known as International Sustainability Standards Board (ISSB) – in its sustainability disclosures. Durapower Group strongly believes that transparency drives trust, which is why it will continue to employ industry leading practices to measure and disclose its ESG performance.
“We are looking to embark on IFRS S1 and S2-aligned reporting in the upcoming year, to align with the global convergence towards ISSB reporting and further improve our business competitiveness.”
