Data Protection Notice
For Customers of SusTek Pte. Ltd.
Revised on: 8 February 2026 (with updated revision to PDPA 2021)
This Data Protection Notice ("Notice") sets out the basis which SusTek Pte. Ltd. ("we", "us", or "our") may collect, use, disclose or otherwise process personal data of our customers in accordance with the Personal Data Protection Act ("PDPA"). This Notice applies to personal data in our possession or under our control, including personal data in the possession of organisations which we have engaged to collect, use, disclose or process personal data for our purposes.
Organisation Overview
SusTek engineers trusted sustainability data systems and credibility engines for reporting and sustainability finance. In a world full of bold sustainability claims, trust is the real scarce resource. We design and build the credibility infrastructure that turns sustainability data into finance-grade evidence—so capital can move with confidence toward real environmental impact.
What We Do
- Data Engineering: We build robust ESG data foundations—pipelines, data lakes, and quality controls—that ensure sustainability data is accurate, traceable, and decision-ready.
- Reporting & Compliance: We automate GHG inventories and deliver audit-ready reporting aligned with ISSB/IFRS, GRI, and TCFD—reducing compliance friction while increasing confidence.
- Credibility Engine: Our proprietary credibility engines assess data integrity, detect fraud risk, and generate finance-grade credibility signals that investors and partners can rely on.
