    SINGAPORE-LISTED companies have started to file sustainability reports under the new comply-or-explain guidelines - but for some, it's been a steep learning curve as they grapple with unfamiliarity and issues like costs and staff buy-in.

    The Singapore Exchange's guidelines for sustainability reporting apply to listed companies on a "comply or explain" basis from the financial year ending on, or after 31 Dec 2017, with reports to be published from 2018.
