📈 TechNeura Partners with SAM Corporate to Launch SAMESG® Platform in Sri Lanka
Colombo-headquartered TechNeura Labs has signed a strategic partnership with global ESG and fintech advisory firm SAM Corporate. TechNeura becomes the in-country delivery partner for SAMESG®, an end-to-end Environmental, Social, and Governance (ESG) technology ecosystem, assisting local firms ahead of mandatory regulatory deadlines. • Regulatory Timeline: The launch comes as CA Sri Lanka adopts SLFRS S1 and SLFRS S2 sustainability disclosure standards (aligned with global ISSB standards). Compliance is already live for the largest listed entities and widens to all Main Board listed companies on the CSE this year, stretching through 2030. • Platform & Features: SAMESG® automates Scope 1, 2, and 3 Greenhouse Gas (GHG) accounting and supports double materiality. It is deployed via two tiers: _SAMESG® Enterprise_ (for listed entities and large conglomerates with AI data capture and audit workflows) and _SAMESG® Lite_ (a low-cost setup for mid-market firms and SMEs using automated emission calculations). • Target Sectors: The platform will initially serve high-impact industries including: • Banking, Financial Services & Insurance (BFSI) for climate-risk testing and CBSL expectations. • Apparel & textiles, rubber, and food manufacturers exposed to EU CBAM and buyer Scope 3 audits. • Tea, plantations, and agriculture requiring land-use disclosure and traceability. • Hospitality, retail, telco, and logistics managing energy footprints. • Economic Value: Transitioning away from disconnected spreadsheets to audit-grade technology is projected to drive operational cost reductions of 5% to 15% through waste and energy analytics, while securing export competitiveness and access to green capital.
