Our Company

Mission

We provide trusted assurance to unlock and channel sustainable finance, driving a resilient and prosperous future for our clients and the planet.

Headquartered in Singapore, CEAN Global is the first independent assurance agency to bring global expertise to Bangladesh's emerging sustainable finance market. We bridge the trust gap between investors and enterprises by ensuring every sustainable claim is backed by strong, transparent evidence. Our purpose is to make sustainable finance work in practice, accelerating Bangladesh's transition to a resilient, low-carbon economy.

The Sustainability Opportunity

The world of finance is changing. Sustainable assets are now at the forefront of a multi-trillion-dollar market, with global investors eager to back projects with strong ESG credentials. In 2024 alone, sustainable bond issuance, which includes green bonds, surpassed $1 trillion.

But for businesses in Bangladesh, a country on the front lines of climate change, a critical challenge remains: how to prove your projects are truly sustainable to a global audience. The lack of credible, third-party verification that meets international expectations has created a trust gap, making it difficult to attract the global investment needed to grow.

CEAN Global bridges that gap. We provide impartial, evidence-based assurance that gives investors the confidence they need to act. Our work unlocks capital for sustainable projects, helping organizations accelerate their transition to a low-carbon economy. By working with us, you not only meet global standards but also gain a powerful competitive advantage.

Our Expertise

We align international best practices and rigorous standards with local market realities. By doing so, we translate complex global taxonomies into a practical framework that Bangladeshi organizations can implement. This dual expertise in local context and global requirements is our unique value proposition. Our expertise covers:

Assurance Framework

Our robust approach is built on four pillars—Environment, Social, Governance, and Climate—each with clear criteria to evaluate alignment at multiple levels, from entities to financial instruments. This systematic approach, which incorporates established principles like the ICMA Green Bond and Social Bond Principles and the Climate Bonds Standard, ensures our assurance services are comprehensive and comparable across various industries and markets.

Empowering Local Capacity

We are committed to building a sustainable finance ecosystem, not just providing a service. We develop unified sustainability standards for Bangladesh and license qualified local auditors to ensure our framework is consistently and impartially applied. This approach builds local capacity, guaranteeing long-term competence and a robust foundation for a resilient, low-carbon economy.
