Sembcorp Industries Ltd is a state-owned energy and urban development company based in Singapore, focusing on a diverse range of sectors including infrastructure, marine engineering, and urban solutions. The company has adopted a "Brown to Green" transformation strategy aimed at achieving net-zero emissions by 2050, emphasizing renewable energy technologies such as solar, wind, and battery storage (source: nextgeninvestors.substack.com).

The company also engages in urban development, transforming raw land into industrial parks and sustainable communities, catering to markets across Southeast Asia, the Middle East, China, India, and the UK (source: nextgeninvestors.substack.com).

The company has also seen a strategic shift with the demerger of its marine division in 2020, allowing it to focus more on its core energy and urban development sectors (source: wikipedia.org).

The company has committed S$700 million for investments from 2024 to 2028 to build land banks and aims to triple its renewable capacity to 25GW by 2028 (source: nextgeninvestors.substack.com). Additionally, Sembcorp is targeting to increase sustainable solutions to account for 70% of group net profit by 2025, up from 40% in 2020, with plans to triple land sales for urban developments to 500 hectares by 2025 (source: nextgeninvestors.substack.com). While specific acquisitions or mergers have not been detailed, the company continues to leverage its partnership with State Power Investment Corporation Limited (SPIC) for renewable energy projects, including the ongoing solar project in Oman (source: nextgeninvestors.substack.com).
