Iām new to investing. Have a lump sum of around 20k after setting aside emergency funds. As I value environment highly, I hope to put my money into sustainable and green companies in Singapore. Are there any ways to do so?

Stocks & Bonds
You can choose to invest in green chip stocks and/or bonds. This can allow more investments in technology to improve the environment (e.g. sustainable sources of energy). You can also choose to not invest in companies with high levels of pollution, e.g. O&G sectors.
Funds
If you're looking at funds, similarly, you can invest in green energy or even water exchange traded funds. Majority of these funds are domiciled in the US and there will be withholding tax, therefore it is good to research if there are such funds domiciled in a country with no/low tax. If you do not like investing in the energy sector, you can consider comparing ETFs by their carbon footprint, emissions per unit of investment (https://fossilfreefunds.org). You can then choose a fund with pollution level at something you're comfortable with.
