Thought Leadership | Board Governance & ESG Sustainability

The 2022 Sustainability Board Report recommends that companies increase their sustainability engagement with diversity, education and self-reflection.

The fight against climate change has never been more urgent. Between 2011 and 2020, average global temperatures were roughly 1.1°C higher than those between 1850 and 1900—and the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) estimates that 1.07°C of this is due to human activities.

Board members across Singapore’s leading institutions reflect on the strategic, ethical, and societal implications of AI—and what it means for leadership, governance, and talent in a rapidly evolving world.

We believe that a sustainable world starts from within. Deep self-reflection about who we are as humans and as leaders, as well as a commitment to action are essential for a more sustainable world. Our purpose is “Leadership for a Better World.” We help major organizations transform in a world that is calling out for action. However, long-term systemic change cannot happen without a collective change in mindset—understanding the role we all play in creating a better future. As a Firm, we are on this journey, too. You can learn about our progress in our Sustainable Impact Report, where we share our values, our vision, and our commitment to change going forward.

We recently gathered board members for an online session, where they shared insights on how they are shaping strategy, engaging with the board, and ensuring sustainability remains a key driver of long-term value creation for their companies.

In an era of seismic shifts, from climate to technological upheavals, boards must do more than keep pace – they must lead the charge. However, future readiness doesn’t come from compliance or ticking boxes; it requires boards to step back regularly, scrutinise their decisions, and question how they arrived at them.

In today’s rapidly evolving business landscape, sustainability has progressed from being a mere buzzword to becoming a critical driver of success.

In our increasingly interconnected world, transport and logistics (T&L) play a vital role in ensuring the smooth flow of people, goods, and resources across vast distances.
