We celebrated an inspiring evening on October 9th, marking 10 years of the Singapore Apex Corporate Sustainability Awards and 20 years of the UN Global Compact Network Singapore. The Gala Dinner and Awards Ceremony honoured the leaders, innovators, and changemakers who are actively driving corporate sustainability forward, reinforcing the commitment to move #ForwardFaster
Highlights from the Evening:
- Mindset Shift in Leadership: Guest of Honour Mr. Lim Boon Heng stressed the need for a shift “from asking how much profit can I make, to how much more impact can I create.”
- Prosperity and Health are Inseparable: The importance of enterprises understanding that the prosperity of families and communities is intrinsically linked to the health of the planet and their business.
- ASEAN Collaboration is Essential: A clear call for regional partnership to close the gap between sustainability aspirations and tangible actions, particularly in renewable energy.
- Awards are a Milestone, Not the Endpoint: Past winners emphasised that the Award is a commitment to a long-term sustainability journey, not a final destination.
- Recognition Scales Impact: The award recognition acts as a springboard for winners to accelerate and scale their impact through innovation, leadership, and collaboration.
- Community and Mentorship: The growing #UNGCNSAPEXAlumni network is crucial for fostering persistence, providing mentorship, and strengthening connections among current and past champions.
