CEO Roundtable Event

The CEO Roundtable event by UN Global Compact Network Singapore is a premier platform for corporate dialogue and collaboration that brings together CEOs and top executives from various industries to discuss strategic issues related to sustainability and corporate responsibility. This exclusive event aims to foster dialogue, share insights, and promote collaborative action among business leaders committed to advancing the United Nations’ Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs).

CEO Roundtable 2024 

We welcomed more than 40 influential business leaders from a variety of industries at our 9th UN GCNS CEO Roundtable 2024 to drive commitments towards the Forward Faster initiative. The importance of working together was emphasised as the critical enabler to support our theme for the year: Forward Faster – Guiding Companies Towards Decisive Action for 2030.

Key Takeaways

  • Purpose-driven success: Align your organisation’s purpose with SDGs – success will then become a function of how well you can pursue your purpose
  • Tap into technological innovations: AI and machine learning can help to measure and reduce emissions efficiently along with utilising emerging sources of renewable energy to minimise carbon footprint
  • Financial institutes can help: Despite regulatory constraints, innovative financing solutions like joint ventures and blended financing are being used to support sustainable projects
  • Don’t neglect the ‘S’ in ESG: Focus on human rights and social conditions as ethical practices and corporate governance are fundamental to ensuring a just transition
  • Collaboration is key: Moving Forward Faster requires collaboration across supply chains and key ecosystem partners as working together is the only way to achieve the speed and scale of change needed for a sustainable future
