“You cannot create experience. You must undergo it." --French philosopher Albert Camus This sentiment rings true for organisations pursuing sustainability--only those that implement it can share their stories. The above words prefaced the 2014 report "Accountability for A Sustainable Future: Sustainability Reporting in Singapore among Singapore Exchange Mainboard Listed Companies 2013". A collaboration among Thomas Thomas, then Founding Executive Director of Singapore Compact for CSR, Prof Lawrence Loh and his team, the report ignited the journey of the NUS Centre for Governance and Sustainability (CGS) in corporate sustainability research. Thank you to everyone who has been with us. Here’s to many more years of impactful research and collaboration! ASEAN CSR Network NUS Business School #10YearsOfExcellence #Governance #Sustainability

It was dedication that sealed the deal. NUS Centre for Governance and Sustainability (CGS) has been dedicated to advancing corporate sustainability research over the past decade, earning a reputation as a pioneer in this area. "It is this outstanding reputation that made CGS our partner of choice for the seminal study “Climate Reporting in ASEAN: State of Corporate Practice” (2022)," says Dr Allinnettes Adigue, Director, ASEAN Network, Global Reporting Initiative (GRI). GRI ASEAN and NUS CGS further solidified the partnership with an MOU signing in 2023, setting the path to promote corporate governance, sustainability and reporting in the region through joint events and programmes.
