In my last four years of going through the Sustainability Report, I've learnt the most with much clarity from the robust discussion I had with Shan Manli and Jeffrey Zhang, sustainability consultants at RHT Green, this year. Personally, I've also come to appreciate sustainability even more with a greater awareness towards climate change and the need for more actions by the current generation to adopt in order for the future generations to enjoy Mother Earth. The developments in the past year especially pertaining to the weather phenomenon taking place all over the world (and Singapore is not spared either), have woken me up to the reality that as an individual if I do not do something now for my family, then it would be very selfish of me just to think of the present and let the future generation take care of themselves. It is this innate feeling that drives this passion in me towards sustainable living not, only for me but for the community and business as well.

I hope going forward, my colleagues within the Chasen Group would begin to see the light on sustainability and the importance of taking steps to rise up to a sustainable business future. In the near term, it would be my responsibility, with the support of my team members to further the sustainability agenda to the BOD, senior management and business units’ leaders. Hopefully, the sustainability message will be cascaded down to the office staff and general workers and over time, slowly and progressively, everyone shall embrace sustainability knowing that it is important for them and the future generations to come.
