SUMMARY:Sustainable Solutions Shaping the Construction Industry
DESCRIPTION:In line with Singapore’s pledge to achieve net-zero emissions\, the construction and materials sector is stepping up to play its part. \nThe objective of this panel discussion is to facilitate a collaborative dialogue on practical solutions and innovative approaches to advance sustainable construction practices\, aligning with Singapore’s broader sustainability goals. \nThe recent regulation from SGX recommends that climate reporting should be mandatory for all large companies. If implemented\, these will have an impact across the extensive supply chain that constitutes the built environment sector. \nTo discuss these issues and share her views on ESG reporting in the built environment sector\, we are privileged to have Ms Esther An\, Chief Sustainability Officer of City Developments Limited (CDL) and Committee Chair of the Singapore Reporting Advisory Council (SRAC). Ms An will elucidate CDL’s steadfast commitment to environmental sustainability\, as evidenced by its annual publication of the Integrated Sustainability Report. She will also share the implications that regulations are expected to have for the built environment sector and its supply chain. \nThe exchange of perspectives will also touch upon what general contractors and other industry participants are currently doing in the field of sustainability.

SUMMARY:EU-Singapore Dialogue: Facilitating Green & Sustainable Investments in Southeast Asia via the Global Gateway
DESCRIPTION:As countries in Southeast Asia continue to grow\, it is estimated that large investments of approximately US$210 billion a year through to 2030 will be needed to build sustainable infrastructure. Infrastructure investments in ASEAN are currently driven by governments\, and there is a need for greater private sector involvement and multilateral institutions to help bridge the infrastructure development gap. The challenges ahead to address climate change will require massive investments into clean and renewable energy\, climate resilient and sustainable cities\, and make a compelling case for a regional\, integrated approach in sustainable investment. To ensure long-term sustainable impact\, there must be a common understanding of what defines sustainability and the relevant environmental and social factors to consider. \nIn this context\, the EU launched its Global Gateway initiative in 2021\, a contribution to narrowing the global investment gap in infrastructure worldwide. It aims to mobilise up to €300 billion of investment funding from the EU and its member states\, and focuses on the digital sector\, healthcare\, transport\, climate and energy\, and education and research. The Global Gateway’s priorities in ASEAN are the green transition and sustainable connectivity\, with the EU aiming to mobilise €10 billion in investments specifically for these purposes. \nThe European Fund for Sustainable Development Plus (EFSD+) is the main financial tool to mobilise investments under the Global Gateway\, and ensures worldwide coverage for blending\, guarantees and other financial operations. It also raises financial resources for sustainable development from the private sector for inclusive economic development. \nAs a highly-developed city-state\, Singapore has experience in funding infrastructure projects through private-public partnerships\, and as such is well-positioned as a hub for infrastructure financing. It has developed a robust infrastructure ecosystem\, bringing together developers\, master planners\, financiers\, professional services and other supporting services. Many Singapore companies (both private and government-linked) have world-renowned expertise in areas such as project structuring\, management\, financing and investment\, and have a good understanding of regional markets\, and thus are well-placed to work with partners like the EU to serve Asia’s infrastructure needs and unlock the region’s infrastructure potential. The government has also set up Infrastructure Asia (InfraAsia)\, to serve as a facilitation office in supporting Asia’s social and economic growth through infrastructure development. \nBeyond infrastructure\, there are several areas where Singapore and Team Europe could cooperate under the Global Gateway to engage with Southeast Asia\, for example\, to develop sustainable and liveable cities\, provide sustainable finance and promote sustainability standards\, invest in climate mitigation and adaptation and other green investments\, and to promote connectivity within the region. \nThis EU-Singapore Dialogue intends to present the Global Gateway approach and priorities under the Southeast Asia context\, provide the case for sustainable and responsible investments\, and explore the opportunities available for the private and institutional actors.

SUMMARY:The EU Circular Economy Action Plan: Insights & Significance for the Southeast Asian Region
DESCRIPTION:Traditionally\, the global economy has been linear – take\, make\, dispose. However it is reaching its limits and is placing excessive pressure on the environment and jeopardising finite natural resources. Hence\, a global transition to a carbon-neutral\, resource-efficient circular economy is key to fighting climate change\, protecting biodiversity loss while addressing important social needs. \nThe initial Circular Economy Action Plan of the EU\, introduced in 2015\, has exerted a significant influence on a global scale. Its vision to shift towards a circular economy will alleviate strain on natural resources\, foster sustainable growth and boost job creation. This endeavor is also set to expedite the EU’s ambitious goal of achieving climate neutrality by 2050 while simultaneously curbing biodiversity loss.
