The Biodiversity Pulse for Southeast Asia
2024-03-04 16:00 - 17:30 | Singapore
Climate related issues are front page news but there are several indications and trends that suggest that biodiversity is at a critical crossroads. The rate of biodiversity loss is accelerating, and urgent actions are required to assess potential risks to be managed and mitigated.
The introduction of the Task Force on Nature-related Financial Disclosures (TNFD) as a market-led initiative proves its relevance to financial institutions and corporations to take the ‘biodiversity pulse’ by understanding, assessing and disclosing their dependencies on nature, the impacts they have on nature, and the risks and opportunities they face from nature-related issues.
In this discussion, we bring together experts providing different perspectives and insights around research, initiatives and financing requirements for nature conservation, the development of new technologies and solutions to better understand and protect biodiversity.

Constructing Sustainability: Rethinking Construction for a Resilient Future
2024-03-13 18:30 - 20:30 | Singapore
The construction industry, a cornerstone of societal development, finds itself at a crossroads where progress comes at the expense of a substantial environmental footprint. Responsible for a staggering 40 percent of global CO2 emissions, the industry has high energy consumption with most of its heavy machinery and equipment still heavily leaning on fuel.
In this panel discussion, the concept of sustainable construction will be defined, emphasizing the imperative use of recyclable and renewable materials, while also examining strategies to minimise energy consumption and waste production in building projects.
Recognising that sustainable construction extends beyond project completion, the panel will delve into design considerations that minimise environmental impact throughout a building’s lifespan.
Furthermore, the panel will address waste management and pollution control, examining the generation of hazardous waste in construction and proposing effective waste disposal and management strategies to prevent pollution.
This panel discussion aims to foster a collaborative dialogue among industry experts, policymakers, and stakeholders to identify practical solutions and innovative approaches for promoting sustainable construction practices.
Join us in this conversation as we navigate the path toward a sustainable future, redefining the construction industry’s role in global environmental stewardship.

Navigating Upskilling in a Transforming World
2024-03-18 09:00 - 11:00 | Singapore
In the era of AI and digital transformation, it is important for leaders of global enterprises to adopt a strategic approach to enhance the skills of their workforce, thereby advancing digital maturity.
Leadership, spanning across general management and senior roles in all functions, confronts the challenge of making informed decisions about substantial investments in Digital & Tech initiatives. As leaders, they are at the forefront of these decisions which involve assessing and prioritising digital initiatives worthy of investment. Equally vital is the internal dissemination of this digital vision. Leaders need to be effective advocates, onboarding the entire organisation and ensuring that every member comprehends the strategic value of digital initiatives. It fosters a culture of innovation, collaboration, and adaptability, essential elements for navigating the challenges of today’s digital age.
Simultaneously, the broader workforce, including staff, and junior to middle management across all functions, are required to adapt to the transitioning role of technology such as upskilling in their respective domains and equipping them to harness new technologies, digital solutions, and AI in their daily tasks.
Furthermore, professionals within the Digital & Tech function of a corporate entity demand continuous training opportunities to stay abreast of the rapidly evolving and changing digital landscape within their expertise.
Given these challenges, corporations must adopt a holistic approach to digital upskilling across all levels and functions within their organisation. This comprehensive strategy ensures a uniform understanding and cultivates the necessary digital maturity at the senior management level, empowering them to make informed decisions, particularly regarding investments in digital initiatives.
