The Biodiversity Pulse for Southeast Asia
2024-03-04 16:00 - 17:30 (Asia/Shanghai) | 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.

Pioneering AI Governance: Unveiling Singapore's Model Framework
2024-04-02 09:00 - 11:30 | Singapore
A novel governance framework for generative artificial intelligence (AI) has been introduced by Singapore, with an invitation for international feedback. The Model AI Governance Framework for Generative AI (MGF-GenAI) extends beyond the 2019 framework, which focused solely on traditional AI, reflecting the evolving landscape of generative AI.
The collaborative effort between the AI Verify Foundation and the Infocomm Media Development Authority (IMDA) underscores Singapore’s commitment to contributing significantly to the global discourse surrounding AI governance.
Minister for Communications and Information, Josephine Teo emphasised the need for a global perspective, stating that AI governance transcends national boundaries. The launch of the updated framework at the World Economic Forum in Davos, Switzerland, signifies Singapore’s commitment to fostering international collaboration and enrichment of the ongoing global conversation on AI governance.
The MGF-GenAI is anticipated to be finalized by mid-2024.
This sharing session aims to elucidate Singapore’s pioneering framework, offering clarity on its innovative approach and providing insights into the direction of progress.
Besides the proposed Model AI Governance Framework for Generative AI, Lee Wan Sie will also share on AI Verify – IMDA’s governance testing framework and software toolkit.

Decarbonisation of Supply Chain & Tour of the DHL Innovation Center
2024-04-11 08:30 - 12:00 | Singapore
The maritime, aviation and logistics industries represent the backbone of global trade. Together they account for more than 20% of global greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions and are therefore facing pressing challenges related to sustainability all along their supply chains. This event aims to bring together industry leaders and experts to discuss and strategise ways to accelerate the adoption of green fuels and sustainable practices in supply chains, especially the challenging area of Scope 3 emissions, which constitutes a significant proportion of a company’s carbon footprint but often remains unaddressed due to its complex, interconnected nature.

Embedding Reduction of E-Waste in the Manufacturing Process: Harvesting for Reuse
2024-04-16 09:00 - 11:00 | Singapore
The escalating annual generation of waste electrical and electronic equipment (e-waste) in the European Union (EU) and Singapore has emerged as a critical concern, representing one of the fastest-growing waste streams. This category encompasses a diverse array of devices, ranging from mobile phones, computers, and televisions to medical devices and photovoltaic panels.
E-waste, characterised by a complex mixture of materials, including hazardous substances, poses substantial environmental and health risks. Furthermore, contemporary electronics harbour rare and expensive resources, including critical raw materials, which could be salvaged through efficient recycling and re-use practices.
This panel discussion seeks to underscore the urgency of enhancing the collection, treatment, and recycling of electrical and electronic equipment at the end of their life cycle, aligning with the overarching goal of transitioning towards a circular economy.
In Singapore, the National Environment Agency (NEA) enforces e-waste management guided by the Resource Sustainability Act (RSA). ALBA E-waste Smart Recycling Pte Ltd is the designated Producer Responsibility Scheme (PRS) Operator, overseeing consumer Electronic and Electrical Equipment (EEE) waste. Regulations such as the Waste Electrical and Electronic Equipment Directive (WEEE Directive), also in the EU, mandate the separate collection and proper treatment of e-waste, prescribing targets for its collection, recovery, and recycling.
During this event, participants will gain insights into e-waste management regulations from Singapore’s leading authorities in the field. The event offers a unique platform for attendees to hear firsthand from companies actively addressing the e-waste challenge. Furthermore, it serves as a forum to explore opportunities and strategies for increasing proper disposal practices.

Corporate Philanthropy: Embracing Needs-based Initiatives for Lasting Impact
2024-04-17 08:30 - 23:00
Corporate philanthropy can be significant in fostering positive societal change. It’s important for corporations to acknowledge the diverse needs present in our communities and tailor their contributions accordingly, rather than merely following trends. This can prevent certain causes from being overly funded at the expense of others, ensuring a fairer distribution of resources and combating inequalities.
Our panel discussion aims to shed light on the importance of aligning corporate giving with societal needs, urging companies to actively engage in addressing pressing issues. By adopting a needs-based approach to philanthropy, businesses not only fulfill their social responsibility but also open doors to various benefits and opportunities.
During our upcoming event, participants will delve into the advantages and opportunities that arise when businesses prioritise support for critical social initiatives.
Join us in exploring how corporations can make a meaningful impact by addressing the urgent needs of our communities.

The Energy Transition in Singapore – Way Forward & Financing a More Sustainable Power Sector
2024-04-18 08:30 - 10:30 | Singapore
The power sector in Singapore accounts for about 40% of the country’s carbon emissions. In light of Singapore’s 2050 Net Zero Target, reducing the power sector’s emissions will be critical to achieve this goal. However, this does not come without challenges. Singapore will still need to maintain a secure, reliable and sustainable power system in an increasingly unpredictable geopolitical environment. Additionally, mobilising around $3.5 trillion a year of capital investment to achieve a net-zero economy between now and 2050 won’t come without its risks.
