The Singapore University of Social Sciences (SUSS) signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) with leading professional services firm, RSM, to empower small- and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) in embracing sustainability and integrating environmental, social and governance (ESG) practices into their business models and operations.
The MOU signing ceremony was witnessed by guest of honour, Grace Fu, Minister for Sustainability and the Environment.
As ESG issues continue to shape how organisations are perceived by the public in today’s global landscape, while bringing tangible benefits to businesses, it is becoming increasingly critical for Singapore SMEs to pursue sustainable transformation.
Led by the Centre of Excellence for Social Good (CESG) at SUSS, the strategic partnership will see SUSS and RSM working together to encourage SMEs to prioritise sustainability while addressing the key challenges they face. This includes a series of planned initiatives across three key areas.
