SMU and VIETSTAR to boost energy industry execs sustainability capabilities

Participants will gain knowledge from three countries that led the green energy transition.

Singapore Management University (SMU) and the VIETSTAR Training & Consulting JSC have signed an agreement to develop a programme that will enhance sustainable leadership capabilities of energy industry leaders in the ASEAN.

The ASEAN Executive Sustainability Programme for the Energy Sector (AESP) will serve as a platform for participants to explore, analyse, and evaluate strategic decisions related to energy transition, green finance, and green technology.

“This programme will provide energy industry leaders in the region with the knowledge and tools to build sustainable development strategies, and to meet community and investor expectations, while seizing opportunities from the global green economic development trend,” said VSBF Director and Executive Director of Executive Development Eddie Tritton.

He said the programme will allow business leaders to share their experiences on global governance, which is a solution to maintain sustainable green growth.

One of the highlights of AESP is learning and experiencing real-world applications in Singapore, South Korea, and Vietnam which pioneered the transition to green energy and sustainable development in ASEAN.

This will be supported by companies, such as SK Group from South Korea, Sembcorp Industries from Singapore, and GE Vernova from the US.

AESP “builds upon the achievements and mission of the Vietnam-Singapore Board Forum (VSBF),” the parties said.

The VSBF was organised following an agreement signed by SMU and VIETSTAR in February 2022. This is a forum for senior leaders to share experiences and initiatives on topics ranging from energy transition and sustainable growth to corporate governance practices.

The people you want to reach are already in this room.

Every quarter, SBR lands on the desks of the founders, CFOs, and directors running Asia's most consequential companies. Every day, they open our newsletter and read our website. It's a room that took twenty years to build — and it's the one most of our partners are trying to get into.

The good news is that the door is open. We work with companies on thought leadership articles, sponsored content, industry summits across Southeast Asia, regional awards programmes, podcasts, and media placements in print and digital. The shape of the right partnership depends on what you're trying to do, which is why we'd rather start with a conversation than send a rate card.

If you have something this room should know about, tell us. We'll tell you honestly whether we can help, and how.

No rate cards until we understand the brief. It's a better use of everyone's time.
