Dr. Ben Caldecott is the first professor in sustainable finance at the University of Oxford.

DBS Group Holdings announced the appointment of Oxford Sustainability Finance Group founding director Dr. Ben Caldecott as a non-director member of its Board Sustainability Committee (BSC).

Caldecott is also the first-ever professor in sustainable finance at the University of Oxford, as the inaugural Lombard Odier Associate Professor of Sustainability.

I look forward to working with him as DBS pushes ahead with helping our clients transition to a lower-carbon economy and realising a sustainable future," said DBS CEO and BSC chair Piyush Gupta in a bourse statement.

A NOTE FROM SINGAPORE BUSINESS REVIEW

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.
