Sustainability in Business: Trend or Necessity? [Chills 196 Sponsored by UOB]

We explore the topic of sustainability and how SMEs approach this theme. We sat down with business leaders from different industries to discuss their perspectives, as well as opportunities and challenges surrounding sustainability.Beyond reducing their carbon footprints, we also touched on long-term business growth.

You'll hear their candid reflections on how their sustainability journeys began, whether initially driven by opportunities or external factors. We also address a common concern –how can businesses balance sustainability efforts with profitability?

Gather insights from UOB's recent study on rising costs, market expansion, and more. Take away practical advice, tools and resources available to SMEs to get started on building sustainable businesses. We also discuss what sustainability reporting and planning for the future could mean for your company in the years ahead.
