The business challenge of the 21st century is to create sustainable value by integrating the needs of stakeholders, society, future generations and the environment. At Stewardship Asia Centre (SAC), we believe by activating the Stewardship Leadership Compass, companies can do well by doing good. So what is stewardship? Stewardship is “creating value in such a way that companies take their full responsibility towards society and commit to being a steward of the resources of our planet, thus preserving them for further generations,” Professor Arnoud De Meyer, SAC’s Chairman and Professor Emeritus of Singapore Management University, explained. Chan Wai Ching, SAC’s board director and Temasek’s Chief Corporate Officer, stressed that stewardship is everyone’s responsibility. “Only when everyone adopts an ownership mentality can we see transformative change.” To find out more about the Stewardship Leadership Compass and how Steward Leadership can help your company, tune in as SAC’s CEO Rajeev Peshawaria and Veena Nair, our research editor, discussed further. Established by Temasek, SAC works with organisations around the world to build their corporate stewardship culture.
