At the Core: Business Sustainability and Resilience

Sustainability at the Core is one of the four key pillars of our T2030 strategy. It anchors our commitment to embed sustainability into everything we do — from our mandate to deliver sustainable returns over the long term, to our strategy of how we operate as an institution, shape our portfolio, and engage our portfolio companies to build sustainable businesses.

We believe our long-term success as an investor and institution is contingent on the presence of thriving businesses and economies, cohesive societies and communities, and resilient people and planet.

Our ability to play our part by aligning our investment activities and institutional practices towards protecting our planet, uplifting our communities, and fostering an inclusive environment for our employees and partners is rooted in the strength and resilience of our own organisation and portfolio.

It is important for us and our portfolio companies to have sustainable business models focused on continuous transformation and excellence, taking into account matters that affect long-term financial sustainability and operational effectiveness. This includes advancing good capital management, technology adoption, and taking a continued focus on organisational development. These efforts encompass skilling, upskilling, and reskilling of employees, and the development of management bench strength, equipping our workforce to adapt and thrive in an ever-evolving business landscape.

Financial, organisational, and portfolio resilience enables us to adopt a long-term horizon in capital deployment and contribute to protecting our planet, uplifting communities, and building inclusive societies across generations. This includes our support for the Temasek non-profit ecosystem and other community initiatives.

As we invest for the long term, we embed principles of sustainability, inclusivity, and good governance in our processes, and anchor ourselves with a strong set of values.
