Our Way of Life

At Temasek, you are encouraged to bring fresh ideas, think independently, challenge assumptions, and learn from people with different perspectives and experiences. We believe this leads to better decisions and stronger outcomes.

We are committed to building a high-performing and inclusive environment where both what you achieve and how you achieve it matter. Our culture is guided by our MERITT values — Meritocracy, Excellence, Respect, Integrity, Teamwork, and Trust — which shape how we work, collaborate, and make decisions every day.

Our Talent Framework

We believe learning never stops.

Through our 4E talent development framework — Experience, Exposure, Education, and Enrichment — we support our people's growth at every stage of their careers.

Our Remuneration Philosophy

Our approach to remuneration reflects our long-term orientation and ownership mindset.

We balance rewards for short-term performance and long-term value creation, recognising both individual and collective contributions. Deferred incentives and clawback mechanisms reinforce accountability, stewardship, and responsible decision-making.

By aligning the interests of our people with those of our shareholder, we encourage an ownership mindset and a focus on sustainable outcomes for future generations.
