A Forward Looking Institution
The reputation and character of Temasek are shaped by our values and conduct as we strive to do right, as individuals and as a team.
At Temasek, we seek to make a difference and to actively shape a better tomorrow for our present generation and for generations to come.
Integrity and Respect for others form the foundation of our character. Meritocracy and Excellence are our guideposts to bring out the best in our people. Teamwork and Trust enable us to deliver with discipline and agility. These MERITT values shape our forward looking stance.
We seek sustainable solutions for, and engage our stakeholders and partners on, sustainability issues.
As a generational investor committed to delivering sustainable value over the long term, sustainability is at the core of everything we do.
Being a responsible investor, we look for opportunities to invest in companies addressing global sustainability challenges and we incorporate environmental, social and governance considerations into our investment decision-making and management.
As an owner, we work to understand the impact of our portfolio companies. We encourage companies to adopt policies and practices that safeguard and enhance long term sustainability of their business and the wider community.
As an institution, we seek to build a sustainable organisation by developing people, capabilities and processes around sustainability and good governance.
As a steward, we establish partnerships and seed endowments to build resilience in our communities, and support the sharing of best practices and trends around sustainability and governance.
We advocate good governance and uphold the Santiago Principles for sovereign investments.
We believe that dialogue and robust exchanges of information, best practices and ideas between stakeholders from the public and private sectors are critical enablers of sustainable growth.
We support the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals, which aim to promote inclusive prosperity while protecting our planet. The decisions we make today are growing more urgent in the face of evidence indicating a narrow window to make changes to bring about a more sustainable world. We continue to foster dialogues and are driving more innovative solutions to build an abc World of active economies, beautiful societies and a clean Earth, as a common good.
We seek sustainable solutions for, and engage our stakeholders and partners on, sustainability issues. One of our key engagement platforms is our annual Ecosperity conference which has been held since 2014. It gathers global business leaders, policymakers, investors, entrepreneurs and academics to exchange views and share best practices on sustainable development as well as to drive action to achieve a clean and green future.
We continue to promote corporate stewardship. In June this year, about 200 leaders from the public and private sectors, representing 20 countries, gathered at the annual Stewardship Asia Roundtable, to share perspectives on incorporating sustainability and people-focused considerations into their business goals.
We advocate good governance and uphold the Santiago Principles for sovereign investments. We supported the International Monetary Fund initiative to frame these principles in 2008.
We look across generations as a steward, investing with tomorrow in mind. Our endowment gifts are structured on the basis of good governance and sustainability. These support programmes ranging from education and healthcare, to community building and research; from public service capabilities, to sustainability initiatives.
