New accreditation framework for directors to be launched

It will allow directors to have greater clarity on competencies in sustainability.

The Singapore Institute of Directors (SID) will be rolling out a new accreditation framework for directors to have greater clarity on digitisation and sustainability.

Deputy Prime Minister Lawrence Wong revealed this in a speech during the SID 25th anniversary commemorative event. He cited the three important considerations that boards should look at including talent, reducing carbon footprint, and technology investment.

“With this framework, directors will be able to better navigate the wide range of courses that are available to build their competencies. The framework will also provide a common standard for companies to assess directorship appointment,” said Wong.

He also disclosed that the SID is launching the “Governance for Good Alliance, to raise the profile of Singapore’s ecosystem of good governance and recognise those who have contributed invaluable resources to SID’s cause.”

“More stakeholders will join the Alliance and rally behind SID’s mission to uplift corporate governance, and good business decision-making, in Singapore,” said Wong.

Reaching the people who run Asia's businesses is harder than it used to be.

Inboxes are crowded. Attention is short. The executives you most want to reach — the founders, CFOs, and operators who actually move budgets — are the hardest to find through the usual channels. If you're building a company, a category, or a reputation, you already know this.

We've spent twenty years building the room they read. Singapore Business Review is where senior decision makers in Singapore and across Southeast Asia come for business coverage they can't get elsewhere — in print, online, and in person at the summits and roundtables we host across seven markets.

If you have something these readers should know about — a point of view worth publishing, a product worth their attention, an event worth their time — we'd like to hear what you're trying to do.
