SMU CIRCLE - August 2021

 
Message from the Director
"Sustainability" and "Sustainable Living" are not buzz words that are in fashion or trendy in conversations, but ways of living that this world - our world - must embrace and adopt for our future. Now.
In this August edition of SMU CIRCLE, we bring you stories of some of our alumni who are deep in the sustainability space, bringing about real and meaningful change in their communities and areas of work, adopting practices that ensure a better tomorrow for generations to come. Our cover feature rightfully turns the spotlight on SMU as we must first "walk-the-talk". Get to know what your University is doing in its own sustainability journey, and the person - Mr Sundar Selvam, SMU Vice-President for Campus Infrastructure and Services - leading the charge.
Read on, and may you be inspired by the stories that we hope will sustain you!
Stay well. Stay safe. Stay connected.

Corporate Sustainability - For love or beyond?
While corporate growth and profitability are important, so is corporate sustainability. It recognises the need to pursue long-term growth, in harmony with people, society and the environment.
The UN has since defined its Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) into three pillars that helps achieve a better and more sustainable future for all by 2030.
