Sustainability and Finance synthesized!
8 November
Not too long ago, being ‘sustainable’ implied adopting a few charities,
launching a paper saving initiative and using energy efficient light bulbs.
Today, sustainability has come to include ethics and good business
practices, community involvement, eco-efficiency of offices and of course
product development. That this is a hot topic, also shows from the
“Singapore International Energy Week 2010” to be held 27 Oct - 4 Nov,
especially dedicated to this topic.
Rabobank and asset finance subsidiary De Lage Landen identified the
increasing significance of corporate social responsibility and sustainability
in an early stage and aligned their product development efforts with this
irrepressible trend.
Join us on November 8th at 19.30 pm at the Juliana Lounge, Hollandse
Club 22, Camden Park in Singapore, to discuss how this impacts all of our
businesses.
Key note speakers John Sparta (De Lage Landen’s Vice President of
Global CSR Business Development) and Jotdeep Singh (Rabobank’s Head
Renewable Energy and Infrastructure Asia) will share with you the results
of their efforts to synthesize sustainability and finance.
Program:
19.30 : Arrive at Juliana Lounge, Hollandse Club, welcome drinks
20.00 : Presentation and discussion
21.30 : End
Please register at www.adb.org.sg/events by 5 th of November.
