The Singapore Apex Corporate Sustainability Awards features three categories: "SustainableBusiness," "Sustainable Solutions," and "LowCarbonSG." In each category, 5 to 7 companies are nominated as finalists. Asuene APAC won the Singapore Apex Corporate Sustainability Award in the "Sustainable Solutions" category.

This award is given to solution providers that have contributed to advancing sustainability in society and businesses across the APAC region, particularly in Singapore. Asuene APAC has worked tirelessly to promote its cloud service "ASUENE," a carbon accounting platform, both domestically and regionally. The company’s efforts in promoting corporate decarbonization, along with its promising future potential, were key factors in receiving this honor.

At the award ceremony held at the One Farrer Hotel in Singapore, Masaaki Hamada, ManagingDirector of Asuene APAC, took the stage to receive the award from the Guest of Honor, Dr. Poh Koon Koh, Senior Minister of State for Sustainability and the Environment.

Asuene will continue to support global decarbonization and ESG management from our headquarters in Tokyo, our regional office in Singapore, and our base in the United States.

About the GCNS Summit

The GCNS Summit is an event organized by the Singapore chapter of UN Global Compact, focusing on corporate sustainability. This year marks the 16th edition of the summit, known as "GCNS Summit 2024."

Due to climate change and environmental degradation, there is a growing momentum for mandatory environmental, social, and governance (ESG) reporting, including the visualization of CO2 emissions. As a result, the role and responsibility of businesses are increasingly significant.
Achieving net-zero by 2050 requires a fair transition to more sustainable business models.

In this context, the GCNS Summit serves as a platform for meaningful dialogue, collaboration, and action to promote the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) in the Asia-Pacific region, emphasizing the urgency and commitment needed to achieve these goals.

Over the two-day event, influential figures in corporate sustainability from the APAC region, including the President of the UN Global Compact Network Singapore and other board members, delivered speeches and presentations. The summit also included the awarding ceremony for the "Singapore Apex Corporate Sustainability Awards," which Asuene APAC received.

"This award represents a significant milestone for Asuene APAC. The UNGC is one of the most prestigious international organizations globally, and its Singapore chapter, GCNS, undertakes a wide range of activities related to promoting SDGs in society and business, including awareness initiatives and talent development. GCNS holds considerable influence over national policies and the business community. Receiving the esteemed 'Singapore Apex Corporate Sustainability Awards' from GCNS will further enhance the trust and recognition of the Asuene APAC brand both domestically and regionally. I would like to express my heartfelt gratitude to our employees, clients, and partner companies who have trusted us and contributed to our growth."
