Singapore Management University (SMU) signed a Memorandum of Agreement (MoA) with VIETSTAR Training & Consulting JSC (Vietnam) on a new ASEAN Executive Sustainability Programme aimed at helping energy industry leaders and managers enhance their sustainable leadership capabilities.
The programme will give the energy industry professionals skills and tools to explore, analyse and evaluate strategic decisions related to energy transition, green finance, and green technology. The programme combines diverse learning methods, from theoretical foundations to case discussions led by a team of world-renowned faculty and experts in the fields of energy and sustainable development.
A highlight of the programme is the opportunity to learn and experience real-world applications in three pioneering countries in the region for green energy transition and sustainable development: Singapore, South Korea, and Vietnam. This is facilitated by support from leading global groups in the energy sector, such as SK Group (South Korea), Sembcorp Industries (Singapore), and GE Vernova (USA).
The signing of this strategic collaboration agreement between SMU and VIETSTAR (Vietnam) for AESP can be considered a pioneering step, aligned with the global trend of sustainable development and energy transition, particularly in the Asian region.
Commenting on the collaboration, Mr Eddie Tritton, Executive Director of Executive Development, SMU, said, “We are delighted to enhance our partnership with Vietstar in the area of enhancing sustainable leadership capabilities for energy industry leaders internationally. This programme will provide energy industry leaders in the region with the knowledge and tools to build sustainable development strategies, and to meet community and investor expectations while seizing opportunities from the global green economic development trend. Additionally, the programme will create a bridge for business leaders from different countries to share experiences on global governance – a solution to maintain sustainable green growth.”
