IOD International Trip 2017

Sunday 10 - Tuesday 12 September in Singapore

Attend Singapore IOD Flagship Conference “The Sustainability Imperative” and Visit Award Winning Companies

Overview

The Thai Institute of Directors Association (Thai IOD) has since 2015 organized annual international visits for a group of company directors who are members of the Thai Institute of Directors to learn and exchange views with international network of directors and experts on issues of business outlook, directorship and governance. Our destination this year is Singapore, a city state recognized for comparatively strong governance practice in Asia. We will attend the Singapore Institute of Directors (SID)’ flagship conference on “The Sustainability Imperative - A Multifaceted, Mind shifting Look at Money and Meaning in the New Capitalism” (Details of the conference agenda can be found in the attached file). Besides from attending the conference, we will take this opportunity to visit the top and award winning Singapore companies on good corporate governance.

About SID’s Conference

SID’s flagship conference has grown to be a much anticipated event for directors and corporate leaders to experience, network and learn on the latest megatrends and thinking to help their companies create value. The 2017 conference themed “The Sustainability Imperative” will push the boundaries further than previous conferences have.

Leaders and practitioners will share the multifaceted challenges of integrating sustainability with business strategy and execution, and the mindshift from just making money to making business meaningful. Those pushing the envelope for a new model of capitalism will discuss how practical and impactful some of the innovative approaches and hybrid organisations in this direction are.

More than just listening to international and local speakers share their perspectives, the event will be an experiential one, with on-the-ground realities of this emerging megatrend. Part of this will be through a “Global Realities Lunch” and a “Sustainability Showcase” where participants will be able to meet and interact with a spectrum of organisations from incumbents to startups and hybrid organisations, all responding to the call for a new capitalism.

In addition, the conference will launch a Guide on Sustainability for Boards, and the inaugural Singapore Sustainability Reporting Awards.
