Governance and Sustainability (CGS) is housed at the National University of Singapore Business School. Our research empowers leaders, organisations and regulators in making informed decisions related to corporate sustainability and corporate governance. We bridge knowledge with industry needs, enabling organisations in the Asia Pacific, including ASEAN and Singapore, to go further in their sustainability journeys. &nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Our flagship initiatives include the Singapore Governance and Transparency Index, the Sustainability Reporting Review, and the ASEAN Corporate Governance Scorecard (ACGS). These initiatives assess corporate disclosures on the Singapore Exchange (SGX). For ACGS, CGS is appointed by the Monetary Authority of Singapore to be the assessor for listed companies in Singapore.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Formerly known as the Centre for Governance, Institutions and Organisations, CGS has developed into a trusted hub for sustainability and governance insights. It has been commissioned by other organisations to research topics such as biodiversity and nature, climate change, digital economies, online marketing platforms and leadership diversity. In 2014, CGS embarked on sustainability reporting research of Singapore-listed companies. The scope was subsequently expanded to the ASEAN and Asia-Pacific regions. The year 2024 became a milestone, marking CGS\u2019 10 years in sustainability research.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>As a knowledge partner for awards and competitions, CGS helps define criteria that recognise leading companies in sustainability and governance.&nbsp;One involvement is the Sustainability Impact Awards, a partnership with The Business Times and the United Overseas Bank. We also work with the Securities Investors Association (Singapore) and the Singapore Institute of Directors for certain categories under their Investors\u2019 Choice Awards and the Singapore Corporate Awards respectively.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Supported by industry partners, we offer specialised programmes such as the \u201cTee Up Capital-NUS CGS Programme in Governance and Sustainability\u201d and the \u201cNKH-CGS Masterclasses in Governance and Sustainability\u201d.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>We continue to engage policymakers, companies and the public through conferences and workshops. In recent years, CGS has garnered over 500 media mentions annually, with coverage from prominent outlets such as AFP, AP, BBC, Bloomberg, China Daily, China Central Television, CNA, CNN, Nikkei Asia, The Straits Times, The Washington Post and Xinhua News.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Through industry-centric research, CGS aims to illuminate the path towards sustainable corporate practices and governance excellence.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:40px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:40px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<section class=\"focus alignfull mt-5 mt-lg-6 aos-init aos-animate\" data-aos=\"fade-right\" data-aos-duration=\"800\">\n  <!-- LEFT IMAGE-->\n  <div class=\"row g-0 align-items-center\">\n    <div class=\"col-lg-7\">\n      <img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/bschool.nus.edu.sg\/cgs\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/145\/2024\/07\/Lawrence-Loh-2024-1024x586.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"img-fluid focus-img\">\n    <\/div>\n    <div class=\"col-lg-4\">\n      <div class=\"focus-right p-3 p-lg-5 bg-opblue text-white\">\n        \n        <div><p><span style=\"font-size: 22px\"><br \/>\n&#8220;The Centre is doing world-changing work.
