ONERHT Foundation is set to host the 8th edition of the Greening ASEAN Initiatives and Leadership (GAIL) Forum on 22 July 2025 at Suntec Singapore Convention & Exhibition Centre. The event will bring together business leaders, policymakers, and sustainability experts to discuss industry, business, and regulatory perspectives on climate change mitigation and adaptation in the ASEAN region. The forum will feature a keynote address by Low Yen Ling, Senior Minister of State for the Ministry of Culture, Community and Youth, and the Ministry of Trade and Industry.
The theme for this year’s forum is “Industry, Business, and Regulatory Perspectives on Climate Change Mitigation and Adaptation.” Attendees can expect a half-day programme filled with keynotes and discussions that address the challenges and opportunities presented by sustainability imperatives, climate regulations, and evolving business models. The event aims to foster collaboration across sectors and build capacity for lasting environmental impact.
Chng LiLing, Director of RHT GRACE Institute, emphasised the importance of sustainability in business strategy, stating, “Sustainability has moved to the centre of business strategy. It now underpins long-term value creation and corporate resilience.” Kaylee Kwok, Chairman of ONERHT Foundation, highlighted the forum’s role in equipping leaders with tools to navigate a rapidly evolving landscape.
Key highlights include a fireside chat on “The Future of Green Leadership in ASEAN,” a presentation on “Navigating ASEAN’s Green Transition: Legal and Policy Pathways,” and discussions on developing and investing in carbon markets in Asia. These sessions will feature distinguished leaders and speakers in sustainability and governance.
Since its inception in 2018, the GAIL Forum has become a pivotal platform for advancing climate resilience and sustainable business practices across ASEAN. By convening industry leaders and policymakers, the forum equips businesses with the knowledge and strategies to embed sustainability at the core of their operations.
