Farah’s appointment strengthens SJ Group’s engagement with global industry platforms, supporting clients in navigating evolving climate and sustainability requirements.
Farah expressed her commitment to advancing sustainable solutions, stating, “It is an honour to serve on the WorldGBC Board at a time when the built environment must respond decisively to climate challenges.” She emphasised SJ Group’s focus on aligning policy, investment, design, and delivery to achieve sustainable, investable, and scalable outcomes.
Joining Farah on the Board is Hugh Lim, re-elected for a new term, reflecting Singapore’s growing prominence in global climate leadership.
