AgileAsia and SMU Academy have announced a partnership to deliver sustainability and Environmental, Social, and Governance (ESG) programmes in Singapore. This collaboration combines AgileAsia’s industry expertise with SMU Academy’s academic framework to offer practitioner-led courses aimed at equipping organisations and professionals with practical sustainability skills.
The partnership will see AgileAsia’s specialists and SMU Academy’s academic leaders co-develop certified courses. These programmes will focus on practical skills such as climate risk assessment, ESG reporting, and organisational change, addressing the growing demand for structured, SkillsFuture-supported sustainability training.
Sharan Mangalore, CEO of AgileAsia, highlighted the strategic fit of the partnership, stating, “SMU Academy was a natural academic partner for us due to its strong emphasis on applied learning, sustainability thought leadership, and close engagement with industry and government stakeholders.”
Two certification programmes have been launched under this partnership: the Sustainability Project Management course and the Certified Climate Resilient Officer programme. Both are aligned with SkillsFuture Singapore frameworks and aim to address execution gaps in ESG initiatives and climate resilience planning.
This collaboration reflects a commitment to developing future-ready sustainability professionals through applied education pathways. Organisations and professionals interested in enhancing their ESG capabilities can explore these new offerings through AgileAsia and SMU Academy.
