Stewardship Asia Centre has officially rebranded as the Steward Leadership Institute (SLI), marking a significant evolution in its mission to cultivate purpose-driven leaders. Announced on 3 July 2026, the change reflects the organisation’s transition from a platform for dialogue to an institute dedicated to equipping leaders with the skills to create lasting value for organisations, society, and the environment.
The rebrand is part of SLI’s strategy to address the challenges of the “naked economy,” where transparency and trust are paramount. CEO Rajeev Peshawaria emphasised the importance of leaders who generate genuine value for all stakeholders, stating, “In this environment, only leaders who create genuine value for all stakeholders, not just shareholders, will earn the trust needed to sustain profitable growth.”
SLI, a unit within the Temasek Trust ecosystem, aims to build a better future for every generation. The new visual identity includes a diamond atop the “I” in the wordmark, symbolising the ascent of individuals and the institute’s commitment to elevating leaders.
All existing programmes, frameworks, and client agreements remain unchanged, ensuring continuity in SLI’s operations. The institute continues to focus on research, education, and advisory services to enable profitable growth whilst addressing environmental and social challenges. As part of the Temasek Trust ecosystem, SLI shares a common purpose with the philanthropic arm of Singapore-based global investor Temasek Holdings.
