Doing Good And Doing Well In Business Are Inextricably Linked

In school, you started a non-profit called Save That Pen. After that, you were with EDB. Before joining your family business, Ichi Seiki, an engineering firm, you worked for the international sustainability non-profit Forum for the Future. Can you tell us about your experiences?

Volunteers have been running Save That Pen for 11 years. The project started off as a little pet project with three friends in our final year of university, and we continue to do it. We each bring something new and unique to the work as our careers grow in different directions, so it has been fun to witness that. Through the project, I also learned more about the recycling infrastructure in Singapore.
