Describe what you do.

I hope to promote green living, community and heritage initiatives to build a healthier future. I actively advocate for a sustainable community through policies and initiatives that support wellness, design, innovation and culture.

How does your business make a difference?

Sustainability is the key to a better future. We need to be able to provide for present needs without compromising the ne of future generations. [At Sino Group] we have management approaches and initiatives to achieve our goal of creating better lifescapes.

Climate change has emerged as one of world's most critical issues and achieving net zero carbon is at the top of our agenda. Our Sustainability Vision 2030 maps a clear path for green living, innovative design and community spirit. Sustainability governance, sustainability blueprints and internal communications [are our priorities]. We launched the Sino Sustainability Academy in 2020 to ensure that the ethos of championing sustainability practices permeates from our leadership to frontline staff.

Do you have any mentors?

My late grandfather Ng Teng Fong, the founder of Sino Group. He always told us: "You will be good at whatever you are passionate about." I miss him every day.

When did your interest in urban farming begin?
