Real estate company City Developments Limited (CDL), urban indoor farm BlueAcres and sustainability practitioner Esther An were the top winners of their respective categories at the second edition of the Sustainability Impact Awards, organised by The Business Times and UOB.
CDL clinched the Impact Enterprise of the Year award under the large enterprise category for its capacity-building and thought leadership in climate action. The property developer has, with the Sustainable Energy Association of Singapore, built a sustainability academy that has hosted more than 1,000 advocacy events and reached out to 34,500 in-person visitors.
BlueAcres won the Impact Enterprise of the Year award in the small and medium-sized enterprise (SME) category for blending environmental and social impact. The company has enabled individuals with moderate autism to acquire farming skills, allowing them to be part of society while also alleviating Singapore's labour shortage on farms.
As for the individual category, CDL's chief sustainability officer Esther An was awarded Impact Leader of the Year for being a pioneer in this field.
As chair of the Sustainability Reporting Advisory, which was set up by the Accounting and Corporate Regulatory Authority and the Singapore Exchange Regulation to chart a road map for sustainability reporting, she has helped shape national regulations for climate-related disclosures in the city-state.
