RGE held its inaugural Bankers\u2019 Forum on 24 May 2019 at the Fullerton Hotel in Singapore, welcoming almost 200 stakeholders from more than 50 financial institutions for a morning of dialogue and sharing.

RGE President Tey Wei Lin delivers an update on the global operations of RGE companies.<\/p><\/div>\n

The event opened with two presentations from Mr Tey and Mr Bey, who respectively delivered updates on the business and sustainability fronts. Mr Tey provided an overview of the group\u2019s 2018 performance and 2019 outlook. He not only highlighted RGE\u2019s global presence and growth, but also its diversification and application of value-adding strategies. RGE as a group has doubled its assets in the span of 10 years, while its business groups have maintained cost competitiveness.<\/p>\n

Mr Bey presented the group\u2019s sustainability policies and their implementation, in addition to touching on the relevance of the United Nations\u2019 Sustainable Development Goals<\/a> (UN SDGs) to the business philosophy of RGE companies. The SDGs, he shared, provided a framework and common language for RGE companies to realise our 5C\u2019s principles<\/a>, that is to do what is good for the community, country, climate, customer, and only then will that be good for the company. Mr Bey continued with examples on how sustainability remains embedded in the groups\u2019 operations, in the form of operational circularity and efficiency, as well as driving ecorestoration projects.<\/p>\n

The presentations were followed by an engaging panel discussion and Q&A session, in which the executives shared with financial stakeholders in attendance many updates on the group of companies, before fielding questions on growth and digital transformation.<\/p>\n

The sharing and exchange had a common thread that touched on the group\u2019s growth and how it remains supported by diversification, strengthening vertical integration across value chains, strategic management of risks, and a steadfast commitment to digital transformation and alignment with best practices.<\/p>\n
