Our world is changing. The flaws in our system exposed. Challenges growing day by day: we need change. Corporations have a huge role to play. Profits with purpose is the new norm: Businesses cannot thrive in a world in which people don’t. No one can do everything, but everyone can do something. Let’s make this the Decade for Decisive Action.
Business as a force for good. The UN Global Compact believes that by committing to sustainability, businesses can take shared responsibility for achieving a better world. Our vision is to mobilise a global movement of sustainable companies and stakeholders to take decisive action in creating the world we want. Partner with us for two of our flagship events to demonstrate your company’s leadership in sustainability: 1. The 13th GCNS Summit 2. The 6th Singapore Apex Corporate Sustainability Awards Ceremony

Theme - Decade For Decisive Action: Designing Our Future
26-27 October 2021
COVID-19 has been identified as the great reset. This
provides societies, governments and businesses the
opportunity to repair the drawbacks of a system that
benefitted a few and exploited many.
The devastating economic and societal disruptions
caused by the pandemic threaten to reverse years of
progress on the Sustainable Development Goals.
Businesses can play a leading role in how the world
rebuilds amid the pandemic: to rectify the cracks that
existed pre-COVID-19 and co-create a better world in
which no one is left behind.

Testimonials
23“Whilst the COVID-19 pandemic has brought unprecedented challenges both for people and society, it
has given businesses the opportunity to “Reset, Reimagine and Rebuild”. This was well resonated
throughout the first virtual GCNS Summit 2020.
The virtual Summit bridged the gaps of personal interactions by organising several breakout sessions
allowing the participants to have dialogues with thought leaders in their field of interest. The diverse
background of speakers in the panel discussion encouraged the conversation to encompass the multi-
disciplinary, cross-border goals of sustainability.
I am thankful to GCNS for facilitating this important conversation and look forward to attending the
Summit again next year.”
Mr Nirmal Vineeth Menon
Senior Engineer
Sembcorp Marine Limited“The GCNS Summit was an interesting learning and networking session that focused on sustainable
development. There were several interactive breakout sessions through which participants were given
opportunities to select the subject topics they were interested in.
‘A Tangled Web - Overcoming the Challenges in Building Sustainable Supply Chains’ was a very constructive
breakout session which addressed the challenges SMEs face in developing a sustainable supply chain, along
with the risks associated if such challenges are not appropriately addressed.
The other breakout session which I attended was also interesting -"Developing the Workforce of the Future -
Utilising Untapped Sources of Manpower" conducted in a Human Library format, in which real people were on
loan to participants to share their life experiences. Being a foreigner, I thought the site visits organized by GCNS
were also a good experience.”
