And……WE DID IT! Emerging as Champions of the CDL-GCNS Young SDG Leaders Awards seemed like only a dream when I first entered this competition. But here the team stands, with six months of hard work paying off with a championship in hand!✨ Words cannot define how incredible of a learning experience this has been. From Phase 1, where we had to uncover the impacts of the hospitality industry on the environment, and find new and innovative methods to address these impacts; to Phase 2, where we created K-CALC, a Scope 3 emissions calculator for "K” Line Pte Ltd (Singapore), diving into the complicated but rewarding process of building robust formulas, conducting in-depth research into how Scope 3 emissions are measured and reported across the maritime industry, and finally designing and developing an interactive prototype that could translate all that complexity into a practical tool.  Working on K-CALC showed me how sustainability is rarely straightforward — it’s layered, complex, and requires collaboration across many industries and people. It was a great honour to present K-CALC at the 17th UNGCNS Summit, where we shared about K-CALC’s various features and its architectural diagram, as well as its main advantage – the ability to pull data directly from a company’s existing database without need for additional systems. An undoubted highlight of the Summit was having the opportunity to meet such great figures in the sustainability field, like CDL’s Chief Sustainability Officer Esther An, Dr. Matt Dearth, PhD and UNGCNS Director of Operations Mr Reddiam Raghu Ram! It was truly inspiring to see and hear the passion about sustainability that they all possess! Of course, I can’t forget the team that worked through sleepless nights with me, Jurrienne Ang, Shae Gan, Clare Chan — Team SDGeniuses🌍. This team truly has been one of the best ones I have been a part of, and I don't know how I would’ve gotten through these six months without you guys. A big thank you to our mentor from “K” Line, Chen Y., and our student mentor Jin Pin Lim, for guiding us through this project, and to Jeffrey Lee for helping out on the technical portions of creating K-CALC. Also grateful to Ngee Ann Polytechnic for the opportunity to attend this competition, and our lecturers, Ms Candy and Mr Melvin, who guided us throughout these few months. Finally, of course, the teams at City Developments Limited and UN Global Compact Network Singapore that put this competition together! This is not the end, but just the beginning of a journey to drive real impact for sustainability. A big congratulations to my fellow winners too, I’m excited to see where this path takes us next!🍀 #UNGCNS #YoungSDGLeaders #Sustainability #NgeeAnnPoly

🌏 UN Global Compact Network Singapore Summit 2025: Highlights and Reflections “When business leads with purpose, trust follows. When we move forward together, our progress is unstoppable.” – Sanda Ojiambo, Assistant Secretary-General and CEO, United Nations Global Compact. 🌟 Over 450 business leaders, policymakers, investors, and changemakers came together at the 17th UNGCNS Summit to explore how we can move forward faster through collective action and leadership for a sustainable future. From Guest of Honour Ms Indranee Rajah’s keynote calling for credible standards to unlock sustainable finance, to the Fireside Chat highlighting how businesses and youth are driving real change, the Summit sparked open, solutions-driven dialogue across sectors. Key themes that emerged: 💡Across every plenary and breakout sessions, one message stood out: collaboration is the currency of progress. 💡 Credible standards and data transparency are vital for mobilising sustainable finance and investor trust. 💡 Social sustainability, especially human rights in the supply chain, is becoming increasingly prioritised. 💡 Smart capital and strong governance are key to translating ambition into action. 💡 Biodiversity and nature are now central to business strategy and not a side note. 💡 AI and technology are transforming how companies measure, manage and scale sustainability impact. 💡 Supply chain decarbonisation is a collective responsibility across sectors and borders. The Summit wrapped up with a lively debate on the future of carbon markets and a candid closing plenary on how AI is reshaping sustainability, followed by closing remarks from our newly appointed Executive Director, David Fogarty FRICS, PISEP, REnvP, who reminded us that progress happens when business, government, and society move forward together with purpose. We also unveiled our latest report, “Bridging the Green Impact Gap in Singapore”, produced in collaboration with Schneider Electric. Download the report for insights from 1,000 business leaders on how Singapore can lead the regional sustainability agenda.https://https://lnkd.in/gfH_ccU9 A heartfelt thank you to Resorts World Sentosa for hosting us as well as our Titanium Sponsors, DBS Bank and Schneider Electric, along with the rest of our sponsors, for their support in the success of our Summit.
