Managing Sustainability at Singtel
A dedicated Group CSR function is tasked with managing sustainability throughout the Singtel Group. The Group Director of Human Resources assumes overall responsibility and is supported by Vice President for Group CSR.
 
There are two levels of sustainability management and oversight. Firstly, there is the Group level for the Asia-Pacific region. This brings together all the relevant working groups for Singtel in Singapore, Optus in Australia, and the regional associates. The focus at this level is on driving and collaborating on CSR programmes in key markets, as well as sharing best practices.
 
Secondly there is the country level for Singapore. The CSR Working Group in Singapore is led by Group CSR and is actively involved in developing and implementing the sustainability strategy and programmes together with the business. The working group is made up of representatives from both business and support units.
 
We also convened a working group for our Environmental Management System (EMS) as we embarked on a project to review and update our EMS. This working group comprises representatives from our fixed, mobile, submarine cable and satellite networks, property and data centre operations.
 
 
 
 
 
In addition, many of our management meetings now include sustainability aligned agenda items. These issues are an important part of the strategic planning process and contribute to the overall operational improvement plans and targets.
