supplying new energy for energy transition, as well as a project collaboration with HSL Constructor to explore opportunities for fuel cell technology. The next case study is on the Sustainability Project in Tuas Nexus, Singapore called the Integrated Waste Management Facility (IWMF), where NEA has raised $1.65billion from maiden green bond to finance the agency’s development of sustainable waste management infrastructure.
To start the journey on sustainability, Mr Wee proposed five steps: Identify and list down stakeholders, Engage and discuss with stakeholders to identify and shortlist material
topics, Tabulate the utility bills for the past 3 years, evaluate top 10 suppliers’ ESG practises, and lastly, to frame the company’s ESG strategic plan. In the final segment, Mr Wee shared on the Government Grant and Incentives available to support SME’s sustainability initiatives.
To end off, Mr Wee stressed that members should not wait for their clients to tell them what to do before they start acting on it. Members must be fundamentally prepared for the Sustainability Road
ahead. ASPRI also invited Mr Danny Chua, Secretary of ASPRI 13th Executive Council to deliver the closing speech for the webinar. During his closing statement, Mr Chua seconded Mr Wee’s point and shared on some key initiatives that ASPRI will be spearheading to prepare our members for the future.

SOCIAL NIGHT
2022
18 May 2022
After more than 2 years, ASPRI finally hosted our first face to face social night at Kanpai 789. With more than 140 attendees from 69 member companies, it took a short while for them to warm up their engines as the attendees mingled freely amidst a free flow of beer, wine, and food.
The highlight of the evening was a beer drinking relay featuring ASPRI team versus a members’ line up. Ultimately, the members line up won the relay at an impressive 91 seconds and walked away with a bottle of Glenlivet 12 Year Single Malt.
ASPRI would like to thank our members and Kanpai 789 for making this Social Night a success and we hope to see you again in the future!
