With several priorities for Singapore at the fore — from economic recovery to climate change, it is important for Singapore to become Asia’s environmental, social and governance (ESG) leader and a destination of choice for multinational corporations amid an evolving global tax landscape. Hence, KPMG in Singapore has proposed a 3C framework (Catching the Sun, Charting New Orbits and Strengthening our Core) that sets out a roadmap for transforming the nation to build lasting companies and communities on a fragile planet and for an unpredictable future.
