Sustainable Business

Mission & Objectives

Since 2022, the French Chamber of Commerce in Singapore has been committed to the UN Global Compact corporate responsibility initiative and its principles in the areas of human rights, labour, the environment and anti-corruption. The FCCS is determined to take part and engage our business community towards more sustainable business. We encourage our members to find, share, promote solutions and act together to make a tangible change. One of our roles is consequently to encourage businesses to become champions in sustainability through collective commitments and actions.

The Sustainable Business Committee acts as a platform for learning, sharing, networking and matching companies so that they can achieve their circular economy and sustainability goals. Our “Towards Sustainable Business” vision is to emphasise how sustainability can be used as a leverage to boost an inclusive and sustainable growth while preserving our future and the role businesses play in this collective effort.

Why join the events of this committee:

To increase one’s understanding of key sustainability and climate change issues
To share practical approaches for how French companies (or FCCS members) are leveraging new opportunities for growth, performance, and competitiveness that also delivers positive environmental and social outcomes;
To be part of a forum convening Singaporean and French companies to advance the dialogue, collective action and business opportunities around sustainability and the circular economy
To be inspired by sustainability leaders
To network and be part of the sustainability and social ecosystem
To promote diversity and inclusion in the workplace
