Tsao Pao Chee Group: promoting well-being in collaboration with the National University of Singapore

Published on July 22, 2024

Tsao Pao Chee is collaborating with the National University of Singapore (NUS) Centre for Governance and Sustainability at the NUS Business School to establish the Well-being and EESG Academy (WEGA). WEGA, focusing on Economics, Environmental, Social, and Governance (EESG), aims to lead research and education for a uniquely Asian approach to sustainability.

With an SGD $1 million seed fund from Tsao Pao Chee, WEGA will position businesses as the key driver behind ESG practices to advance a sustainable wellbeing and happiness economy.

Tsao Pao Chee's Chairman, Chavalit Frederick Tsao, emphasises the urgency of this mission: “We are at the eleventh hour to find a holistic solution to the 17 Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). NUS, as the number one business school in Asia, is the perfect partner to drive this change. WEGA will be a place for research, community building, and change, promoting public, private, and philanthropy partnerships. As a family business of over 120 years, TPC is responding to the call and invites all to join us on this movement.”
